Our landscapes hold far greater potential than they are often given the opportunity to realise.
What we doFrom private gardens to 500 acre estates, we work with landowners and forward thinking businesses curious to shape long-term visions for their land.
Across Britain, landowners are reimagining the role of their landscapes - exploring how they can restore biodiversity, generate new income streams, and host meaningful experiences in nature.
Our work sits at the intersection of Landscape Design, Ecological Restoration, Regenerative Land Management, and Rural Diversification.
By combining these disciplines, we help guide the transformation of rural landscapes into regenerative estates and nature-based destinations.
Who we areLandscape transformation requires expertise that goes beyond a single discipline.
Conscious Landscape is led by William Oldfield and Elliot Aguirre - two founders who between them bring together landscape strategy, ecological design, and regenerative land systems.
Together they have guided projects ranging from private country gardens to large-scale estate transformations, working closely with a trusted network of ecologists, planners, architects, and land managers to take each project from vision through to reality.
