ABOUT US

Passionate about water & the Environment

When we set out to create SuDSPlanter®, our aim was to produce an environmentally sound flood mitigation device which would improve homeowners’ lives through urban greening and flood defence.

We’re proud to have achieved all that, and more: yes, SuDSPlanter® is ideal for individual homes, but it also has uses in the wider commercial and housing development fields, the water industry and as a compelling educational tool, with direct relevance to the National Curriculum.

We now have a manufacturing team producing the planters, and clients ranging from individual householders to schools and community projects. To fit with our environmental ethos our SuDSPlanter® is made from 100% recycled/recyclable materials. We are constantly working to innovate and develop our product range to meet our customers’ and the environment’s needs.

Lorna Davis and Alex Stephenson are the innovative minds behind SuDSPlanter®, a sustainable flood mitigation device enhancing urban greening and flood defence. Lorna, a landscape architect, and surface water management specialist, brings a wealth of experience from her work within the Water Industry delivering Surface water management solutions alongside other environmental initiatives. Alex, with 45 years in surface water management, has led major projects in drainage, wastewater, and sustainable water management. Together, they have developed SuDSPlanter® for homeowners, schools, and the wider commercial sector, promoting environmental sustainability with their 100% recycled plastic product and ongoing innovations.

SUDSPLANTER® ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIETAL ETHOS

Making our gardens greener and our cities, rivers and beaches cleaner

Todays’ climate means we face uncertain weather patterns, increasingly frequent exceptional episodes and a depleting environment. ‘Once in every 10 years’ floods are now happening every two, three or five years. Issues with more extreme weather have been exacerbated by the loss of permeable landscape, and its replacement by hard landscaping, paved areas and vast areas of tarmac or construction. All of which means we have increasing amounts of surface run-off: rainwater ‘looking’ for somewhere to go… and it reaches our traditional piped drainage quicker than ever before and in larger volumes than ever before too.
