Land Remediation

We provide consultancy services on a wide range of strategies and solutions for land regeneration that combine water harvesting and erosion control on difficult terrain. We have the experience and know-how to help remediate eroded rural land or former industrial sites that may be contaminated by previous uses and are thereby harmful to human health.

Treescaping

Trees have social, communal, environmental and economic benefits. We work with clients on the design and placement of trees in landscapes and around settlements to combat erosion and the effects of floods, while suppressing winds and dust. Trees effectively moderate climatic conditions, provide shade, give off oxygen, improve air quality, conserve water and harbour wildlife. In addition, they earn carbon credits.

Environmental Maintenance

The environment requires regular maintenance to prevent natural degradation caused by droughts, heat waves and high winds. EDGE 5 has been maintaining environmental systems for more than 20 years, offsetting the human factors that cause environmental degradation include deforestation, industrialisation and urbanisation. We offer advice on the most effective methodologies to manage and maintain sites.

Earthworks

By observing and reading landscapes, we design strategies to store water and conserve water in dams, swales, tree systems and underground. This can be achieved through the use of earthworks which can control erosion effectively by modifying the local landscape.

Dust Suppression

Wind directions and surface conditions are major elements in the production of dust. We design systems using trees and earthworks to reduce winds and dust loads.

Windbreaks

With our windbreak designs and correct selection of tree species, we are able to modify the effect of local winds on sites of all sorts, modifying their effects on the landscape and reducing energy consumption for heating and cooling on the built environment.

Fire-Safe Design

We provide consultancy and design services on fire prevention and water harvesting to reduce the growing impact of wildfires and land dehydration worldwide. We have proven strategies on appropriate designs for houses and landscapes that can effectively save homes and lives.  

Village Design

We provide cost-effective solutions for village development to allow the community to provide for their own needs such as food & water, shelter, energy and self-reliance.   The design process takes into account all elements of environment, people, climate, and infrastructure and determines a system that will integrate all these elements into a sustainable, functional village.  

Farm & Rural Design

With water supplies now a major concern for rural property owners in the developing world, we have provided consultation services to a growing number of farmers, offering advice on how to harvest water, and how to redesign their farms and landscapes to increase yields and offset the effects of drought or wild fire .
