Land Regeneration

Ethos Recycling have a reputation for building Golf Courses and developing land in a way that benefits both the environment and the client.
Through the use of our soil recycling methods and by diverting construction soils from landfill, Ethos recycling has become one of the leading land regeneration specialists and leisure amenity providers in the UK. Working in conjunction with some of the UK’s best know Architects, we have designed, created and improved over 600 acres of land for both private landowners and local authorities. Ethos Recycling continues to seek out new and improved benefits for our customers, carrying out work on:
• Golf Course Projects
• Leisure amenity
• Shooting ranges
• Park developments
• Land regeneration
• Protection systems

Utilising unique partnerships between suitable construction developments and the needs of the client’s requirements and visions, Ethos Recycling are able to offer a build method that is cost effective.
We would welcome any potential customers to come and view our progressive works in this field.

Design and Build Solutions

Ethos recycling have specialist internal staff that can take existing designs or ideas and turn these into working drawings and plans. We can also offer advice on planning issues.
We work closely with the client’s own designers and planners if preferred, and our project managers are there to liase with those of the client.

Golf Course Development
Through our partnerships with Glendale Golf and Weller Designs we have the ability to offer all aspects of building a quality course. Ethos Recycling are able to offer not only the soils and machinery, but also a completely finished product from an idea right through to the final tees & greens if this is what the customer requires. All work is carried out to the highest standard and meets all the requirements with regard to legislation and Health & Safety.

Right now, somewhere in the country a golf course is being constructed using inert soils. The government want all of us to re-use things such as paper, wood, glass, tin cans, etc. Many of us think only of household waste when we think about recycling. Do you realise how many thousands of tons of soil have to be moved each year from motorways, building tunnelling and other construction projects? These soils are then termed to be waste.

The costs in moving and dumping these inert soils is immense and often the only place we have to put them is into a hole in the ground (Landfill) The government are discouraging all of us in various forms from using landfill sites. So where are these soils supposed to go?

Ethos Recycling use these inert soils to build golf courses amongst other things and in doing so we can generate additional income for our clients, whilst helping the environment and providing a service.

To demonstrate how committed we are to give you the highest standards and our desire to meet customer expectations, take a look at some of our completed projects below. Ethos were instrumental to the extension of the existing 18 holes by increasing the course to an extended 27 hole championship golf course through utilising the methods we have described above.

Course: Stonebridge Golf Club
Location: Meriden

To further demonstrate our ability we are currently completing a stunning arena style 18 hole golf course.

Course: The Heritage Golf Course

Project Diversity
Having worked predominantly with private estate owners we understand how important and personal these projects are to our clients, and whilst creating the desired scheme, we try to develop close relationships to ensure the local populations needs, surroundings and environment is not in danger.

Customer Care
All Ethos Recycling projects are carried out by competent and experienced personnel to ensure that our clients are confident in knowing that they will receive the level of service that they expect. We work closely with the needs of the client to ensure that any concerns are dealt with satisfactorily. Most of our projects are monitored by CCTV and this gives both Ethos and the Client the security and peace of mind in knowing what, when and who is on site at any time of the day or night. Our dedicated project manager will be there to liase with and answer any questions that may arise. We are also there to make sure all agency requirements are carried out and that the Environment is not under threat of any kind.

Confidence is paramount to any relationship and especially with something as important as a Golf Course that will be part of the landscape for many years to come.
