Welcome to roots...

roots is a unique and powerful 'one-stop' software tool designed to apply best practice to the specification, scheme design and tendering processes involved in the creation of attractive, sustainable woodland and open space.

Four dynamic yet easy to use modules lead the user through the specification process:

Site Characterisation
Ready Reckoners
Species Selection
Site Specification

Each module includes easy-to-follow walk-through screens to guide the user logically through each stage of the process.

roots facilitates the compilation of relevant information for each site and generates genuinely bespoke tender documentation. The software intuitivley assimilates data and guides the user right through all the relevant specification and decision making processes, including scheme design and tendering.

Importantly, roots has been designed to ensure that the latest best practice guidance is applied at all times throughout each process and specification.
