About M Squared
We create the exceptional outdoor spaces that make developments stand out. We're specialists in commercial landscaping and groundworks, working with main contractors, end clients and public sector organisations to create the outdoor spaces that enhance housing developments, care settings, public places, and more.
We have built a strong reputation by consistently delivering on complex and high profile projects throughout the UK. Our experienced and dedicated team have fuelled our growth, all sharing our commitment to innovation and continuous improvement. We've developed unique, tailored technology to streamline processes and project management for all staff, and continually invest in tools, training and team-building to ensure everyone can thrive.
