Abstract
Celebrating the 300th anniversary of birth of Capability Brown is an opportunity to recognise the significant contribution the 18th Century landscape architect made to civil engineering leaving a sustainable legacy. As a gardener, architect and engineer, he was responsible for over 250 gardens transforming the landscape by extensive earthworks, drainage schemes, earth dams, roads and planting using only the power of people and animals. Brown and his contemporaries such as Grundy Jr, Brindley, Ince and Smeaton, were responsible for innovative engineering that survives today because of continuing investment and maintenance.
