Landscape Design

When offered a landscape design brief
the practice can offer to :

• undertake landscape and visual impact assessments
• undertake site studies in collaboration with land surveyors, ecologists, archaeologists etc
• carry out all consultation with the relevant authorities
• design schemes in agreement with the client and other interested parties
• apply for planning permission if necessary
• commission additional services from architects, civil engineers etc.
• prepare specifications and tender documents and liaise with quantity surveyors
• supervise the implementation of the scheme through to conclusion

We are equipped for Computer Aided Design (CAD) and can therefore add landscape details to existing architect's and engineer's CAD drawings quickly and cost effectively.
