Landscape Design

Our Landscape Design service delivers high-quality, functional, and sustainable external environments for new build housing estates, residential block refurbishments, and sheltered housing schemes. We design landscapes that enhance quality of life, support wellbeing, and create attractive, safe, and inclusive places for residents and communities.

From early concept design through to detailed delivery, we ensure landscape proposals are practical, policy-compliant, and fully integrated with the wider development.

Landscape Design for New Build Housing Estates

For new build housing developments, our landscape designs create coherent, well-structured public and private spaces that support placemaking, biodiversity, and long-term management.

Our services include:

  • Masterplanning of green infrastructure and public realm
  • Street, courtyard, and communal space design
  • Private garden and shared amenity space layouts
  • Sustainable drainage (SuDS) integration
  • Play spaces and informal recreation areas
  • Planting strategies for longevity and biodiversity

We ensure landscape designs respond to context, housing density, and future maintenance requirements.

Landscape Design for Refurbishment and Estate Renewal

Our landscape refurbishment design services enhance existing housing estates and residential blocks, improving safety, usability, and appearance.

We design:

  • Upgrades to communal open spaces
  • Improved access, circulation, and wayfinding
  • Hard and soft landscaping enhancements
  • Boundary treatments and defensible space design
  • Integration with building refurbishment works

Our approach supports phased delivery and occupied environments, minimising disruption to residents.

Landscape Design for Sheltered and Supported Housing

We provide landscape design for sheltered and supported housing schemes, with a strong focus on accessibility, comfort, and wellbeing.

Our designs consider:

  • Step-free access and inclusive circulation
  • Seating, resting points, and shaded areas
  • Sensory and therapeutic planting
  • Safe, legible routes and clear sightlines
  • Low-maintenance, durable materials

These environments are designed to be welcoming, safe, and easy to manage.
