Landscape Design

Landscape Design

LUC designs are firmly rooted in the site and its context. Our team of landscape architects produces locally distinctive solutions to complex sets of user requirements. We do this by being rigorous and informed, and by using whole site planning to produce ‘joined up’ designs. Our creative intelligence is reinforced by exemplary knowledge of the latest techniques and technology.

We enjoy building relationships with our clients and other members of the design or delivery team whether they are consultants or contractors. In so doing we add value to the overall design, not just the landscape component. This approach fosters trust and dependable outputs in terms of quality programme and cost, and is reflected in our high levels of repeat business.

We use this approach on all projects regardless of size, type or stage. We cover all types of landscape and urban design – education, health, housing, commercial, sport, land renewal, infrastructure.

We provide:

  • Site appraisal, capacity and feasibility studies
  • Master planning and site planning
  • Detailed design, procurement and inspection
  • Aftercare and management

We are adept at standard procedures such as value engineering, risk assessment, environmental impact assessment, and BREEAM. We use these as part of our ongoing creative process, rather than as a retrospective exercise. We are aware of the planning and policy context of all our schemes and seek to find solutions that deliver these policies and ease planning approval.
