The Council’s Architectural and Landscape team offer a full professional range of landscape services from initial consultation through to the completion of a project on the ground.  A fee is normally charged and is calculated either on a time basis or as a fee of the project implementation value. 

 

The service unit offers a range of services from site evaluation through to design, implementation and aftercare.  We have wide ranging expertise covering parks and open spaces, civic spaces, urban and rural environmental improvements, play-related facilities, urban forestry and cemetery design.  There is a particular focus on the integration of bespoke elements and / or public art into environmental improvement schemes including the preparation of artist briefs.  We have additional expertise in countryside management, arboriculture, project management, public consultation and CDM (Construction Design and Management) co-ordinator services.  Further, we have researched, designed and implemented innovative environmental based solutions to control populations of Canada Geese.  The Landscape Design staff are committed to innovative ‘outside the box’ design thinking that rejects the mundane and this manifests itself in our work.
