Conceptual design

Conceptual design is the initial phase of the design process in which the overall vision, ideas, and creative concepts for a landscape project are developed. It involves brainstorming, exploration, and the generation of ideas to establish the foundation upon which the rest of the design will be built. The goal of conceptual design is to capture the essence of the project, its desired mood, functionality, and aesthetic character. It serves as the foundation for further development and refinement in subsequent design phases

Masterplanning

A landscape masterplan is a comprehensive plan that outlines the design of a landscape. It serves as a guiding framework for the overall layout, features, functions and aesthetic qualities of the landscape whether it’s a park, town centre, campus, residential community, nature reserve or any other type of outdoor space.

Detailed design

This is the design phase that follows conceptual design or masterplanning. In this phase, the ideas and concepts are further refined and translated into detailed plans, drawings, and specifications that provide comprehensive guidance for construction and implementation. The goal is to transform the conceptual vision into a practical and actionable design that contractors can follow.

Contract administration

This is the process of overseeing and managing the implementation of a landscape project in accordance with the terms and specifications outlined in the contract between the client and the landscape contractor. This phase of the project occurs after the design and planning stages have been completed, and construction or installation work is underway. As contract administrators we ensure that the design intent is realised on-site and that the final landscape meets the desired quality, functionality, and aesthetic standards outlined in the contract and design documents.

Landscape management plans

A landscape management plan is a document that outlines the strategies, guidelines, and practices for the ongoing maintenance, care, and stewardship of a landscape or outdoor space. It serves as a roadmap for ensuring that the landscape remains healthy, functional, and visually appealing over time. Landscape management plans serve as a guide for property owners, managers, maintenance teams, and other stakeholders involved in the upkeep of the area. A well-developed landscape management plan contributes to the long-term success and sustainability of a landscape, ensuring that it remains vibrant, functional, and aesthetically pleasing for years to come.

Landscape and visual impact assessment (LVIA)

A Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA) is a comprehensive process used to evaluate and analyse the potential effects of a proposed development or project on the surrounding landscape and visual environment. The goal of an LVIA is to identify and assess the potential impacts on the aesthetic quality and character of the landscape, as well as the visual experience of people within and outside the setting. The assessment helps decision-makers and project stakeholders make informed choices that balance development needs with the preservation and enhancement of the landscape and visual environment.

Planning applications

We can provide the landscape information needed for all types of planning applications (outline, full, reserved matters etc). We are also experts at providing the detailed information necessary to discharge planning conditions. This is process of fulfilling or meeting specific conditions that have been attached to a planning permission grated by a local planning authority. Planning conditions are requirements that must be satisfied before a development can proceed to a certain phase. This ensures that certain criteria are met to mitigate potential impacts and ensure that the development aligns with local policies and regulations.

Testimonials

  • “We were on the lookout for a landscaping consultancy whose focus on quality matched our own and who are also responsive, efficient and reliable. Mood Landscape have met that aspiration and surpassed it. The quality of the work is exceptional with even the most pedantic of Council landscape and POS officers in our area of coverage having little to comment on when we submit applications. Mood give a detailed summary of the thought process behind their landscaping designs which is particularly helpful in us selling our proposals to councils and communities alike. They are also able to provide highly competent landscape and visual impact assessments to really round off a high quality landscape offering which has been invaluable on a number of the schemes we have now worked on together.”

    James Durant

    Strategic Planning Manager, Cotswold Homes
  • “We have worked with Sarah & the team at Mood Landscape for a number of years now, on a number of our new development projects across the country. They have produced many landscaping/planting schemes for us that not only meet planning requirements but positively enhance the character, setting and quality of all of our developments. Mood provide a highly professional, efficient and creative service that has proved successful in every instance, when engaged by us to assist. They also provide associated ecology services that have proved equally successful for planning and implementation purposes. As such, I have no hesitation in recommending Mood Landscape to anyone looking for the landscaping and ecology services.”

    Alistair Wood

    Planning & Development Manager, LNT Care Developments
  • "We have worked with Mood since their inception on a number of projects, from small scale single dwellings to new housing estates. In all cases the location has been sensitive in landscape terms and required a creative response but one that still meets the exacting requirements of the English planning system. That is why we instructed Sarah and her team to bring a bit of creative flair and well as rigour to help with our planning applications. They are knowledgeable, responsive and a joy to work with."

    Reuben Bellamy

    Planning Director, Lone Star Land
  • “With Sarah’s help, expertise and inspiration we’ve been able to transform the way we approach our memorial and grounds developments across our crematoria and cemeteries. The result of that has been development and creation of some very special gardens which I know will provide beautiful places for families to remember their loved ones for generations to come. Sarah is a pleasure to work with, providing us with not only exceptional concepts and designs but also the support, management and oversight of large and challenging projects. I wouldn’t hesitate to whole-heartedly recommend Mood Landscape.”

    Kate Davidson

    CEO Dignity PLC
  • “Winchcombe Town Council had the pleasure of working with Mood Landscape on a major new park development for the town. Mood took the project from tender stage through to completion and their professionalism and expertise were instrumental in the success of the project. Throughout the project they showed an impressive level of attention to detail, carefully considering all factors and dealing with some challenging issues along the way.

    Thanks to the hard work and dedication of Sarah and Heather, our town now has a public space that we can be truly proud of. The park is beautiful, functional and practical, incorporating features that enhance the well-being of our residents and visitors. The project has been met with enthusiastic feedback from residents and has become a true community asset. We highly recommend Mood Landscape for any town looking for a talented and committed landscape architecture practice.”
