Landscape Architecture

At Heard Landscapes we strive to create spaces which foster healthy communities, support biodiversity and enrich the character of the existing landscape. We are committed to developing practices which are good for the planet and tackle the issues of climate change head on.

How We Design

At Heard Landscapes we design with these things in mind

Sensitive

Delving into the essence of the place to draw out the local character to inform sympathetic designs that knit buildings and the landscape together.

Collaborative

Our open communication and prompt reaction keep the wheels of the project turning, we love working with all kinds of professionals and community groups to share ideas and create a sense of place through landscape design.

Functional

Ultimately we design landscapes to serve the needs of the user that also work in tandem with the wider urban fabric, to create spaces which endure the test of time.

Landscape Architecture

We offer a comprehensive range of landscaping services to enable us to slot into your project at any phase.

  • We can come aboard as you assemble your design team, or be brought in at a later stage to create concept designs for your project. Our designers can help you deliver pre-applications to ensure your project surpasses the criteria for Biodiversity Net Gain and Urban Greening Factor requirements in the early stages of development.

  • Collaboration and team working is where we excel- we can work with your design team of professional engineers, interior designers or planners to deliver technical design packs for full planning applications.

  • Whether you’d like to appoint your own landscape contractor or allow us to appoint one on your behalf, we can oversee the build and ensure the effective and timely delivery of the project. We can also provide aftercare and maintenance plans to ensure ongoing care and quality in line with landscape architecture standards.

Professional testimonials

  • Emma White, ELW Planning

    Becca at Heard Landscapes has been a very valued member of the team on our projects, especially where landscape is critical.

    She is really creative (coming up with novel ideas and approaches), responsive and diligent. She dovetails well into the wider team and presents her work really well. I would thoroughly recommend Becca and her team.

  • Jon Ellis, Artform Group

    We’ve worked with Becca on numerous landscaping projects, across 3 of our development sites, and we’ll definitely be back again.

    Each time the process has been a breeze - Becca’s concepts are brilliant, her visualisations are really helpful, she works to our timeframes and she’s simply a helpful and lovely person to collaborate with. An excellent designer that we would wholeheartedly recommend.
