What is a Landscape Strategy?
A landscape strategy is one of many technical documents that ProHort can produce to aid you throughout your planning application and subsequent development. It includes a detailed plan of the site, often specifying the hard and soft landscaping elements that will be included in the project. You may get multiple plans; typically one that covers the planting elements (and will identify where individual trees and plants are to be placed) and another that may highlight the areas of hard landscaping. The plans will also identify any existing features on the site that will be retained.
A clear landscape strategy will incorporate aspects of the property’s history and the surrounding area to ensure that your design seamlessly blends into the environment. You may also get additional details of the type, size and colour of the plants incorporated into the strategy, or specifications regarding compensating for any loss of biodiversity.
They can also be tailored to meet your requirements – if you have a particular plant, style of paving or additional touch that you would like incorporated then your landscape architect should be able to arrange this. Please be aware that a landscape strategy will exclude pricing of items, as it is purely a strategic document.
