Lanarca Landscape services encompass strategic landscape planning and design, comprehensive ecology and biodiversity services, environmental impact assessment and visual impact appraisal, detailed design and contract administration, operational management planning and more.
Often chosen to lead and drive projects, we are landscape master planners with the skills to take your project from concept to expert implementation.

Lanarca’s team brings a wealth of experience in advancing masterplans into detailed design proposals. Lanarca’s landscape schemes fully address the brief and stakeholder feedback, resulting in successful and beautiful landscapes that people enjoy.
For the design development and construction stage of a project, Lanarca’s experienced team translate the masterplan proposals into a series of detailed drawings which look at each aspect of the design including trees, planting, hard surfacing, railings and furniture. In addition to the individual element drawing sets, a set of hard works setting out drawings are produced that look at all the individual proposals together at a detailed level.
For new design or complex elements, sections are produced which show the proposed design within the context of the wider landscape. At construction stage detailed construction sections are produced showing how features are constructed including dimensions and materials specification.
On all Lanarca projects materials are carefully selected based on quality, appropriateness, aesthetics, durability and cost.
Lanarca’s team is also experienced in producing NBS specification documents. An NBS specification provides details on materials, dimensions, construction methods, maintenance and timing of works. The NBS documents are read in conjunction with the drawing suite and together provide detailed and comprehensive information to enable construction.
In all our work we strive to meet and exceed our clients’ expectations. In many respects, this is of greatest importance in our detailed design work. We recognise that the soft landscape components contribute significantly to the future environment for our clients to enjoy.
We offer a comprehensive range of landscape-architectural services, including:
