Our Services.

  • At Mint Landscape we are able to work alongside the Client and project team to develop the brief. Through strategic, landscape focussed site analysis including Landscape Visual Appraisals we can help define the proposals and ensure a solid foundation for the design to evolve from.

  • Every great design starts with an idea. We draw inspiration from our surroundings to instil a sense of place and purpose; we believe every site has something unique to be celebrated.

    Mint Landscape are able to lead the Concept Design to ensure a collaborative approach, where the landscape responds sensitively to its surroundings whilst celebrating opportunity.

  • We are able to assist with the Detailed Landscape Design, progressing the information developed at Stage 1 & 2 to provide information suitable for planning submission and costing.

    This includes stand-alone information such as a Landscape Statement and/ or input into the Design and Access Statement in collaboration with the project Architect.

    We are also experienced in attending and presenting at Design Review Panels and Pre Application meetings.

Testimonial

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Catrin on a major equestrian facility build that had hit a road block in obtaining planning permission.

It was Catrin’s imagination, attention to detail, knowledge and professional engagement that won over both the council’s planning authority as well as everyone else working on the project.

Without her passion for our project as if it was her own, I am not sure our dream would have been realised. Thank you Catrin for making our dream come true.
