Making every pound work as hard as possible

Return on investment is critical at any time but none more so than in the current economic climate

That’s why tcl have been asked to support a number of house builders over recent months in the redesign of previously approved landscape schemes and to undertake the downstream renegotiation with the local authority aligned to the redesign.

Redesigns, undertaken by Covey Outdoor Design (tcl’ in-house landscape design practice), have been commissioned to achieve two specific results, firstly to reduce costs associated with a potentially costly previously approved landscape scheme. And secondly, to ensure that the redesigned scheme really works for the client by achieving great site aesthetics and instant impact, making sure the scheme looks at its best when the house builder needs it most - when houses are being marketed!

Our services include:

  • Initial consultation and scheme redesign
  • Consultancy support during the renegotiation of the redesigned scheme with the local authority
  • Installation and construction of the redesigned landscape scheme

"The design team redesigned an existing landscape scheme with a mature planting palette that provided instant impact from implementation. By targeting key areas they managed to give the appearance of an enhanced quality scheme, whilst keeping within the original budget. They were happy to liaise directly with the LA planning department to ensure that the revised scheme also met with their aspirations."
