PRP Landscape Overview

PRP Landscape has won numerous awards for their landscape design schemes including:

Landscape Institute Design AwardBALI AwardSustainable Landscape Award

PRP Landscape creates imaginative and enduring places where people want to live and spend time. We bring our strategic thinking and creativity to design at all scales both nationally and internationally, from masterplans and neighbourhood regeneration to individual streets and spaces. All our schemes bring people together with nature and promote environmental and social wellbeing.

We have a hands on, collaborative approach to design, listening and engaging with clients, design teams and stakeholders to unlock the true potential of each site. Consequently our schemes embrace ideas, innovation, art and engineering to create truly distinctive places, a number of which have been recognised with design awards.

Our experience encompasses development in the urban and rural environments for the residential, work and leisure sectors.

The landscapes we design can be described in terms of their scale from new urban quarters to individual spaces:-

our place : rethinking neighbourhoods

my place : streets and spaces

We work collaboratively with the design team to ensure that our schemes draw on the strength of their context and are developed within a framework to ensure a clear movement strategy, green and blue structure and public realm hierarchy. This provides a setting for development that respects its surroundings, embraces the needs of people and nature and will sustain over time.
