Landscape

BSM provides a full range of landscape architectural services to private and public sector clients.

We are driven to make positive change in our cities, landscape and in the daily lives of people. We analyse, imagine, design and deliver thoughtful, responsive and successful schemes for our clients. We strive for climate-positive solutions that are not only creative, but innovative, pragmatic and affordable.

Our services include landscape planning, landscape design and management, landscape and visual impact assessment (LVIA), biodiversity protection and enhancement.

Our approach is to collaborate with other disciplines to identify added value and also to consider how a project best integrates with its immediate and wider context.

Projects span across many sectors including education, residential, infrastructure (transport, energy, water etc.), healthcare, industrial, commercial, leisure/amenity, public realm and tourism.

Together with our urban design, biodiversity, planning and visualisation specialists, we design and deliver projects spanning strategic development plans, masterplans, major infrastructure projects, streetscapes as well as individual project sites.

We also prepare landscape policy, best-practice guidelines and standards.
