Advantages of a 3D Landscape Design

Landscape Design

What is a 3D Landscape Design?

If you are undertaking a project that doesn’t require planning permission, then you may not have had any drawings completed. If this is the case, then you may be struggling to visualise what the completed project will look like, this is where a 3D Landscape Design can help.

A 3D Landscape Design is a computer-aided design which is created by one of our landscape design consultants. The first step in the process is to arrange a site visit, in which our consultant will attend your property, taking measurements and discussing ideas.

Following this, our consultant will get to work on creating your design. We will arrange a second meeting in which you will be invited to our office to view the design. You will take a virtual walk through the completed project, and make any required amendments right there in the consultation.

Once you are happy with the design, we will create both a digital and a hard copy pack for you, containing multiple images of the design from a range of different angles.

 

The Advantages of a 3D Landscape Design

3D Landscape Design are great for a number of reasons:

  • They put the project down on paper, ensuring everyone involved is agreed on the finished product;
  • The 3D Landscape Design can be handed over to tradespeople to follow, ensuring their construction matches your expectations;
  • They can be offered to clients as an extension of your own 2D drawings.

The Power of Plants – Planting Plans

Planting plans

First impressions count, and gardens or grounds are often the first thing a customer or visitor sees.  More than this, carefully cultivated green spaces create inspiring environments. The right layout, coupled with the right plants, can create a positive atmosphere. It’s worthwhile investing your time into these areas to hit the right notes for your business.

What are planting plans?

At their basic level, Planting plans are a top-down plan of your project. They show all areas that will be planted in and the types of plants that will be used. This is useful for projects both large and small as they can help to visualise how a space will be used including how many plants should be used and their height and size. Planting Plans also allow you to build a theme or mood. Gardens are multisensory experiences and using different plants, textures, and colours can enhance our experiences and perceptions.

Furthermore, local authorities are increasingly requesting that Planting Plans be included in a planning application. To read more about Planting Plans, click here.
