SCOPE

Located just outside the historic village of Moira, Moira One is an extensive multiphase residential development. We were commissioned to provide a comprehensive landscape architecture service in preparation for a full planning application. In this, we worked extensively with the design team, architect, engineers and planning consultant.

 

This has involved:
  • survey of surrounding landscape features – existing mature trees and hedge plantings, etc
  • in collaboration with the Arboriculturist, specify tree protection measures
  • locate new specimen tree and woodland planting
  • provide screen planting to the countryside buffer; specify a native species mix where possible
  • provide a detailed planting plan for open space / communal areas and at ‘key’ junctions to provide year-round interest through scent, colour, texture and form

OUTCOME

Front lawns have been finished in turf for instant kerb appeal, while rear spaces have been seeded to produce hardwearing gardens. A balance of brick and estate railing fronted with formal hedges have been carefully chosen to ensure a high-quality landscape. Communal areas have been seeded out in species-rich grass / wildflower to provide an appealing view for residents and to increase biodiversity.
