Our Services
DETAIL LANDSCAPE DESIGN AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR TENDER AND CONSTRUCTION
CSR provides detail design services for costing, tender documents and construction of landscape projects, and will supervise construction on behalf of clients to ensure the highest quality of finish.
LANDSCAPE CONSTRAINTS, FEASIBILITY AND SITE SELECTION STUdIES
CSR carries out landscape constraints studies to inform site/route selection and feasibility assessments. Landscape and visual impacts of development are a common reason for refusal of planning permission and CSR can analyse the site/s, the context and relevant policy to inform the decision on location of development.
CSR also produces design briefs to ensure that potential landscape and visual (and other) impacts are avoided in the design process, thus improving the prospect of planning permission.

ABORICULTURE – TREE SURVEYS AND TREE RISK ASSESSMENT
CSR’s qualified arborist undertakes pre-planning Tree Surveys to BS5837:2012 on behalf of our clients, as part of the initial stages of project planning. The tree survey will identify and assess all trees present on the site in terms of their relative merit for retention or removal, current health / projected lifespan, and associated root protection areas that may form a constraint to construction. This information then informs the masterplanning and design stages of the proposed development project, and ultimately will accompany the final planning application, helping to set out a clear rationale and justification for the proposed development in terms of existing trees.
