We create spaces and places by proposing real solutions to problems. We do this by good design that comes from understanding the client and understanding the site. We do this cost effectively it need not cost the earth to create it. As environmental consultants specialising in landscape architecture we offer a unique problem-solving approach to planning, assessment, design and management. Before the commission comes there is generally a design problem to be resolved or a planning argument to be won. This is less well understood by consultants than it should be. But in RLD it is a given. This simple truth has gathered for us a loyal body of clients in the private and public sectors throughout the UK and it has been recognised by a number of national and regional design awards. Creative flair, enthusiasm and intellectual rigour are used to realise the potential that each site and project has to make distinctive spaces that are functional yet full of character.
