The Landscape Practice Group
The Landscape Practice Group (LPG) provides landscape, architectural and urban design services. We work on projects on council-owned land and also work in partnership with external clients such as schools, housing associations and private developers.
Occasionally the LPG takes on commissions from other clients, where it is in the interests of the council to do so.
The LPG employs professional Landscape Architects and Clerk of Works, and is a registered practice with the Landscape Institute.
