Landscape Architecture

KD Planning & Design Ltd. (KDP), provides landscape design services for both the public and private sectors. We work closely with the project team at the earliest stages to provide our clients with an integrated and efficient project delivery.

We believe that innovative landscape design can transform a city or define an outdoor space. A solid and appropriate landscape treatment has become more important in new developments or in the renovation of existing sites.

Our team has a broad base of experience and skill which will be applied to your project, regardless of the size or scope. We design with form, function and sustainability in mind, and will meet your requirements for budget, schedule and aesthetics.

Approach

To accomplish this, we begin by considering the needs of our clients and coordinate seamlessly with other consultants internally and externally to create a cohesive design for every project.
