About our landscape architecture services
Our landscape architects start with you, your space and your way of life.
Landscapes are far from one-size-fits-all, whether it’s the current state or your end goal. That’s why we start every project by carefully observing and understanding your space. This includes the current slope, different viewpoints and how light moves throughout the day.
Then we factor in how you want to use your space. This is crucial. It allows us to design a landscape that’s both purposeful for your life and natural in terms of its setting. The result is a space that matures beautifully with sustainability woven into the design.
As a Warwickshire landscape architect, Mark Wright’s approach is both composed and considered. Every project is evaluated individually. Rather than imposing a certain style, our focus is helping you create your ideal space. You set out your vision, and we’ll choose the structure and materials to make it happen.
From small, sloped gardens to rural expanses, we create spaces that shine in their surroundings and feel like your own for years and decades to come.

Our landscape architect process
Every single landscape is unique. That’s why we’re focused on you and your space from the word ‘go’. There’s no set way to design something that works for you and matures with grace.
However, our process typically includes:
Site visit and consultation
The first step is seeing your space in person and understanding how you use it (or want to use it). We’ll assess how it sits within the wider landscape and how it could evolve. It’s all about discovering, observing and listening.
Concept design
Using the information we’ve gathered, we’ll deliver an initial concept to guide the way for your new landscape. Expect layout ideas, structural details and major features with a clear vision.
Detailed design and plans
Once we’ve agreed on the concept, it’s time to develop a full design with detailed plans. Think construction details, levels, material palettes, lighting ideas and even planting plans.
Landscaping and build
Unlike many landscape architecture firms, Umber can take your project from design to completion. You’ll benefit from continuity and clarity at every stage, with no risk of miscommunication.
Umber isn’t a faceless brand. Far from it. Every project is led by Mark Wright, a local landscape architect with RHS qualifications and a First-Class Honours degree in Design.
Born and bred in Warwickshire, Mark has a passion for placemaking and nature. He has the creative vision to bring ideas to life through meticulous design. But crucially, he also knows how to construct landscapes that stand the test of time.
That’s all backed by a wealth of practical experience in forestry, drystone walling and oak framing. That means every architectural design is grounded in real-world use and practical materials. Simply put, you get more than landscapes that look good. Your space will feel right and function well for decades.
Above all, Mark believes that care and collaboration are central to architectural landscape design. That extends from your needs to the land itself. Working closely with you from the first enquiry to the final details, he can ensure your design is bespoke, well balanced and quietly elegant.
With Mark at the helm, you’ll get a space that supports your day-to-day needs, fits it its natural setting and grows more meaningful with every season

Warwickshire landscape architect FAQs
-
A landscape architect designs outdoor spaces that balance beauty, function and long-term sustainability. This can include garden layouts, terraces, planting schemes, levels, pathways, drainage and structural features. At Umber Garden Design, we begin by understanding your land, lifestyle and how you want to use your space, then create a design that feels natural within its surroundings.
-
If you’re planning significant changes to your garden or outdoor space, a landscape architect can ensure everything works together. Professional design helps solve challenges such as slopes, drainage, awkward layouts and material choices. It also ensures your garden matures well over time rather than needing constant reworking.
-
Yes. Our landscape architecture services cover everything from compact town gardens to large countryside properties across Warwickshire. Each project is approached individually, with the design responding to the scale, setting and character of the land.

This means your project can move seamlessly from concept design through to construction without the risk of miscommunication.

Timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. The design phase typically takes several weeks, while the build stage depends on factors such as access, weather and materials. After an initial consultation, we can give you a clearer timeframe tailored to your project.

-
While we’re based in Warwickshire and complete many projects locally, we also work across the surrounding counties. Being local gives us a strong understanding of the landscape, soils and architectural character of the region.

Costs vary depending on the scale of the garden and the level of detail required in the design. Smaller design projects may involve concept plans, while larger properties may require full masterplans, planting designs and construction drawings. After discussing your project, we can provide a tailored estimate.
