Working on an active construction site
The main challenge was delivering landscape works while construction activity continued around the site. Access, ground readiness and the sequence of other trades could affect when individual gardens and communal areas became available.
Mid Cornwall Landscaping worked with the site team and other contractors to address issues as they arose and keep the package moving. This coordination helped completed gardens fall in line with sales handovers rather than becoming a late-stage obstacle.
Delivering the approved landscape scheme
The team worked from the approved landscape architect's drawings and the site specification. Ground preparation, turfing, trees, shrubs and seeded areas were delivered as plots and shared spaces became ready.
Using a defined planting schedule and specification helped maintain consistency across the development. It also gave the site team a clear basis for checking completed areas and resolving site-specific questions.
Landscape and environmental value
Trees, shrubs, grass and wildflower areas form part of the development's wider landscape. Alongside the immediate visual finish, appropriate planting helps create greener streets, defined garden spaces and habitat value as the scheme establishes.
For development projects, these environmental requirements need to remain connected to the approved drawings and specification. Correct soil preparation, suitable plant selection and coordinated installation all affect whether the intended landscape establishes successfully.
Results
The landscaping was completed in step with the development programme, allowing finished gardens to align with sales handovers. The completed scheme now combines private gardens, planted areas, grass and wider green spaces across the development.
The wider Tregenna Lea development has received NHBC Pride in the Job recognition. Client-provided project information records a Quality Award in 2026 and a Seal of Excellence and Regional Award in 2025. The development team was also a finalist for further regional recognition in 2026, with the result expected later in October.
The NHBC recognition relates to the wider development and project team.
Mid Cornwall Landscaping provides a 12-month defects period for its commercial landscape work. Ongoing maintenance is not included as standard, although occasional requirements such as grass cutting to stock plots can be arranged when needed.
