Chris Wellbelove Discusses Earlier Collaboration in May's Pro Landscaper
Blakedown Landscapes’ Managing Director, Chris Wellbelove, features in the May edition of Pro Landscaper as part of the publication’s Ask The Experts panel.
The article explores how earlier collaboration between contractors, design teams and specialists can improve outcomes across landscape construction projects, particularly where complex or bespoke elements form part of the scheme.
Drawing on Blakedown’s experience across public realm and park projects, Chris discusses the importance of involving contractors early to help resolve buildability, programme and specialist coordination before works begin on site.
The feature also highlights how earlier engagement can help protect design intent, improve programme certainty and reduce risk during delivery.
