Services
Garden Design
We create custom garden designs tailored to individual properties and client preferences. Our process combines artistic vision with technical precision, using 3D software to develop functional, aesthetically pleasing outdoor spaces. Each design considers environmental factors, client lifestyle needs, and long-term sustainability.
3D Garden Visualisation
Our 3D CAD visualisation service brings garden designs to life before implementation. This technology helps clients understand spatial relationships and design details through animated walkthroughs and perspective sketches. It ensures clear communication between designers and clients throughout the planning process.
Planting Design
We develop comprehensive planting schemes that balance aesthetics with ecological considerations. Our designs incorporate seasonal interest, wildlife habitats, and appropriate plant selection based on soil conditions and microclimates. We provide detailed plant lists and can assist with nursery visits and planting days.
Garden Consultation
Initial consultations involve on-site discussions to understand client requirements and property characteristics. We assess existing features, take soil samples, and identify opportunities for improvement. This forms the basis for creating a tailored design brief that aligns with client expectations and budget.
Garden Surveys
We conduct detailed garden surveys to inform the design process, including topographical assessments and dimensional measurements. For complex sites, we recommend professional land surveys while handling smaller projects directly. Our analysis considers existing structures, tree positions, and drainage patterns to create practical, buildable designs.

Report
Judi came for a consultation initially and listen to what I wanted. She very quickly understood me, then spent some time studying our courtyard and made suggestions that were spot on. We spent time sharing ideas on Pinterest and then she drew up a list of plants with pictures from which I chose my favourites.
