Services
Garden Design
We create bespoke garden designs tailored to individual lifestyles and budgets. Our process begins with a comprehensive site analysis and client consultation to understand specific requirements. With expertise in challenging layouts and clay soil management, we deliver award-winning schemes that combine aesthetics with functionality.
Landscape Design
Our landscape design service covers all elements from hard landscaping to planting schemes. We produce detailed construction plans and setting-out drawings to ensure precise implementation. Specialising in both contemporary and traditional styles, we create cohesive designs that enhance property value and usability.
Planting Plans
Expert planting schemes using carefully selected plant combinations ensure year-round interest. We provide detailed planting plans with quantities and specifications, or offer a full planting service sourcing quality plants from trusted nurseries. Our designs consider growth patterns and maintenance requirements.
Garden Renovation
We revitalise tired gardens by updating layouts and planting schemes while preserving valuable existing features. Our renovation service assesses structural elements and soil conditions to create modern, functional spaces that align with current owner needs and lifestyle requirements.
Consultation Services
Two-hour on-site consultations provide tailored design solutions and practical advice. We offer expert guidance on plant selection, layout improvements, and maintenance strategies to help clients make the most of their outdoor spaces without full design plans.
