Consultation Visit
Our consultation visits provide tailored advice to address garden challenges and clarify your vision. We discuss your requirements, sketch ideas during the visit, and offer guidance to help you proceed confidently. This service suits those seeking expert input at any project stage.
Design Concept Plan
We create custom design concept plans following detailed discussions about your needs and site survey. These plans establish the garden's layout, functionality, and aesthetic direction while allowing flexibility for adjustments. This stage ensures your vision aligns with practical considerations.
Design Planting Plan
Our planting plans specify plant positions, accompanied by detailed lists of species, quantities, and care requirements. We select plants suited to local conditions, creating year-round interest and ecological harmony. This service works for complete gardens or individual borders.
Construction Oversight
We monitor construction progress, recommend experienced contractors, and ensure designs translate accurately into physical spaces. Our oversight guarantees quality standards while accommodating any adjustments during implementation. Clients may use our recommended teams or their preferred contractors.
After Care
Post-completion visits provide tailored advice on garden management, seasonal planting, and plant care. We offer mentoring for new gardeners and can perform specialist tasks like pruning. This service ensures your garden thrives long after installation.
