Services
Garden Design
Our garden design service creates bespoke outdoor spaces tailored to your property and lifestyle. Combining horticultural expertise with creative design, we produce hand-drawn plans and perspective sketches to visualise your new garden. The process includes site analysis, concept development, and detailed implementation plans for both small urban gardens and large country estates.
Site Surveys
Comprehensive site surveys form the foundation of our design process. We document existing conditions including topography, light patterns, and existing vegetation while assessing the property's relationship with surrounding landscapes. This information informs design decisions that respect the site's natural characteristics and architectural context, ensuring functional and aesthetically pleasing outcomes.
Planting Plans
Custom planting plans create biodiverse, seasonal gardens that evolve throughout the year. We select appropriate plant species based on site conditions and client preferences, considering factors like growth patterns, colour schemes, and wildlife benefits. Detailed planting specifications ensure successful implementation and long-term garden vitality.
Design Implementation
Our in-house build service ensures design vision translates to reality. From initial groundwork to final planting, we manage all construction phases while maintaining design integrity. This comprehensive approach guarantees seamless execution of hard landscaping elements, water features, and planting schemes according to the approved plans.
Concept Drawings
Hand-drawn concept visuals help clients understand proposed garden designs. Using perspective sketches and colour plans, we demonstrate spatial relationships and design elements before implementation. These drawings serve as both communication tools and working documents for construction, ensuring client approval at each design stage.
