Our process
Having your garden designed is an exciting and rewarding project for homeowners. As designers we can get the most out of your space and ensure the smooth running of the project from concept to completion. The following outlines the process for a typical project.
consultation and site understanding
A clear sense of direction from day one
We start with a friendly on-site meeting to understand your garden, how you use it and what you want it to become. We look at soil, aspect, microclimate and existing features so the design is grounded in the reality of your space. You’ll come away with a clearer picture of what is possible and how we can shape the garden around your lifestyle.
concept design
A confident visual starting point
We develop an initial concept that captures the feel, flow and character of your future garden. This includes layout ideas, planting themes and visual references. It’s a simple, easy to understand stage that helps you see the potential of your space before any detailed decisions are made. We can explore options and choose the direction that feels right.
detailing and masterplan
a clear build-ready plan
Once the concept is agreed we refine it into a detailed masterplan with materials, features, levels and practical details. This gives contractors everything they need to quote accurately and build with confidence. You get a fully resolved design that balances beauty, practicality and long term resilience.
planting design
a garden that thrives in your growing conditions
We create a planting plan tailored to your site conditions and the atmosphere you want to achieve. Every plant is chosen for its ecological value, seasonal interest and long term performance. You receive a clear easy to follow plan showing species, quantity and spacing, so the garden establishes well and matures beautifully.
implementation and aftercare
a smooth build and a garden that grows with confidence
We work closely with contractors during the build to ensure the design is delivered exactly as intended. When it’s time to plant we offer designer-led installation so every plant is placed with purpose. Aftercare visits help your new garden to settle in, giving you reassurance during the important first year of growth.
