the design process

It all begins with understanding your garden, and your vision. Maybe your garden is on a steep slope, in full shade, damp and boggy, or dry and exposed. Maybe you want privacy from your neighbours, to make the most of a beautiful view, or to bring colour and interest to the garden. Whatever it is, I will lead you through a tried and tested process to design a balanced, beautiful, and practical garden for your space.

developing a mood board

imagine

Whether we collaborate by sharing images, or you leave it with me to carefully curate sources of inspiration, together we'll develop and refine a set of mood boards to suit your space.

design

I’ll bring the ideas we imagined together into a design which works for you and your garden. I’ll bring my design to life for you through concept drawings, which we can use to refine the design together.

plan

Once we're agreed on the key elements of the design, I’ll prepare a detailed scale drawing of your garden which will be the basis for costing and planning the build.

Setting out plants according to the design

Depending on your requirements, I can also prepare detailed designs for lighting and planting, and source and set out the plants according to the design.
