Garden Design

DESIGNED FOR YOUR SPACE

Garden Design

We develop unique designs for your space, combining our creativity with your requirements and desires.

Our concept is visualised as a detailed working plan, showing the layout of hardscape and softscape specifications. This enables you to visualize the final layout to see how everything fits.

How it works

The Design Process

1 Consultation

After your initial contact, we’ll set up a call to discuss your goals and vision.

This is also a great chance to get to know us and learn about how we work. You can also send us photos or videos of the garden to get a feel for the existing space. 

Following this meeting, we’ll provide you with a fee proposal for the design

2 Site Survey & Creative Brief

If you decide to proceed, we’ll visit your site to take a full brief.

We aim to understand your aspirations and needs for the garden and get a feel for the existing space.

We will assess the site, and discuss with you how and by whom your garden will be used to get a clear picture of your needs.

With this information, we’ll begin crafting a design concept.

3 Design Concept

Using the brief and our site observations, we’ll develop a concept for the garden. 

We’ll present it to you with sketches and a mood board to help you visualize your new garden and its inspiration. At this stage, the focus is on the overall layout rather than specific details. 

After gathering your feedback, we’ll refine the layout and create a master plan detailing the key elements of your new garden.

4 Drawings & Planting Plans

Once the design is approved, we’ll produce detailed drawings and specifications.

This will enable landscape contractors to provide an accurate quote for the build and ensure the garden is created with the chosen materials.

 We’ll also create planting plans, specifying which plants will go where.

From here, we can leave you with the blueprint to carry out the design yourself or continue with us to the landscaping stage
