consultation 

Your bespoke design process begins with an initial consultation to discuss your ideas, budget and really drill down to what inspirations you have for your garden. This is mostly you talking and me listening.

This detailed fact finding meeting will pave the way for me to plan your outdoor space so that it meets its full potential. In short I ensure it will suit you, the building, the surroundings and your intended use. I will complete your design with beautiful naturalistic planting, demonstrating my passion for creating sustainable, biodiverse gardens.

Your personal design pack will include elements of the following:

design

Dedicated Pinterest board // Annotated colour rendered plan view of the design to scale // Colour rendered sketches from different perspectives // Concept images presentation page // Suggested planting theme // Delivered electronically or presented in person.

construction

Introduction to 'tried and tested' experienced tradespeople // Quote collation // Liaising with landscaper and tradespeople before and during the build, including measuring and setting out // Troubleshooting advice throughout the build // Working alongside landscapers to coordinate the smooth build of the design.

planting

It is proven that gardens planted to work with their natural environment fare much better in the long run, which is why I use plants sourced for the correct aspect and soil conditions for each garden.

Save on plant costs through my trade relationships // Research suitable plants // Preparation of initial plant list // Production of detailed list of plants including size, quantity, supplier and planting location of each plant // Planting plan // Source and order plants from specialist trade suppliers // Setting out of plants // Planting // Visits to check on progress of plants one week and one month later.

brainstorming

A one hour brainstorming session held in your garden // Notes and sketches are provided via email following the session // Available to advise on current and future planting/latest outdoor trends/troubleshooting advice/general design.

styling

I also offer a styling service, which includes elements such as: Installing and updating window boxes // Garden preparation for an event // Creating a wow factor for your old space.
