The process
Five steps to a new garden
Every project is different, but most follow this path from first conversation to planting day.
Consultation
We visit, walk the garden with you and talk about how you want to use it.
Survey
A measured survey records levels, boundaries, trees, soil and aspect.
Concept
Sketch layouts and mood images explore ideas before anything is fixed.
Design
A detailed plan, drawings and planting plan, costed and ready to build.
Build & plant
We oversee the landscapers and set out every plant ourselves.
Questions
About our services
How does the garden design process work?
It starts with a consultation visit. We then produce a measured survey, a concept design for discussion, a final layout and a detailed planting plan. We can also manage the build with trusted landscapers and set out the planting ourselves.
How long does it take to design a garden?
A small garden can be designed in a few weeks. Larger gardens usually take two to three months from survey to final planting plan, depending on how quickly decisions are made.
Do you build the gardens you design?
We work with a small group of trusted landscape contractors who build our designs, and we oversee the work on site. We set out and place every plant ourselves.
Can you just help with planting?
Yes. Many of our projects are planting-only: new borders, replanting a tired garden or a seasonal planting plan for an existing layout.
