Garden design to inspire outdoor living
Creating your garden
My ambition is to create your dream garden, your sanctuary from the outside world. As a highly trained designer, I have the skills to bring those dreams to life. Every design is crafted to be unique to the client and location. From planting plans to complete garden redesigns, I am here to help. Read more about the garden design process here.
Consultation
The key to great design is preparation. In detailed discussion, together we will discover what you want from your garden, what function it must perform, how you want it to look. From this starting point I can develop garden design ideas into a concept for your outdoor space. To book a consultation, visit the Contact page or click here.
Advice
A full redesign might not be required for all gardens. You might want some advice on how best to set out a garden, what materials should be used, or perhaps need help with planting. Please get in touch to have a chat about how I can help.
What Garden Design Can Do For You
Health
The impact of gardens on health and wellbeing are well documented. There is not a more convenient and relaxing environment to be in than your own garden sanctuary. If you have green fingers, ‘the benefits of gardening were similar to the difference in health between the wealthiest and the poorest people in the country’ (2022 UKRI).
Environment
The positive environmental impact of a well-designed space is something all designers strive for. The introduction of plants to a space not only increases biodiversity, building habitats and food for wildlife, but also removes and slows water from entering the drainage system through its uptake into root systems.
Return on investment
The rewards of a well designed garden are far-reaching. There is a likely return on investment for the owner, with designed gardens increasing property value by an average of 10%. This is not just a home improvement you benefit from now, it’s an investment for the future.
