Services

Whether your project is a planted bed or a full-scale design, in a small urban courtyard or a large country garden, we can work together to determine the right approach for your garden and budget.

Garden Design

Bespoke gardens designed to be unique to your needs and location. From enclosed courtyards, suburban blank canvases, to large sprawling country landscapes, I’ll work with you to create a space you’ll love.

If you have a space devoid of interest, a blank canvas, or a garden that need re-imagining this is the best option for you.

Planting Design

If you have a garden you love already, but the planting is leaving you uninspired, together we can develop what you have to make it feel like new. It’s a great option for gardens with great existing layouts and hard landscaping, where the addition of a new bed, or revitalised planting can transform a space, elevating it in a more straightforward process than a full garden design.

A planting plan delivers a scheme based on the consultation with the client influenced by their favourite plants, the style of the garden. Plants are selected based upon on soil type, level of sunlight,  and – of course – how much maintenance they want to put in. A planting plan will include:

  • Consultation to discuss what you want to change

  • Site and soil analysis

  • Planting plan, showing where plants are to be planted, retained plants, and a plant list

  • Maintenance advice

  • Sourcing and delivery

  • Planting

Please find an example of a planting plan here.
