Services
Garden Design
Our garden design process begins with a detailed questionnaire and on-site consultation to understand your vision. We create scaled 2D plans with full-colour 3D perspectives showing multiple garden views. The master plan includes hard landscaping elements like paths and patios alongside soft landscaping features, with optional technical specifications available.
Landscaping
We coordinate trusted landscaping professionals to implement our designs with precision. Our service includes site supervision throughout construction, ensuring quality standards while explaining each stage. We introduce clients to reliable tradespeople for hardscaping elements like patios, walls, and water features.
Planting Plans
Our planting plans focus on year-round colour and biodiversity benefits. We design schemes for entire gardens or individual borders using climate-resilient plants. The service includes sourcing specialist plants and providing maintenance advice to ensure long-term success of your garden's ecosystem.
Garden Consultation
Initial consultations include on-site discussions about your garden's potential and budget considerations. We present portfolio examples and style boards to inspire your vision. This collaborative process helps establish your requirements before developing detailed design proposals tailored to your space.
Aftercare Support
We provide comprehensive aftercare guidance including a maintenance leaflet and complimentary six-month follow-up visit. Our support covers plant care advice, seasonal maintenance tips, and troubleshooting any issues that arise after garden completion to ensure lasting satisfaction.
