Planting Design

Beautiful, resilient planting schemes tailored to your garden and its conditions, whether for a new garden or for a refresh of an existing one

Expert advice to help you understand your garden, solve specific challenges and unlock the full potential of your outdoor space

Garden Consultation

• Discover: Together we'll explore your ideas, aspirations and practical requirements to understand how you want to live in your garden, developing a clear design brief that forms the foundation of the project

• Analyse: Every garden is unique. Careful site analysis helps us understand the opportunities and constraints of your space, from levels and drainage to soil conditions and aspect, ensuring every design is grounded in the realities of the site

• Design: Thoughtfully considered designs, mood boards and drawings bring your vision to life while providing the information needed to turn ideas into a beautifully crafted garden. Technical drawings are produced where required to support construction

• Build: A successful garden relies on careful execution. We can help you engage the right contractor for your project and work closely with trusted landscapers to ensure the finished garden remains true to the original design

• Plant: See next panel

• Understand: Every planting scheme begins by understanding your garden. We assess the aspect, soil conditions and surrounding environment to ensure every plant is selected for the place where it will flourish

• Design: A detailed planting plan and plant list bring the scheme to life, allowing you to visualise how the planting will develop while providing everything needed for successful implementation

• Source: Plants are carefully sourced from trusted specialist nurseries, ensuring healthy, high-quality specimens that establish well and provide long-term success

• Plant: We carefully prepare the planting areas and position every plant according to the agreed design, giving each plant the best possible start and ensuring the finished scheme reflects the original vision

• Aftercare: An easy-to-follow aftercare guide provides practical advice on watering, feeding, pruning and ongoing maintenance, helping your planting establish and thrive for years to come

• Garden walkthrough: We'll explore your garden together, discussing your ideas, answering your questions and identifying opportunities for improvement. Whether you're looking for advice on planting, maintenance, layout or simply where to begin, the consultation is tailored to your needs

• Consultation report: Following the consultation, a written report can be provided, summarising the discussion along with practical recommendations to help you move forward with confidence
