FULL GARDEN DESIGN SERVICE
Our Full Garden Design service provides a comprehensive package that will transform you garden. It takes your project from initial ideas and creative vision through to detailed planning and implementation.
The process begins with a consultation to understand your aspirations, practical requirements and how you'd like to use your outdoor space. From there, we'll develop a tailored design that brings together the layout, materials, planting and features into a cohesive vision for your garden.
You'll receive a concept design package, including mood boards, material and planting suggestions, and scaled layout drawings illustrating the proposed design. This establishes the overall look and feel of the garden and provides an opportunity to review and refine the proposals before moving into the detailed design stage.
Once the concept has been agreed, we'll develop the technical information needed to bring the design to life. This may include detailed planting plans, hard landscaping and construction specifications, lighting plans and other relevant drawings, ensuring that each element is carefully considered and clearly communicated.
We can also support the practical delivery of your project, helping to source plants and materials, manage procurement, coordinate specialist contractors where required and oversee the landscaping and planting work. Our involvement can be tailored to the level of support you need, from design documentation through to a more hands-on role during implementation.
Once complete, ongoing garden maintenance can also be arranged to help your new garden establish and mature, ensuring it continues to provide beauty, enjoyment and a sense of calm for years to come.

FULL GARDEN DESIGN PROCESS
SITE VISIT, CONSULTATION & SURVEYING
The initial consultation meeting, preceded by a design questionnaire, is the time to discuss exciting ideas which will form the basis of the design brief and to discuss your budget. It is used to look at the possibilities and limitations of the site, considering the views, aspect, levels, soil structure and access. Following the meeting a garden brief will be drawn up based on our discussions along with a quote for any further design services desired and required.
Following this a site survey is needed to produce a scaled plan of your garden. If the site is complex a chartered surveyor may be required.
CONCEPT DESIGN & LAYOUT
The concept design are scaled drawings of the proposed layout for your garden, showing areas of hard landscaping, planting and features. This includes initial plans, mood boards, planting and material suggestions.
This is the first stage of the design where we propose to you several options of the new garden structure. The views and the perspective are offered to show a vision of what the garden will look like.
DESIGN SPECIFICATION & DETAIL
If the work requires specialists, they will sourced and be provided with a clear brief so they can cost accurately.
Once the design has been chosen, the specification layouts are drawn up to allow the team to create the garden. During this stage we work with you to specify every detail; the choice of the plants, the lights and other installations such as pergolas, garden furniture, pots and containers.
PLANTING PLAN & SUPPLY
We design a planting scheme to suit the particular growing conditions of your garden, to complement the design, provide interest throughout the year, and create the overall ambiance you desire.
A plant schedule detailing the quantity, botanical name and size of plants required will be prepared.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
We can manage the procurement and build of your project. Many build elements we can complete but for those that require specialist services we can obtain quotes from contractors and oversee their work to ensure it is delivered as planned.
We can source and procure plants from specialist nurseries and manage the positioning and planting of these as set out in the plan.
AFTERCARE
Gardens require a level of maintenance to ensure they evolve and improve with age. We offer an aftercare programme following the build of your garden ensuring your garden flourishes - the frequency of which is determined by your needs and those of the garden.
