Design Process

We offer a complete garden and landscape design service, alongside dedicated planting design consultancy. From small urban courtyards to large country estates, our approach is always bespoke: shaped around the unique character of each place and the people who will live in it.

We work closely with architects, interior designers, craftspeople and trusted contractors to ensure a thoughtful and seamless experience from the very first sketch to the final planting.

Consultation

Every project begins with a consultation and site visit — a chance to walk the space together and begin to understand its character.

We’ll discuss your vision and needs, and take the time to observe the land, how it sits within its setting, and where the possibilities lie.

Following this meeting, we share a design proposal with a tailored brief, fee structure, outline of our process, and a suggested timeline.

Concept Design

Once your brief is confirmed, we begin the creative process.

A topographical survey is carried out to capture the essential details of the land (contours, trees, structures, and services) which becomes the base of our design work.

Every Concept Design is completely bespoke. We present mood boards and design proposals, including plan drawings and 3D visuals, helping you begin to visualise the atmosphere, tone and rhythm of your future garden.

Developed Design

The concept evolves into a more detailed masterplan, shaped by your feedback.

Together, we refine layouts and materials, explore lighting, structures and furniture, and develop a more complete picture of the garden’s look and feel.

At this stage, aesthetic choices are settled, ready to move into technical design.

Technical Design

This is where the design is translated into detail.

We prepare a full technical drawing package for tender and construction - setting out every measurement, level, and specification to ensure the garden can be built with clarity and precision.

We also coordinate drawings with lighting designers, engineers or other consultants as needed. A thoughtful, thorough phase - essential to delivering a high-quality result.

Planting Design

Planting is central to everything we do - and it begins early in the design process, developing alongside the rest of the layout.

We work closely with you on each part of the planting palette: from overall mood and colour to detailed combinations and structure. Finalised planting plans are drawn up showing every species, quantity and size - ready for costing, sourcing and setting out.

We source each plant with care and are always present on site for the final set-out and planting.

Tender, Construction & After-care

We prepare a full tender package and share it with a selection of experienced landscape contractors...

... Teams we trust and who share our commitment to detail and craftsmanship. Once quotes are returned, we review and guide you through the appointment process.

During construction, we remain closely involved - making regular site visits to ensure the design is followed precisely, solve any challenges, and support good communication between all parties.

After completion, we offer optional aftercare visits to ensure the planting establishes well and continues to thrive. It’s always a pleasure to return and see the garden settle into place.
