Understand the place.
We review the site, its relationship to the house, existing features and how you would like to use the garden.
Our process
From the first walk
to the growing garden.
A garden project needs a clear design process and room for a practical conversation. We work through the site, the brief and the choices together.
Develop the layout.
Paths, places to sit, planting areas and practical requirements form the first design direction.
Work through the detail.
Planting, materials and the information needed for the agreed scope are developed together.
Coordinate the work.
We work with the client and the people responsible for construction and planting at the agreed stages.
Plan for the garden ahead.
We discuss care priorities and review arrangements so the garden can be looked after as it develops.
Before a project begins.
Can a garden be built in stages?
Yes. We can plan the garden in stages and identify which work needs to happen first.
Do I need to know the plants I want?
No. Tell us what you enjoy about gardens and how you want to use yours. Plant choices develop with the site and the design.
Can existing trees or materials stay?
We review what is already there and discuss what can be retained within the project.
What happens after the design?
Construction, planting, coordination and aftercare responsibilities are agreed as part of the project scope.

want to live outside.
You may have a new direction in mind, or simply want a better place to sit. Start with the way you would like to use the garden.
