A Partnership in Design

Our collaborative garden design process is a journey we take together, transforming your initial vision into a thoughtful, detailed, and practical plan for your forever garden.

A truly exceptional garden is born from a deep understanding of your vision, your lifestyle, and the unique character of your property. Our design process is intentionally collaborative and transparent, designed to empower you with knowledge and confidence at every stage. We don't just present a plan; we build it with you, ensuring the final design is a perfect reflection of you.

Our Four-Phase Design Journey

Phase 1: The Initial Consultation & Vision Session

Our journey begins not with measuring, but with listening. During our on-site consultation, we’ll explore your ideas and aspirations. We use mood boards and style examples to discuss everything from material palettes to planting philosophies. This is a creative dialogue where we also establish a comfortable budget range, ensuring our subsequent design work is perfectly aligned with your expectations.

Phase 2: The Site Survey & Analysis

Once we have a shared vision, we conduct a meticulous site survey. This is a technical process where we document every detail: soil conditions, sun exposure, land elevations, and existing features. This deep analysis provides the essential, evidence-based data that informs a truly intelligent and sustainable garden design.

Phase 3: The Master Plan & Visualisation

This is where the vision comes to life. We develop the conceptual draft into a detailed master plan, often presented using sophisticated 2D and 3D visuals. These tools are invaluable, allowing you to see exactly how sunlight will move through the space and how the planting will mature over the seasons. It gives you complete confidence in every decision before any ground is broken.

Phase 4: The Investment Proposal & Build Schedule

With the master plan approved, we present a clear and detailed investment proposal for the construction phase. Every cost is transparently outlined. Once you are perfectly happy, we agree on a detailed work schedule, and our skilled craftsmen begin the exciting process of bringing our shared vision to life.

An Investment in a Perfect Plan

Our standalone design services ensure you have a professional, actionable master plan for your garden. Design fees typically range from £500 to £5000, reflecting the scale of your property and the complexity of the design. This investment provides the essential blueprint for a garden built with precision, foresight, and no costly surprises.
