Services
Garden Design
We create bespoke garden designs tailored to individual client requirements, considering site-specific conditions and aesthetic preferences. Our approach combines creative vision with practical functionality, ensuring each space meets both visual and usability goals. With over 30 years' experience, we deliver designs that evolve successfully over time.
Planting Plans
Our planting plans utilise extensive horticultural knowledge to select species suited to local conditions. We consider soil type, aspect, and mature plant size to ensure long-term success. This expertise, developed through years working with Hopleys Plants, guarantees schemes that thrive while maintaining visual appeal throughout the seasons.
Site Surveys
We conduct detailed site surveys to understand existing garden conditions, including topography and environmental factors. This information forms the foundation for effective design solutions. Our surveys identify opportunities and constraints to maximise each garden's potential during the design process.
Landscaping
We provide guidance through the construction phase, ensuring design integrity is maintained. Our involvement includes recommending trusted landscapers and offering site visit support. This hands-on approach guarantees the final implementation matches the original design vision.
Consultation
Flexible consultation services offer tailored guidance at any project stage. From initial concept discussions to specific planting advice, we provide expert input that clients can implement at their own pace. This service supports DIY approaches while maintaining professional standards.
