Garden Design
We create custom garden designs that balance aesthetics with functionality. Our process begins with detailed client consultations to understand lifestyle requirements and aesthetic preferences. Using traditional hand-drawn techniques combined with modern visualisation methods, we develop plans that optimise space usage while considering environmental factors. Each design incorporates seasonal planting schemes for year-round interest.
Bespoke Plans
Our tailored garden plans start with hand-drafted concept drawings. We use scale rulers and technical drawing tools to create precise layouts, then apply chalk pastels to illustrate planting colours and textures. Clients receive two revision rounds to refine details before finalising the design. This approach ensures complete clarity before implementation begins.
Planting Schemes
We develop planting plans focused on year-round visual appeal. Our approach combines evergreen structures with seasonal flowering plants, prioritising low-maintenance species suited to local conditions. Each scheme considers foliage texture contrasts and strategic repetition for dramatic effect. We provide detailed care instructions to maintain garden health throughout the seasons.
Site Consultations
Our consultation process includes three stages: initial site assessment, concept review, and final plan presentation. During follow-up visits, we address client feedback and make necessary adjustments. We also offer on-site guidance during implementation to ensure accurate translation of designs into physical gardens, working alongside preferred contractors.
Visualisation Drawings
We specialise in creating detailed visual representations using traditional media. Our chalk pastel illustrations show planting schemes in full colour, helping clients visualise final outcomes. These hand-crafted visuals often become decorative pieces displayed in clients' homes, demonstrating our commitment to both functional design and artistic presentation.
