Services

  • Garden and Landscape Design

    For those looking to transform their outdoor spaces and invest in a long-term solution, I offer a complete design service. I’ll support you throughout the entire process, creating elegant designs that elevate your space. I ensure quality by providing detailed technical drawings and managing a thorough tendering process with reputable contractors. Once the tender is complete, I oversee the build and handle the planting installation, supplying you with goods at preferential rates, to minimise stress and maximise results and value for money.

    At the end of the installation you will get a personalised care plan for your plants. Other plant establishment services are available based on your requirments.

    Whether it's a standalone landscaping project or working alongside architects on a larger build, I’ll guide you every step of the way.

  • Planting Design and Install

    If you're happy with your garden's layout, but want to refresh the plants within it, I provide a personalised planting design and installation, service. Here I will create new planting that's both beautiful to you and ecologically suited to your site.

    Once the installation is in, you will get a care guide for your space. Other plant establishment services are available based on your requirements.

  • Consultation

    My one-off garden consultation service - called The Garden Guide - provides expert, personalised advice to help you transform your outdoor space.

    From plant recommendations to solving design challenges, I offer tailored solutions to avoid costly mistakes and guide you toward a beautiful garden.

    The service includes a pre-meeting questionnaire, a consultation, and a follow-up report with advice, plant and furniture suggestions, and a list of recommended suppliers. It's designed to give you confidence and clarity in making the most of your garden for you to then go on to design and install yourselves.

FAQS

  • It all depends on what you want. Fees for design work (such as drawings, sourcing and tendering) are estimated on an hourly rate after an initial site visit. They depend on your requirements, the complexity of the site and size of commission - however usually make up a small % of the overall project.

    Project overseeing fees are charged as a fixed % of the installation cost. For this I oversee the build and provide clients with items at preferential prices.

  • Yes, of course. My services are bespoke to your needs, so if you would like to evolve or renovate part of your space that is an option.
