Garden Design
The design process is a meticulous journey that blends creativity with practicality. Constant collaboration between the designer and customer is key to realising a garden that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional for the whole family.
“The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature” - Alfred Austin
Design Process
-
1. Consultation
The consultation is the first step in creating a garden tailored to your vision. We discuss your preferences, lifestyle and requirements, assess site conditions like sunlight, soil, and existing fauna. This provides a customised design proposal with the services available and a fee breakdown.
-
2. Concept draft and mood board
Combining imagination with expertise, we use the initial consultation to create two initial layout sketches and a mood board showcasing colours, textures, and materials. A detailed follow-up meeting allows your feedback and refinements before progressing to the final, detailed concept design.
-
3. Final concept design
After refining draft ideas with you and making any necessary changes, we create a fully annotated 2D final concept plan. We firstly show you the final layout, which you have the opportunity to confirm, before it is rendered with colour and detail, helping to bring your dream garden to life.
-
4. Technical design
Technical design is the backbone of functional, beautiful outdoor spaces. Using hand-drawn techniques alongside modern technology, we create precise, detailed plans that bring concepts to life and provide landscapers with a clear blueprint for efficient, sustainable implementation.
-
5. Planting and plant schedule
We can create planting plans that ensure a thriving garden year-round, placing each plant according to its needs and optimal conditions. A detailed care schedule guides seasonal maintenance and we can also assist with an additional service of sourcing, ordering and planting plants if required.
-
6. Extras and site inspections
Extra services available include: lighting plans, irrigation plans and elevation plans. Throughout the design, we also offer the service of site inspections, ranging from weekly visits to a final sign-off; reviewing hardscape progress and ensuring the garden is built according to the design.
