PROCESS

The studio offers a flexible range of design packages, from full garden design services to planting design, and one-off consultations. Each package is tailored to suit the scale of the project and the client’s needs, ensuring a bespoke approach every time.

Studio Services

  • Full Garden Design Package

    Full Garden Design

    Our complete design service guides you through every stage of the process - from site analysis and concept design to master layout plans, construction specifications, planting design, sourcing, and installation. We stay closely involved throughout, working alongside contractors and overseeing the build so that the design is realised as intended, right through to the final planting.

  • A lush garden with various green plants, bushes, and trees, illuminated by small yellow lights, featuring a winding gravel path.

    Planting Design

    Our planting design package includes a tailored plant list and visuals. We manage the sourcing, supply, and installation of plants, and can also provide maintenance plans and follow-up visits to ensure the long-term success of your garden.

  • A pathway in a garden with square concrete stepping stones surrounded by small pebbles, with flowering plants and ornamental grasses along the edges.

    Garden Consultation

    If you’re seeking guidance rather than a full design, we provide individual consultations - either in person or online. These sessions are tailored to your garden and can cover design ideas, planting advice, or practical solutions, giving you the confidence to take your project forward.

1. Initial Consultation

Our first meeting is an opportunity to explore your requirements, understand the character of your home and garden, and discuss your needs and aspirations for the garden. Following this, you’ll receive a written proposal with initial ideas and a detailed breakdown of design fees.

2. Site Survey

A detailed survey is carried out to record the garden’s key features - including boundaries, levels, trees, and existing structures. Alongside this, we carefully assess the character of the site: its light, soil, views, and surrounding context. This helps us understand both the opportunities and challenges, creating a strong foundation for the design.

3. Concept Design

We present proposed layouts and key planting ideas, supported by mood boards and visuals. This stage is collaborative, allowing for discussion and feedback before a lead design is chosen.

5. Technical Design

A written construction specification is produced alongside lighting and irrigation plans, plus detailed technical drawings as required. These allow contractors to provide accurate quotations.

6. Tender & Contractor Selection

We circulate drawings and specifications to trusted landscape contractors who we regularly work alongside, arranging meetings to ensure everyone is aligned before quotations are provided.

8. Planting

A tailored planting plan is created, supported by visuals and plant palettes. An itemised plant list is prepared, followed by sourcing and supply. Maintenance guidance and a plant library are provided to help you care for your new garden.

4. Masterplan

The agreed concept is developed into a detailed masterplan, showing layout, materials, and outline planting, alongside 3D renders and elevations where required. This forms the blueprint for your new garden.

7. Construction

We recommend ongoing involvement during the build to ensure the design is delivered to the highest standard. Regular site visits and communication with contractors and clients allow us to oversee progress and refine details, ensuring the finished garden meets expectations.
