Garden & Landscape Design
Creating a truly special garden is an immersive and exciting journey, one we look forward to guiding you through at every stage. We design gardens that are atmospheric, elegant, and unique to each client and site, combining exceptional attention to detail, expert craftsmanship, and inspired planting.
Our Design Process
Design Brief & Consultation
We begin with an initial meeting to understand your aspirations, the site’s sense of place and its inherent character, along with the scale and scope of the project. These early insights allow us to shape a detailed brief that forms the foundation of your design.
Site Survey & Analysis
We carry out a comprehensive site survey and analysis, taking into account existing topography, buidlings, sight lines, surrounding context, features, trees and plants. We also undertake a full photographic survey. This information allows us to develop an accurate base plan and clear understanding of the site. For larger of more complex projects, we commission a full topographic survey.
Concept Design
With the survey complete, we begin developing the creative direction for your design – shaping the style, atmosphere, and functionality of your future garden. Once initial concepts are refined, we produce a concept masterplan supported by a 3D model and visualisation so you can fully experience the proposed design.
Detailed Design
Once the concept deisgn is agreed, we create a fully detailed masterplan, specifying soft and hard landscaping elements including structural planting, materials, and key features. The finalised masterplan serves as the key reference for the construction phase of your project, whilst a final 3D visualisation or walkthrough provides you with a clear vision of the finalised design.
Planting Design
Planting is central to our work. Once the detailed design is complete, we can produce full planting plans, specifications, and schedules. Our planting design expertise is valued by clients whether as a standalone service or as part of a full garden design. As designers with extensive horticultural and planting knowledge, we always love personally planting the schemes we design.
Project Implementation
We offer comprehensive project management, coordinating contractors and overseeing every stage of the build to ensure the highest standards. Alternatively, with our in-house landscape implementation team, we can manage your project seamlessly from design through to completion.
