Structure

The structure should be simple but stylish and have strong ‘bones’.


Garden Design

In the end, it is the relationship between the design and so called ‘bone structure’ together with good planting which makes a successful garden.

The Journey

We closely supervise all aspects of the design, construction, planting and styling of the garden working closely with our clients.

Analysis.

We conduct a detailed site analysis and draw up the design brief together with our client.

Master Plan.

We then prepare a master sketch plan supported by CGI renders, perspectives and mood boards.

Drawings.

Once approved, the design is developed into a package of working drawings and specifications.

Landscaping.

Quotes are then sought for the hard and soft landscaping from one of a small selection of professional landscape contractors.

Planting Plan.

A planting plan and full planting list is also prepared for client approval.

Construction.

We closely supervise all aspects of the construction, planting and styling of the garden on behalf of our clients.

Planting.

Plants are sourced from specialist nurseries and growers to ensure strong healthy specimens.

Styling.

We can also source and supply pots, planters, furniture, sculpture and other styling elements.
