Garden design
My comprehensive garden design service covers all aspects of your outdoor space, from hard landscaping and lighting to bespoke planting schemes. Whether you need a complete garden redesign or specific elements tailored to your needs, I work closely with you to bring your vision to life. Each design is custom-made, ensuring it complements your lifestyle and the unique characteristics of your garden. I offer a full consultation to discuss your preferences, budget, and functionality, providing a truly personalized experience. Serving St Neots, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, and Hertfordshire, I create stunning, practical gardens for you to enjoy year-round.
Initial Consultation
I will meet with the clients to discuss their vision, preferences, and budget. Then I will produce a written client brief detailing creative and practical elements raised in the consultation.
Site survey and analysis
I will conduct a site analysis to assess existing conditions, including soil quality, drainage, sunlight exposure, and existing vegetation.
Concept Development
This is to develop preliminary design concepts based on the client's input and site analysis. After this, the client is Presented with concept sketches, mood boards, and material samples for review and feedback. The design concepts are then revised based on the client feedback until a final concept is approved.
Detailed Design Development
I’ll Prepare detailed garden layout plans, including hardscape elements (patios, walkways, retaining walls), planting beds, and outdoor structures (pergolas, gazebos etc).
Specified plant selections will be based on site conditions, climate, and client preferences.
I will then provide detailed specifications for materials, finishes, and construction methods.
If needed, I can Develop lighting and irrigation plans.
Construction Documentation
To guide contractors during the implementation phase, construction drawings and specifications will be prepared, which will Include detailed measurements, construction details, and planting plans.
Quality Assurance
Site visits, to be arranged with the client, will be conducted to ensure that construction is proceeding according to the design intent.
Project Completion
Finally, I shall conduct a final walkthrough with the client to ensure their satisfaction with the completed garden. During the walkthrough the client will be provided with guidance on maintenance practices and ongoing care for the landscape. I will then deliver the final project documentation, including drawings and plant care instructions.
Border design
Our Plant Border Design service is perfect for clients looking to enhance their outdoor space with beautiful, bespoke planting schemes. This service focuses solely on the design of planting borders, including a detailed planting plan, plant sourcing, and tailored aftercare instructions. We can also incorporate elements of hard landscaping, such as raised beds and border edging, to complement the overall design. Each project is fully customizable, ensuring your plant borders are unique to your preferences and garden’s needs. Whether you’re looking for a low-maintenance design or a vibrant, seasonal display, we’ll create the perfect planting border for your garden in Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, or Hertfordshire.
