- Wildlife-friendly garden design
- Privacy and screening design

Our Design Process
- Site survey: we measure the garden, note sun and shade, take soil samples, and photograph the existing features
- Brief: we discuss how you use the garden, what you want from it, and your budget
- Concept plan: a scaled drawing showing the layout, zones and key features
- Planting plan: a detailed plan showing plant species, quantities and positions
- Quote: a fixed price for implementing the design
- Implementation: we carry out the work, or you can use the plan to do it yourself or with another contractor
Design Styles
We design in a range of styles to suit your property and taste:
- Cottage garden: informal, densely planted, traditional English style
- Contemporary: clean lines, architectural plants, minimal palette
- Wildlife-friendly: native plants, pollinator focus, year-round interest
- Low-maintenance: evergreen structure, ground cover, minimal lawn
- Mediterranean: drought-tolerant plants, gravel, silver foliage
- Formal: symmetry, structure, topiary, defined beds
