Services

Welcome to your go-to spot for all things garden design, where every garden tells a unique story. Whether it’s creating a new garden from scratch, renovating or reinvigorating your space, I am here to bring you creative solutions to transform any outdoor space into a personal oasis you'll love coming home to.

In addition to the services listed below I can offer consultations and other bespoke options, so please get in touch if you would like to discuss working together.

  1. Initial concept design

This package is for clients who would like assistance in conceiving an overall plan and vision for their garden. A great option for DIY-ers or people who want to manage their own implementation, or take on a garden build in smaller steps, with a clear big-picture plan. This is actually the ‘juiciest’ part of the process where many of the important ideas are generated.

I will attend your garden and together we will do a walk-through, covering:

  • Site assessment of sun/shade, wind, microclimates, soil conditions, utilities and more

  • Assessment of existing plants and trees onsite – to retain or replace

  • Assessment of built-structures including patios, paths, sheds and pergolas

  • Discussion of current garden flaws and ideas for improvement

  • Your wish-list, needs, lifestyle, budget and appetite for maintenance, as well as preferences for style, colour palette, mood and plants. 

I will then produce an initial concept design, consisting of a document detailing proposed changes and reference images for:

  • Plant palette and placement

  • Hard landscaping surfaces and materials

  • Style, colour palette and mood

  • Other design elements and features

  • Soil and mulch recommendations

  • Maintenance and garden care advice

Once you have had time to review the document, we will meet to discuss any feedback, questions or changes to the concept design.

Once you have your concept design, an experienced gardener, nursery staff and other professionals can be called on to help you with the details and next steps, or I can return for further consultation.

2. Initial concept design + planting schedule + drawings

This package builds on the initial concept design, moving toward a detailed plan for installation. It included:

  • Everything listed in Option 1

  • A planting schedule spreadsheet – detailing the plant species and variety, number of plants, pot size, mature size and location

  • A hand-drawn plan to help you visualise your new garden

  • A meeting to discuss and review the detailed plan

This package includes one round of revisions to the concept design, and one round of revisions to the planting schedule and drawings. 


3. End-to-end design and project management

This option includes full design and project management of the garden build. I will ensure that your vision is carried out, whilst taking care of the everyday stresses of project management, to deliver a great result. I will see your project through from conception to completion, and will return at intervals to ensure the garden is establishing as planned and to discuss any maintenance challenges.

This package includes all services listed in options 1 and 2, plus managing the entire construction and installation process, including: 

  • Putting your project to tender – obtaining quotes from landscapers, irrigation specialists and other contractors, as needed, including electricians, painters, fencing specialists, paving and stone specialists, metal workers etc

  • Sourcing of all plants, plus furniture or garden decor (if desired)

  • Project management of construction and installation including regular site visits and liaising with all contractors
