Landscape garden design is our most comprehensive service, offering a fully considered approach to shaping outdoor spaces that are both beautiful and practical.
Each landscape garden design project begins with understanding how you want to use your garden, now and in the future. Whether the space is intended for entertaining, family life, outdoor cooking, wildlife, or quiet retreat, the design is shaped around your lifestyle, priorities, and long-term vision.
The design process considers the overall layout of the garden, the relationship between the house and outdoor space, levels and movement, and how different areas connect and flow. Hard landscaping and planting are carefully balanced to create structure, softness, and a sense of cohesion throughout the garden.
Planting is approached as an integral part of the design rather than an afterthought. Schemes are developed to complement the architecture of the home, enhance seasonal interest, and support the long-term health and maturity of the garden.
Client relationships are central to how we work. Clear communication, thoughtful consultation, and a collaborative process ensure that each landscape garden design reflects both practical requirements and personal preferences. The result is a garden that feels intentional, considered, and suited to the way it is lived in.
Landscape garden design services can be tailored to suit the scale and complexity of your project, providing a clear design framework to guide implementation and future development.
Landscape Garden Design
Our approach to landscape garden design is shaped around thoughtful layers of work, each building upon the last. The steps below show how a garden moves from initial consultation to a craft.
The Design Process
Every project begins with understanding the garden, its setting, and how it will be used. We consider the site, architecture, and surrounding landscape alongside lifestyle and long-term needs.
This ensures the design is shaped around how the space is lived in, rather than a fixed style.
Understanding the site
Concept Design
The concept design establishes the overall layout and structure of the garden. Key spaces, movement, and the relationship between the house and garden are defined.
Initial ideas around materials, levels, and planting character are introduced to provide a clear design direction.
Design Development
Once the concept is agreed, the design is developed in greater detail. Layouts are refined, materials are confirmed, and the design is shaped to ensure balance, flow, and practicality.
This stage resolves the design before moving into technical detail.
Technical Details
Technical drawings and details are produced to support accurate construction. This includes levels, structures, junctions, and key elements of the design.
These drawings ensure the design intent can be delivered clearly and consistently on site.
Planting Plan
Planting is designed as an integral part of the garden. Detailed planting plans are developed with careful consideration of site conditions, seasonal interest, and maintenance preferences.
Planting is intended to mature over time, adding depth, structure, and longevity to the garden.
Construction Stage
Where required, support can be provided during tendering and construction. This may include issuing drawings to selected landscapers and attending site visits.
This stage helps ensure the design is implemented as intended, maintaining continuity from concept through to build.
