About
About our landscape design
Landscape Design is skilled work that pays to get right. Here is why it is worth bringing in an experienced local team:
Getting the plan right on paper first saves time, money and mistakes on the ground. We spend time understanding how you want to use the garden, then work through levels, drainage, access, materials and planting so the finished garden is thought through rather than pieced together. Because our own team then builds it, the design and the build stay joined up from start to finish.

What's included
What's included with landscape design
A professional landscape design job is about more than the finish you see. Here is what is included when we do it properly:
- A site visit to understand how you use the garden
- A clear layout and plan for the space
- Advice on materials, planting and levels
- A design our own team can then build
The process
It starts with a proper look at your garden
A design starts with a proper look at what you have. We visit the garden to measure up and note the levels, the soil, where water sits, how much sun each part gets and what you want to keep or lose. We talk through how you want to use the space, from dining and seating to lawn, planting, storage and screening, and we turn that into a clear layout that makes the most of the plot and works with the way the light falls through the day.
The plan
From layout to a garden you can cost
From there we plan the detail: the surfaces and materials, the levels and any steps or retaining, the planting scheme, and where features like a patio, path or lawn sit in relation to the house. We think about the practical side too, such as drainage, access for maintenance and how the garden will look through the seasons, so the finished space is easy to live with rather than a struggle to keep up. You end up with a plan you can picture and cost before committing to the build.
We can work to your budget and phase the work if you would rather spread it out, and we will tell you honestly where the money makes the biggest difference. If low upkeep matters, we plan the planting and surfaces around that from the outset. You are welcome to take the design and build it elsewhere, but most clients like that the team who plan the garden also build it, so the finished result matches the drawings and nothing is lost in translation between designer and contractor.
