Initial Consultation
Every project begins with an initial consultation to understand how you would like to live in and experience your garden, establishing the aspirations and priorities that will shape the design.
The site is then carefully analysed, taking into account the architecture of the home, surrounding landscape, views, orientation and existing features. Together, these considerations form the foundation of a thoughtful and well-considered landscape design.
Concept Design
Once the brief has been established and the site survey completed, a concept design is developed to explore the overall direction of the garden.
This typically includes layout options, 3D visuals, mood boards and an interactive virtual model, allowing you to clearly understand how the finished garden could look before moving forward.
Through this stage, ideas are tested, refined and developed in detail, giving you the confidence to make informed decisions before the design progresses.
Detail Design
Following approval of the concept design, a comprehensive package of detailed construction drawings is prepared to accurately communicate the design to your chosen contractor.
This coordinated set of drawings typically includes a master layout plan, setting out information, material specifications and detailed construction drawings, providing the clarity required for accurate pricing and construction.
Planting Design
A carefully considered planting design brings structure, texture, seasonal interest and a sense of maturity to the landscape.
Detailed planting plans and specifications are prepared for each project, with every species selected to suit the conditions of the site while complementing the overall design. The plants are then carefully positioned on site prior to planting, ensuring the composition, spacing and overall character of the scheme are realised exactly as designed.
Design Management
A well-designed landscape relies on careful implementation. Throughout procurement and construction, the design is overseen to ensure every detail is delivered as intended.
This includes contractor coordination, clarification of drawings and specifications, review of setting out, monitoring construction progress and site attendance at key stages, ensuring the finished landscape remains true to the approved design.
