Our outside spaces are precious; a place of retreat from life’s noise, connect with nature or have fun with loved ones, but often we feel overwhelmed at where to start to make the best of these living spaces.
I’m here to remove the overwhelm, and together, embark on a creative journey to turn your space into something truly special.
From complete redesigns to one-off consultations there’s a process that’s right for you.
Your dream garden is closer than you think, let me help you realise the dream and add a smile to your space.
Full redesigns are tailored to your needs but the general flow follows these steps.
Together we’ll create the design brief which forms the benchmark for all that follows.
A survey will then be undertaken, either by myself on smaller projects or an external surveyor, to establish the dimensions and details of the space.
Thorough analysis of the site paves the way for the initial creative solutions.
A series of simple drawings are produced looking at the general flow of the space; Where is that perfect place to sit and breathe? Is there a view that needs enhancing or hiding? Where’s the best spot for the washing line?
(There’s always a washing line!)
This is presented alongside mood boards exploring textures, materials, details and tone for the space.
From here a single design vision is thoroughly researched and the masterplan is created. This is the detailed document (below centre) which holds all the information needed to bring the design to life. This document alongside any construction drawings and sketches is passed to the landscapers to quote against.
Planting, which until now had be indicative other than key trees, shrubs or details, is then thoroughly explored resulting in the detailed planting plan (below right).
Sourcing plants, overseeing the build, planting and continuous support bring the project to a happy conclusion. Why not get in touch to see how we could work together, to create something beautiful, practical, buzzing and bespoke to you.
