What we cover

Consultation, surveys & analysis

Our process

Initial Consultation

We’ll visit your property to get to know you and your space. Whether you already have a clear vision in mind or need some inspiration, we’ll listen to your ideas, brainstorm together, and gain an understanding of your budget. To help gather all the important details, we also send out a handy design questionnaire for you to complete before our visit. This ensures we cover everything you need and helps us create the perfect plan for your garden. From here, a brief is formed.

Site Analysis & Survey

We’ll take accurate measurements of your space and carefully note any existing features and unique characteristics that should be preserved in the design. This ensures we respect the elements you love about your garden while incorporating your new vision. For larger or more complex projects that require a more detailed and precise survey, we may bring in professional surveyors. Their expertise helps ensure the design is based on the most accurate information, providing a solid foundation for the project and allowing us to create a truly tailored design.

Preliminary Ideas & Design Development

This is where the creative process truly begins! We’ll start by drawing up some initial sketches, exploring different concepts and ideas, and considering all the finishing touches that will bring your vision to life. Throughout this stage, we’ll consult with you at every step to ensure the design reflects your preferences and meets your needs. We’ll work together to refine the ideas, making sure the final plan is exactly what you’ve been imagining for your garden.

Presentation of Master Plan & Landscape Drawings

Once the final scale masterplan is complete, the design process is finalised. This detailed plan will showcase the structural features, including heights and levels, and identify the areas designated for planting. To help you visualise the design, we’ll use advanced technology to create 3D models, giving you a clear sense of how the space will look. At this stage, we’ll also be able to provide you with estimated costs, ensuring you have a comprehensive understanding of both the design and the budget.

Construction & Planting

We have a trusted list of approved contractors ready to begin the work, but if you have a preferred contractor, we’re happy to accommodate that as well. For smaller projects, we handle the work ourselves, collaborating with reliable tradespeople and craftspeople. At this stage, we’ll also begin planting, drawing on our network of trusted suppliers to source high-quality plants and materials. Whether it’s for the hard landscaping or planting, we ensure that every element of the project meets our high standards for quality and craftsmanship.

Monitoring & Project Management

While some clients prefer to oversee the build themselves, we believe it’s always best for us to manage the process directly. This allows us to ensure that every detail is executed to perfection. We’ll make regular site visits to monitor the progress, address any issues promptly, and make sure that deadlines are met without compromise. Our hands-on approach ensures that the project stays on track and that the final result aligns with your vision.

“Luke and the team nailed the brief turning our damp, fussy, high maintenance garden into an easy, safe, low maintenance interesting and easy garden, one that can be enjoyed as opposed to feeling like a chore. As usual with projects like these there is a little flexibility on timings and costs (due choices made or unexpected finds) but Luke kept us well informed so there were no surprise and options provided. It’s been nearly a year now, and I’m still delighted when I come home and see the garden, as it should be! Would highly recommend!"

“From the initial contact with Luke to the completion of our garden project, the team were all extremely helpful, knowledgeable and professional. Dan’s attention to detail whilst laying the new porcelain patio and building the pergola were exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble and if any unforeseen issues arose they were dealt with quickly and efficiently. Our garden is now a place to enjoy and entertain family and friends. We have had many compliments regarding our garden."
