Garden Design Services

Four garden design services, tailored to your scope. Choose a complete end-to-end transformation, or focus on a single element like planting design, lighting or water features.

How I work ⸻

No two gardens need the same approach. Whether you want a full transformation, from an initial survey to build oversight, or targeted help with planting, lighting, or irrigation, I tailor services entirely to your space.

Garden Design & Planting

The full service. I survey the garden, develop 2D and 3D concepts so you can walk through the layout before anything is fixed, then produce construction drawings and a written specification so contractors can price like for like. Planting plans are drawn border by border for your soil and aspect.

Lighting Design and Irrigation

In uncertain weather, a simple drip system gets a new garden established quickly and keeps it going through a hosepipe ban, while proper water storage takes the pressure off the mains. Good lighting extends the season: architectural planting picked out after dark, steps made safe, a terrace that works as an outdoor dining room.

Water Features and Ponds

Formal, natural or contained. Almost any water draws wildlife and adds a dimension that the rest of the garden cannot. It doesn't have to mean pumps, sumps, and filters: an elegant bowl that reflects the sky will do it.

Garden Styling

Furniture finishes the design, and the wrong furniture undoes it. I help you choose and source pieces that suit your garden and budget: comfortable, well-made, and built to withstand a British winter outdoors.
