It usually starts with a pencil, a pad, a tape measure and a friendly chat over a cuppa! We approach every new garden project individually and personally so that the resulting garden space (or spaces) unify with you and your family’s needs. Whether you want an architectural, low maintenance garden, a plot to cultivate flowers, vegetables and fruit, a garden where children can securely play or simply an outdoors space to relax (or even all of these), we talk through your requirements to originate a design that is both practical and achievable.
We love the concept of outdoor living so we work to make your garden space harmonise with your home life so that, when the weather permits, you can seamlessly utilise all of your living space.
We consult with you to produce sketches and plans and link you to your own Pinterest page where we can pin ideas and inspirations. Once we have a broad idea of what you require, we can organise a proper site survey, draw up plans and produce a detailed proposal including costs and timescales.

Of course, no garden is complete without plants, even in a low maintenance garden, so whether you want a garden to be natural, subtle, spartan or bold, our horticultural experience and knowledge can help you achieve your desired look. Our range of soft landscaping includes every layer of ecological sequence: aquatic plants, semi-aquatic plants, field layer plants (including grasses and herbaceous plants) shrubs and trees.
Sarah starts by assessing your needs: whether you have time to spend to tend a garden or whether an active lifestyle requires ‘self-sustaining’ planting. She then looks at the location, the direction of the sun, areas of shade, the quality of the soil and the surrounding fauna. The aim is to develop a living space that doesn’t only look active during the warmer months. We look at colours and structure and develop the planting to mature into its surroundings to complement and collaborate.
