No project is too small - from balcony, courtyard to large garden and everything in between – we work with you to turn your outdoor space into the garden you’ve always dreamed of.

Whether you are starting with a blank canvas or you want to remodel an existing space into a garden more suited to your needs and aspirations, this full design package will deliver a garden redesign complete with planting plans and lighting design, if needed. 

A full garden design package starts from £3,500 depending on size, scale and complexity.

Our services are tailored to your needs. If you require individual elements of a service or of the design process, please get in touch to discuss.

Although all gardens and outdoor spaces are different, we follow the same phased and collaborative design approach, working with you from initial consultation to delivery of a beautifully designed garden.

1. Consultation

Everything starts with understanding you and your garden needs and aspirations. We will meet to discuss your vision, needs and preferences for your garden, how you want to use your space and your available budget. Following this, you will receive a a quote for my design services and a design brief summarising your goals and vision for the space.

2. Site Survey

Following our consultation we will undertake a survey of your garden to measure the space, understand any level changes, drainage issues and any existing trees and plants you would like to keep.

3. Design Concepts

Design concepts, supported by mood boards help you visualise your new garden and the inspiration behind it. The focus of a concept design is on the layout of the space, rather than detailed design elements.

4. Detailed Design

Once you are happy with the concept, the design is detailed out into an overall Masterplan and Working Plan. The Masterplan includes details of materials, specific features and the design elements. Dimensions of the space and locations of design elements are included in the Working Plan, enabling a landscaper to provide a detailed and accurate quote to bring the design to life. 3D drawings can be provided at this stage to bring the space to life.

5. Planting Plans

Planting plans provide you with locations of the recommended plants and a schedule including plant names, sizes and the quantities needed. A moodboard is also provided, giving you an idea of the planting look and feel and how this will bring your garden to life.

We can source trees and plants from established and respected growers and it is recommended that we set plants out when the garden is ready for planting. We welcome keeping in touch as the space matures and are available for aftercare and maintenance advice.

6. Build Quotes

The design package for your garden is put together and can be sent to landscapers to quote. We work with trusted landscapers who can build and create your garden, or you can use your own contractor.

"We asked Katie to help us with redesigning our back garden and we cannot recommend her highly enough!...

From the start she listened to us, asked lots of questions to help our thinking and suggested ideas for us to think about. The result was a fantastic design, including planting, which incorporates everything we hoped for, and so so much more. At every stage Katie was professional, imaginative, thoughtful about our budget and so enthusiastic. We are so grateful for all of Katie’s hard work!"
