Garden Design

Imagine having your own unique garden fashioned to your own personal taste and lifestyle. A garden that full-fills all your needs and is a pleasure to be in.  Visualise a garden you are excited to spend time in relaxing on your own or entertaining guests under the summer sun in a peaceful environment adorned with beautiful vibrant plants.  You owe it to yourself to have amazing outdoor living escape that creates happiness and adds value to your life.

 

All our garden designs are unique and reflect the personalities and lifestyle of our clients making them special and distinct.  That's because we pay attention to who our clients are. We don't pump out imitation gardens.  We don't stick to a specific style.  Our  main design ethos is to encourage plants and wildlife whenever possible.  

 

We mix the aesthetic with the practical to make a garden that works in every way for you. Call now to find out the possibilities your garden has and let us transform it into your own bespoke peace of paradise.

​

Planting plans can really dramatically uplift a garden.  Whenever we build a garden we know it is the last bit that has the biggest effect - adding the plants.  Therefore, it is worth having a well designed planting scheme with fantastic lush plants with interesting foliage shapes and sizes and an array of complimentary colours to add even more interest.  Plants really do make a difference, a huge difference when done well.  Without plants a garden is dull and boring.  Plants really set off the garden and create the feel.    A beautiful and vibrant environment is calming and peaceful for the soul.

​

Planting ethos

Rather than put in any old plant and see what happens it's best to have a strategy for plant selection. Although this isn't set in stone our preference is for plants that are well behaved.  As lazy gardeners we prefer plants that are:

​

Low maintenance - less pests & diseases, less trimming & tying up

Highly productive - have a long flowering period, particularly in small gardens

Suit the environment - requiring less in terms of irrigation and other alterations

Attract or benefit wildlife - through habitats or flowering & fruit

​

Other planting strategies might be particular seasonal interest, puppy and child friendly (low risk of poisoning)

​
