From first ideas to finished gardens, a clear and supportive process

How we work

The below guide illustrates a typical breakdown of the design process in its various stages:

  • An initial visit and conversation to understand your aims, ambitions and the character of the site.

  • A detailed survey to record existing levels, boundaries, and features providing the foundation for all design work.

  • Sketches, layouts and imagery to explore ideas and open a dialogue around atmosphere, function and material direction.

  • Refined, scaled plans and technical drawings ensure every element is build-ready and thoughtfully resolved.

  • Guidance through tendering, contractor selection, and key stages of the build, to help ensure quality and intent are delivered to the highest standard.

  • Collaboration

    Working openly with clients, architects, interior designers, and other professionals to ensure designs benefit from shared expertise and seamless integration across disciplines.

  • Clarity

    Transparency at every stage of the process. Through open communication and structured documentation, we make the experience simple, engaging, and enjoyable from start to finish.

  • Care

    Recognising our responsibility to people, place, and nature. Our approach is guided by mindfulness for our wider impact; designing positively, meaningfully, and with long-term stewardship of the landscape in mind.
