STUDIO SERVICES

Garden design.
A whole place, considered together.

For a new garden, a substantial rethink or spaces that need a clearer connection.

Illustrative garden design workbench

Start with how you want to live outside. We look at routes, views, places to gather and the relationship between house and garden before choosing individual details.

A concept explores possibilities. A developed design resolves the selected direction. Detailed construction information, specialist advice and installation are separate elements to agree for a real project.

A DEFINED STARTING POINT

What we agree.

  • A written brief and agreed design scope
  • Site observations and a concept layout
  • A developed spatial and material direction
  • A planting direction and agreed next steps

Exact deliverables, revisions and fees belong in a written scope before work begins.

BEFORE THE CONVERSATION

What to prepare.

Bring an outline of your priorities, existing plans if available and a few photographs. A measured site assessment is agreed before dimensions become design decisions.
