Our Garden Design & Makeover Services

Garden Design

Creating a garden is more than just planting flowers and shrubs; it’s about crafting an outdoor space that reflects your personal style and meets your functional needs. Our Garden Design service begins with a thorough consultation where we discuss your vision, preferences, and the specific requirements of your outdoor space.

We take into account factors like soil quality, sunlight, and climate, as well as your lifestyle and how you intend to use the garden.

Customised Design Plans: We develop detailed design plans that include everything from plant selection to hardscaping elements like pathways, patios, and water features. These plans are tailored to your taste, whether you prefer a modern minimalist garden, a lush tropical oasis, or a classic English garden. Each element is chosen to enhance the beauty of your space while ensuring sustainability and ease of maintenance.

Plant Selection and Placement: The right plants are essential for a thriving garden. We carefully select plants that will flourish in your specific environment and complement the overall design. We consider color schemes, seasonal interest, and plant height to create a dynamic landscape that offers visual appeal year-round. Proper placement ensures that each plant has enough space to grow and thrive, reducing the need for future maintenance and preventing overcrowding.

Hardscaping and Structures: In addition to plants, our designs often include hardscaping elements like stone pathways, garden walls, pergolas, and seating areas. These features add structure and functionality to your garden, creating spaces for relaxation, entertaining, and enjoying nature. Hardscaping also enhances the garden’s visual appeal, providing contrast and balance with the lush greenery.

Garden Makeovers

If your existing garden is looking tired, overgrown, or outdated, our Garden Makeover service is the perfect solution. We specialise in revitalising outdoor spaces, transforming them into vibrant, welcoming areas that you’ll be proud to show off. The process begins with an assessment of your current garden, where we identify areas that need improvement and discuss your goals for the makeover.

Assessment and Planning: We start by evaluating your garden’s current state, including soil health, plant condition, and existing structures. Based on this assessment, we develop a comprehensive plan to address any issues and enhance the garden’s overall appearance. This may include removing overgrown or unhealthy plants, improving soil quality, and reworking the layout to create a more cohesive and functional space.

New Plantings and Enhancements: A garden makeover often involves introducing new plants to add color, texture, and interest. We choose plants that complement the existing landscape and enhance the garden’s aesthetic appeal. This might include adding flowering perennials, ornamental grasses, or even trees and shrubs to create focal points and define different areas of the garden.

Hardscape Upgrades: In addition to plantings, we may recommend upgrades to your garden’s hardscaping elements. This could involve repairing or replacing worn pathways, installing new garden borders, or adding features like water fountains or garden lighting. These enhancements not only improve the garden’s functionality but also add to its overall charm and elegance.

Soil Improvement and Mulching: Healthy soil is the foundation of any thriving garden. We improve soil quality by adding organic matter, compost, and fertilisers as needed, ensuring that your plants have the nutrients they need to grow strong and healthy. Mulching is also applied to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and give the garden a neat, finished appearance.
