Here's how we work - a case study

Let's have a chat...... Our garden design process begins with you contacting us by email or a phone call, a chat........ You may not have worked with a designer before and may like to understand h ow the design process works, get an idea of the timescales, and budgets. If you like what you hear we'll arrange a visit. I like to spend an hour or so with you, in your home and garden space. We will talk about your likes and dislikes, I'll listen to your thoughts and ideas, take some notes, take some photos and understand what you want from your outside space. I use my time with you to: Get to know you as an individual,  collect your ideas, desires and requirements for your garden Get a feel for your house, your home, your style and gain some context for my design ideas Do an analysis of the site, for example: light, shade, aspect, privacy, access, circulation, etc. Explain and discuss the process and how I can help you achieve your ambitions My objective is to develop...

We love to mix palettes of contrasting materials

Here we have mixed textural paddlestones with smooth porcelain paving and hardwood decking. This garden completed last year is maturing nicely with a little help from our aftercare team. Dicksonia tree ferns add a structural/tropical flavour, underplanted with our favourite Hakoechloa grass. Garden In Sevenoaks Garden in Bexley We've also been out planting bulbs this week including this newly completed garden in Bexley, which includes a Solus Bio ethanol firebowl which sits within a fireplace creating a wonderful focal point and gorgeous seating area, surrounded by large troughs planted with perennials and ornamental grasses. I'll return in the spring to get some photos of this wonderful garden.
