How we work with you

Designing your garden should be enjoyable from start to end, and every process is tailored to the individual project. However, each begins with an initial consultation and broadly follows the steps below.

The Design Process.

  • Garden Design Consultation, Cumbria

    I. Initial Consultation.

    The process begins with you, your garden and anyone you share it with.

    We’ll visit your site, listen to your ideas and offer any early thoughts. After the visit we’ll send a tailored project proposal, including a process outline and fee breakdown.

  • Garden Design Survey, Cumbria

    II. Surveys & Client Brief

    We’ll discuss your priorities and create a client brief for your approval, to steer every stage of the design. The next step is to comprehensively map your existing space - boundaries, features, levels, planting and soil types.

  • Garden Design Concept, Cumbria

    III. Vision.

    Based on your client brief and surveys, we develop a vision for your space. A bird’s eye concept plan, mood boards and bespoke visuals guide discussion. We work with you to tweak this vision until you’re ready to bring it to life.

  • Garden Design Planning, Cumbria

    IV. Master Planning.

    With an agreed vision for your garden, we create the detailed plans to make it a reality. This includes plans for setting out, surfaces, structures, planting and all other relevant details. The master planning pack concludes the design phase of the process, with every step ready to build or tender.

  • Garden Design Landscaping, Cumbria

    V. Build & Planting.

    On completion of the design process, we can offer options for tendering and project oversight. If you choose, we’ll work with trusted contractors to bring your garden to life as intended.

  • Garden Design Maintenance, Cumbria

    VI. Aftercare.

    Your garden will be designed to grow, evolve and thrive for the long term. Your master plans will include notes on plant and garden aftercare. If you’d like longer-term professional help with garden care, we can recommend respected gardeners who’ll keep your garden at its best.
