Our Bespoke Garden Design Process
1. Initial Consultation & Discovery
We begin with a comprehensive consultation at your property to understand your vision, lifestyle needs, and how you want to use your outdoor space.
This is where we learn about your aesthetic preferences, practical requirements, and budget considerations while assessing your garden's unique characteristics and potential.
2. Detailed Site Survey
Our expert team conducts a thorough survey of your garden, precisely measuring and documenting all existing elements, from structures and trees to soil conditions and sunlight patterns.
This technical foundation ensures our designs work harmoniously with your garden's natural attributes.
3. Concept Design & Visualization
Based on your brief and our site analysis, we create detailed 3D concept designs and inspiring mood boards that bring your future garden to life.
These visualizations allow you to clearly see and refine our proposed transformation before any work begins.
4. Collaborative Refinement
We believe great design emerges through partnership. We'll present our concepts and welcome your feedback, making adjustments until the design perfectly aligns with your vision and practical needs.
Once you're delighted with the concept, we develop a complete 3D design incorporating all elements—hardscaping, planting schemes, lighting, irrigation systems, and garden furniture—creating a cohesive plan that guides the transformation of your outdoor space.
5. Detailed Planting & Materials Plan
Our expert horticulturists craft planting schemes that balance year-round visual appeal with ecological benefits.
We select plants that will thrive in your specific conditions while creating habitats for butterflies, bees, and birds—bringing your garden to life in more ways than one.
We'll also source the best materials from our trusted roster of suppliers to add the right special touches to pathways, seating areas and other architectural points of interest.
6. Labour & Landscaping
Finally, our dedicated team come together to make it all happen come rain or shine. We dig in and transform your space with as minimal disruption to you as posisble.
From Garden Design to
Finished Landscaped Garden
A garden design is only as good as the people who build it. We work with landscape gardeners we know and trust across London, Somerset, and the South East to actually get your garden built.
We'll manage the whole thing if you want us to: finding the right contractors, sourcing materials, keeping an eye on quality, and making sure what ends up in your garden matches what was on the plans. Or if you've got a landscaper you already work with, we're happy to hand over detailed specs they can work from.
What the build side covers:
Site clearance and groundworks.
Patios, paths, and paving.
Decking and timber structures like pergolas.
Walls, raised beds, and any level changes.
Drainage (surprisingly important in London clay). Fencing and boundaries.
Then finally, the planting and lawn.

Frequently Asked Questions
Choose a landscape and garden designer that's right for your project - get to know us more through frequently asked question
How much does garden design cost in London?
Our consultation service starts at £400 for a half-day session. Border renovation projects begin at £1,100, while full garden design packages start from £3,000. For complete design and build projects, budgets typically start around £17,500 for smaller London gardens, with larger or more complex projects requiring proportionally more investment. London projects often cost more per square metre due to access constraints and material delivery challenges, but we're always happy to discuss your budget openly and suggest approaches that deliver the best value.
Do you cover my area?
We work across London from our base in East London, covering North, South, East and West London including Hackney, Islington, Stoke Newington, Walthamstow, Dulwich, Peckham, Clapham, Brixton, Bow, Stratford and surrounding areas. We also take on projects in Surrey, Kent and Sussex where travel is practical. If you're unsure whether we cover your location, just ask—we'll give you a straight answer.
Can you work with my existing garden features?
Absolutely. Not every garden needs a complete redesign. We're experienced at working with established trees, existing structures, and features you want to keep. Many London gardens have mature planting that's worth preserving, or period features like original walls and paths that add character. Often the best approach is to enhance what's already working while addressing the areas that aren't.
How long does a garden project take?
Timescales vary depending on the scope of work. A consultation can happen within a few weeks of enquiry. Design projects typically take 6-12 weeks from briefing to final plans. Build phases depend on the scale of work and contractor availability—London projects sometimes take a little longer due to access restrictions and coordination with neighbours. We'll give you realistic timelines during the design process.
Do you only design sustainable gardens?
Sustainability is central to our approach, but that doesn't mean every garden has to be a wildflower meadow. We design contemporary urban spaces, formal gardens, family gardens, and everything in between. What unites our work is thoughtful plant selection, responsible material choices, and designs that support rather than fight against natural processes. In London, that also means creating vital green corridors for urban wildlife.
