Design & care

Design & care

Landscape design, planting and regular care shaped around the site. From a quiet residential corner to a shared outdoor space, the plan considers how the garden will live over time.

Read the place

Describe the site, how you use it and what you want to change. Photos, dimensions and information about sunlight or drainage help prepare the first discussion.

Describe the garden size, sunlight and how the space is used. Include any existing plants or structures that should remain, along with access restrictions that may affect the proposal.

Develop the direction

We discuss planting character, circulation and care needs. The proposed direction is refined before the physical work and material scope are confirmed.

Separate the visual design from planting, construction and ongoing care. Ask which drawings, materials or tasks are included so that each part of the proposal has a clear purpose.

Agree the work

Plant sizes, materials, preparation, labour and arrangements are recorded. Availability and site conditions may require adjustments, which must be agreed before substitution.

Review the selected scope and discuss practical substitutions before work begins. A change in plants, materials or site conditions should be reflected in the agreement rather than assumed to be equivalent.

Plan the aftercare

The garden needs a practical care plan after installation. Watering, maintenance visits and responsibilities are discussed for the specific planting and site.

Ask for care guidance specific to the planting and site. A maintenance arrangement can be discussed afterwards, with priorities and frequency defined separately from the original installation or design work.

What helps us prepare?

Notice where sunlight falls during the day and where water remains after rain. These observations help explain the site, although drainage or structural concerns may need a more specific assessment.

Be realistic about ongoing care. A planting scheme should match the maintenance you can arrange, and new plants need attention while they establish. Plant selection and replacement terms must reflect the actual site rather than a blanket promise.
