This consists of an initial visit to discuss your requirements and collect a detailed client brief. There will then be a separate visit to survey the garden and take photographs. Following this you will be sent ideas in the form of 'bubble drawings' click to see a Bubble Drawing from which you can choose the parts that you like. A concept design click to see a Concept Design will then be drawn to scale, and you again have the chance to request changes before the final design click to see a Final Design is drawn up. The process ensures that you have input at every stage, and the design becomes a representation of what you want rather than what the designer would want! The end result is an individual design that suits your lifestyle and your tastes.

Whether for complete gardens or individual borders these are what will really bring your garden to life. As a self confessed plantaholic I draw on a wide range of plants chosen to suit the conditions. Your scheme will be designed not only for colour and form but also for scent, texture and year round interest click to see a Planting Plan.

Section-Elevation drawings, Construction drawings and/or Axonometric projections can be provided for those who find it difficult to visualise a base plan click to see an Additional Drawing.

During 2007 I began working with a local landscaper who I am now happy to recommend for the construction of my designs. I can liaise with him, or your chosen contractors, to project manage the construction and planting of your garden.

Following the construction of your garden you will want to know what you have to do to maintain it looking its best. Written maintenance schedules, individually tailored to your design and planting, will tell you exactly what you need to do and when you need to do it

One, two or even three! years after your garden has been completed, I offer a follow-up visit to discuss any problems you may have encountered and provide solutions.

If you do not want to completely redesign your garden, but just need some advice or ideas, a consultation visit, which may be followed by a written report, could be the solution.

And last but not least, if you do not live in the area but like what you have seen so far, I can offer the full design service and/or planting plans as a postal option. The process runs in a similar way, but without site visits. You will be given detailed instructions on how to survey your garden, and asked to submit photographs and soil samples (if required). I will work closely with you by telephone, e-mail and post, to ensure the same individualised process. This service is offered at discounted costs appropriate for the time saved on visits and survey.
