We create tailored solutions for residential clients across London, Greater London and Hertfordshire, including St Albans.

Our garden designs make your outdoor space look fabulous while remaining functional to suit your needs. With expert guidance, lifelike 3D visuals (available at an additional cost), and a friendly in-house team, we bring your vision to life, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable.

Garden Design Process

After meeting with you and reviewing your garden we begin our garden design process. The concept plan outlines the overall layout, featuring spaces for dining, relaxing, play, and planting. It helps you understand how the garden will flow and how it suits your lifestyle. A supporting mood board of materials, finishes and planting style lets you picture the look and atmosphere.

The planting plan outlines the arrangement of trees, shrubs, flowers, and climbers to provide balance, structure, and colour. It gives a clear idea of how planting shapes the character of the garden across the seasons. A planting mood board and planting palette support the plan with detail and variety.

After a site survey, the master plan consolidates the complete design into a scaled drawing for clarity and reference. A setting-out plan then translates the design into precise instructions for the building team. These plans guide construction so the finished garden matches the agreed design exactly on site.

Optional extras add further detail and reassurance during the design process. A lighting plan shows how the garden can be enjoyed into the evening, creating atmosphere and highlighting features. 3D visuals provide a realistic impression of the finished garden before work begins, supporting confident decision-making.
