Our garden design service creates bespoke outdoor spaces tailored to your lifestyle. Using advanced 3D visualisation and CAD software, we develop concept plans, construction drawings, and planting schemes. We focus on combining aesthetic appeal with practical functionality, ensuring seamless integration with your home's architecture and surrounding landscape. Clients receive detailed cost estimates and project tracking tools for transparency throughout the process.
Landscape Design
We specialise in transforming gardens through comprehensive landscape design. Our approach includes site analysis, hardscaping elements like paving and walls, and soft landscaping with carefully selected plants. Projects are managed from initial concept to completion, with optional aftercare services to maintain the longevity of your new outdoor space. Our team works within a two-hour radius of Sheffield.
Planting Plans
Our planting plans ensure the right plants for the right locations, considering soil conditions, sunlight, and client preferences. The in-house team, trained by our Chelsea award-winning founder, executes installations using high-quality specimens sourced directly from UK and Dutch growers. We provide year-round interest through seasonal planting schemes and maintenance guidance.
Construction Drawings
We produce detailed construction drawings using Vectorworks software to meet British Standards. These include setting-out plans, drainage specifications, and lighting layouts. The documents ensure contractors adhere to our exacting standards, guaranteeing precise implementation of your garden design while allowing flexibility for adjustments during the build phase.
Garden Styling
Our garden styling service enhances existing spaces with curated elements like furniture, lighting, and planters. We offer both minor updates and comprehensive transformations, incorporating themes from contemporary to cottage gardens.
