Gardening Services
Garden Design & Build
This service offers the full design consultation process – from concept to completion. This includes a site visit, 2D and 3D design, moodboard, lighting and planting plans, and the construction plan for the landscape contractor. I then oversee and project manage the full garden design build using professional landscaping contractors.

Planting Design
Does your garden need a planting refresh? Or perhaps the existing plants have become overgrown and taken over? There is a plant for every soil and garden situation. They key is knowing how to pick the right ones.
I work with you to create schemes which suit the light, aspect and soil type of your garden. I can provide either a full revamp or help with selecting a few plants.

Garden Consultation
- If you don’t need a full redesign then this could be a cost-effective way of improving your garden.

- Does your garden need a layout tweak?
- Do you have trouble spots where plants aren’t growing; it’s too shady or too sunny?
