The majority of garden projects involve the re-planning of an extensive part of a garden, with structural landscape works and planting.
The processes below would be typical of such a design, but stages may be overlooked on smaller/less complicated schemes. The common factor in all cases is professional service and key attention to detail.

A precise survey of the existing site is required before any design work can proceed. We’ll acquaint ourselves with your garden, noting views, features to be retained, slopes and levels, soil type and the direction of prevailing winds.
I have the capacity to measure smaller gardens myself, but larger or more complex sites require the services of a land surveyor for maximum precision.

This is a precise plan drawn to scale, showing the names, numbers and positioning of all the plants to be planted in your garden.
All plants are carefully selected which are suited and tailored to your soil type and aspect, giving your garden all year-round interest and structure which will compliment each other as well as the style of the house.

Our following meeting will be to look at the initial design, which will include the features, materials, trees and style of planting.
The concept plan is open to discussion, feedback is crucial and any changes can be agreed upon at this stage so that the designs are well suited to meet your needs and requirements.

During the opening visit, we look at the site and discuss your requirements, the style of garden you would like, problematic areas, your budget and the timescale you have available for gardening.
We’ll then be able to give you a price quotation for the design work.

Once the initial design has been amended, including any required changes, an outline of the plan will be presented to you.
This will be a detailed, coloured plan, drawn to scale, from which your garden will be built and developed.

The design brief achieves a lot in helping visualise the initial design however, a visual, pictorial statement (such as inspiring photos) allows clients an early understanding of the visual direction that I will plan to finally design towards.
I studied garden landscape design and horticulture at Capel Manor College in London.
Since then, I have been designing and maintaining gardens for over 16 years in and around Hertfordshire and London. I used to work as a Head Gardener at Mackerye End House in Wheathampstead, a beautiful Jacobean Manor House set within 9 Acres of gardens.
Throughout my time at Mackerye End, I had been entrusted with the mammoth task of redesigning all the individual garden spaces which was nothing but a joy and privilege on my part.
Unlike many garden designers, I do not have a specific design style. My motivation is to design a garden that best suits a client’s personality and lifestyle. I strive to relate a garden not only to its surrounding landscape, but also to the architecture of the property. My inspiration comes from my heart, in tune with Mother Nature’s wondrous variety of flora and spiritual essence. My work is therefore very unique and innovative. I enjoy the design work, which drives me to create exciting pallets of colour, texture and plant architecture, keeping in mind my clients taste and budget.
I listen and work closely with my clients and by applying my knowledge; it’s my pleasure to guide them through the whole process.
