Services
I provide a range of garden design services with my clients’ needs at the heart of everything I do.
Initial Meeting/Consultation
Once you’ve decided that you’d like to change the way your garden looks, we’ll arrange an initial meeting for a friendly chat. It’s important that I get to know you and your garden so there is a good understanding of how you want to live in your garden.
We’ll discuss your ideas and I’ll offer some general advice and options for your garden.
During this visit, I’ll also explain the different services I provide. I’ll then put together a personalised project package for you based on your budget and requirements.
After the consultation, you’ll receive a written quotation detailing my recommended design work.

The full range of my design services include:
Site Survey
Detailed Conceptual Design Proposal
MasterPlan and Detailed Design Plans

Planting
Site Survey
I’ll spend a few hours analysing your garden and taking the necessary measurements and photos. I’ll observe the environmental conditions, aspects, and surroundings. I’ll also take samples for soil analysis, write down any relevant topographical information and finally plot existing plants and features.
Detailed Conceptual Design Proposal
The design proposal will give you a general idea of the layout, the style and the mood of the garden. I will present it to you using 3D visualisation, mood boards as well as a coloured 2D design plan.
MasterPlan and Detailed Design Plans
After the necessary revisions, I will provide you with a detailed masterplan, which is the final version of the design. This plan or plans will include all the essential information for building the garden, specifying recommended materials, and plants.
Depending on the size and difficulty of the site, it would need a separate Planting Plan.
Construction
The implementation of my design could take a few different routes: some people choose to do the work themselves whilst some already have a shortlist of landscapers they would prefer to use.
If you’re not in the above category I’m happy to recommend professional landscapers that I trust. I will be available to monitor the building process.
Don’t forget, we can phase the implementation according to your budget. I’d recommend looking at your boundaries first (fencing/walls/hedging) and having all the hard landscaping done before planting.
Planting
Planting is the most exciting part of the whole journey. In my opinion, plants are the soul of your garden.
I’ll be happy to source and order your plants from trusted, reputable local garden centres or nurseries.
After the soil preparation, I prefer to set out the plants myself to make sure all plants are in their correct position when planting starts.

Patio or Driveway Design
Not everyone needs a full garden makeover. If you’d only like a part of your garden redesigned – for example, a patio, driveway or planting bed – please get in touch.
Planting Design
This service is for you if you feel your planting beds need to be refreshed, or you are planning to add a whole new planting bed.
Online Garden Design
This service is suitable for small and medium-sized gardens and doesn’t include site visits.
Here I offer an online garden design with conceptual plans accompanied by a mood board and plant/material recommendations only.
All communications are via phone/video calls, emails and post. To get started, I’ll kindly ask you to provide me with a site layout plan, exact measurements and lots of photographs of the site from a variety of angles.
This service is available worldwide.
PRICING
Every garden is unique.
The price of my services varies according to the size, difficulty (for example, multi-level plans), and comprehensiveness of the design.
As a general guide, a patio design starts at €250 and a small garden design averages €400. My services can be personalised to suit your needs.
