Services
I offer three flexible ways to collaborate and bring your vision to life, providing expert advice, creative ideas, and practical solutions for your garden. Whether you're looking for a full garden design service, an online consultation, or a bespoke digital garden design, I’ll work with you to create a unique outdoor space that reflects your personal style and meets your needs.
Full Garden Design
My full garden design service offers a personalised approach to transforming your outdoor space, creating a design that reflects your unique lifestyle, tastes, and goals. Together, we’ll develop a custom design brief, resulting in a tailored garden plan with planting schemes, detailed features, and modern materials. Regular updates and meetings ensure you're involved throughout every stage of the design process.
Garden Design Consultation
This service provides expert advice and inspiration for clients who need guidance on their garden layout without a full design package. Whether you’re tackling a specific challenge or seeking ideas, this flexible service can be tailored to your needs, helping you progress step-by-step over time. It’s an ideal choice for those who want professional input without committing to a complete design plan.
Online Consultation
If you're looking for a more cost-effective option without sacrificing design quality, my online consultation service is the perfect choice. While I recommend the full design service for larger projects, this option allows you to take charge of a smaller-scale garden transformation, working either independently or with your landscaper to create a stunning garden that aligns with your vision.
Design Practice
I run a small landscape design studio based in South East London, specialising in a wide range of garden projects, from urban courtyards and roof terraces to suburban gardens and expansive country estates. I collaborate closely with architects and interior designers to create cohesive and seamless transformations that enhance the entire property.
My design approach is tailored to each client and site, drawing inspiration from your unique preferences, tastes, and goals. I aim to design outdoor spaces that are not only beautiful but functional, creating a natural flow between indoor and outdoor areas.
I am passionate about sustainability and design eco-friendly gardens that support local wildlife, insects, and birds. My focus includes creating pollinator-friendly environments that encourage biodiversity, using native plants and sustainable practices to foster a harmonious relationship between nature and the built environment.
