Sometimes you do not need a complete garden design. You may simply want an experienced eye to look at your garden, help you understand its potential and suggest where to begin.
I offer a consultancy service for both domestic and commercial clients, ranging from a short visit to explore ideas through to more detailed advice before undertaking a larger garden project.
Exploring your garden
A consultation gives us an opportunity to walk through the garden together and discuss what you would like to achieve.
We can look at how the space is currently used, what you like about it and which areas you feel need attention. I can then offer practical ideas and suggestions based on the garden itself.
Ideas and inspiration
You may already have a clear idea of what you want, or you may simply know that your garden needs a change.
A consultation can help develop those ideas, whether you are considering new planting, changes to borders, improvements to the layout or ways to make better use of the space.
Planting advice
If your main concern is planting, I can advise on suitable plants, combinations and ways to create greater seasonal interest.
This can be particularly useful for an established garden where the basic layout works but the planting needs refreshing or reconsidering.
Planning future improvements
A consultation can also be a useful first step if you are considering a larger garden project.
We can discuss the potential of the space, possible improvements and the level of design work that may be appropriate before you decide whether to proceed with a full garden design and build.
A practical approach
The purpose of consultancy is to give you useful, considered advice that you can take forward.
Whether you need a few ideas for an existing garden or more detailed guidance before making significant changes, the consultation can help you move forward with greater confidence.
