The Design Process

Initial Consultation: I'll meet with you to discuss your vision, needs, and budget. We'll explore your desired style, preferred plants, and how you envision using your garden. This is your chance to let me know what you'd really like, so it's great if you have photos of gardens you've seen online or in person for us to discuss as inspiration.

Site Survey: I'll conduct a thorough site survey, taking into account factors like sunlight, soil conditions, existing features, and any potential challenges. This is an essential account of the garden as it exists.

Concept Development: Based on our discussions and the site survey, I'll develop an initial design concept tailored to your specific needs and the unique character of your garden.

Proposal: I'll present you with the concept design proposal. This will include a plan that covers the overall theme and layout of the proposed garden.

Feedback and Design Refinement: Plans will be tweaked and plants and materials selected based on your feedback.

This is where things really get exciting: Using state of the art technology I will create a virtual 3D model of the proposed garden. This will bring you vision to life and give you an idea of what to expect from the new garden once it's established.

These are the plans and drawings referenced by contractors during the construction of the garden. They are vital to accurately lay out the hard materials and plants. Essentially they are the blueprints that will bring your new garden to life!

Construction: I can help you find trusted local contractors for the hard landscaping. Once the groundwork is complete, I'll personally handle the planting, bringing your garden vision to vibrant life.

Aftercare: I spent many years running a garden maintenance business and know a thing or two about keeping gardens looking their best year round! While I can't offer weekly services, I am able to make visits on a semi-regular basis to supplement your regular gardening. Also, I'm only a phone call away if you ever have any questions. I like to ensure all the gardens I design continue to look their best for years to come!
