Design Process

Consultation
Our first meeting and walk around your garden. A conversation about your requirements, lifestyle, and vision.

Concept
Initial working sketch suggesting the new garden layout, alongside a booklet of indicative images that convey the feel and character of the garden, with suggested planting palettes and hard materials.

On site

Plant Sourcing
Plants are sourced by Rupert and may include hand-selecting key specimen trees.

Tender
We work closely with trusted contractors from the outset and design to a fixed budget. Designs can also be issued to additional contractors for comparison quotes if required.

Site Monitoring
Rupert is hands-on during garden builds and present for key layout and planting days, arranging plants himself and overseeing details such as path alignment and boulder placement.
