Our Garden Design & Landscaping Process.
01. Discovery Call or Zoom Consultation
We start by listening. What do you need from your garden? What’s not working? What would you love to do differently?
02. Site Survey & Design Proposal
We visit your garden, observe its shape, aspect and conditions, and prepare a tailored concept with sketches, mood boards, and investment options.
03. Detailed Design & Specification
Once we’ve agreed a direction, we develop detailed plans including materials, layout, levels and planting. All designed for build feasibility and style.
04. Landscape Construction & Build
Our team begins work on-site, constructing patios, terraces, retaining walls, steps, edges, drainage and infrastructure — all built with care and durability in mind.
05. Planting & Outdoor Features
We finish with layered planting schemes, feature trees, lawn shaping, and outdoor elements like water features, pergolas, and lighting — ready for the seasons ahead.
06. Aftercare & Garden Growth
We offer seasonal visits and optional aftercare services to help your garden thrive — from pruning to plant replenishment.
From start to finish, Craig personally oversees every step.

“I am absolutely delighted with my garden - it has completed transformed our lives. I asked Craig to help the house and garden feel connected, with a design that was child friendly with space for dining and he has done that and so much more - he has created something I never could have imagined that is both beautiful and flexible - from eating and entertaining to relaxing or exploring and playing with my son. Working with Craig and his team has been a pleasure - they are professional, punctual, really responsive and work to a very high standard.”
