The process of creating a landscape begins with a free initial consultation where we meet, explore the site and discuss what you would like to achieve with my involvement.

I then create a project brief and fee proposal. Next follows the concept design stage where I illustrate what the landscape has the potential to become by giving you a feel for the unique atmosphere of the site, as well as a clear picture of the style of the proposed planting and hard materials. A process of dialogue and refinement crystallises the final design. During this initial design stage various methods are employed, such as digital and physical modelling, sketching, visualisations, plans and moodboards.

The scheme is then developed in detail, with attention to both hard and soft materials. Planting schedules and plans are produced along with detailed technical specifications and drawings to allow contractors and nurseries to quote.

During the construction phase I can manage schedules, budgets, landscape contractors and suppliers. As the ‘hard’ elements come into place I source, select and co-ordinate the planting of the site. I provide comprehensive monthly maintenance advice to keep a garden looking at its very best.

Through a combination of thoughtful, beautiful design and practical attention to detail, I strive to create high-quality, inspiring landscapes that develop and distill over time.
