Our design services

  • Full Service Garden Design

    Every project begins with an on-site consultation, where we take the time to walk the garden with you, understand your needs and aspirations, and discuss how you’d like to use the space. Following the visit, we prepare a written brief alongside a tailored fee estimate, giving you a clear sense of the scope and potential costs before design work begins.

  • Planting brings the garden to life, adding seasonal interest, structure, texture, and atmosphere. For clients who do not require a full garden design, we offer planting design as a standalone service — ideal for refreshing existing borders or reimagining part of a garden.

  • Our design consultancy service is ideal for clients who do not require a full garden design but are looking for professional guidance and fresh ideas. This 90-minute in-person visit, conducted by Sam and Laura, is available for gardens within approximately 1 hour of Norwich and is tailored to your specific needs.
