Bring the outside into your everyday.

Explore how you want to use the garden, the character of the site and the practical constraints. A considered brief guides the design work that follows.

Consider light, soil, exposure and maintenance expectations before selecting plants. Final choices need site-specific assessment.

Look at circulation, seating, shade and connections to the house. Identify technical and approval requirements before construction.

Balance privacy, planting and practical access in a compact garden. Use a focused palette and clear structure to make the space work.

A care plan identifies the tasks, timing and responsibilities appropriate to the actual plants and site conditions.

Walk through the existing garden, note your concerns and identify priorities. Decide where a focused improvement may be more useful than a complete redesign.
