Bespoke, High-End Garden Design Services
We create luxury outdoor spaces that seamlessly integrate architecture, landscape and lifestyle.
Our owner, award-winning Chartered Landscape Designer Paul Cowell, sits on RHS show garden selection and judging panels. Paul's process combines creative vision, technical precision and discreet project management, ensuring a refined experience from concept through to completion.
Our design process follows these stages:
1. Consultation
We begin with a private consultation at your property, taking time to understand your lifestyle, architectural context and aspirations. This gives us a chance to get to know you and your ambitions for your garden.
The consultation also allows us to assess the full potential of your land. From views and levels to access, drainage and long-term opportunities, we ensure every design decision is informed and purposeful.
2. Surveying and Topographical
Central to our ability to design and build the garden you aspire to, is understanding the site in detail. Our topographical, soil and other site surveys help us to learn more about your landscape, and allows us to give you advice that is based on an in-depth understanding of the land around your property.
3. Masterplan Concept
We develop a strategic masterplan that brings together form, function and flow across your entire landscape. We take all site-specific factors into this stage, so that what you see is a realistic, practical and buildable design.
Your design will balance aesthetics with practicality, incorporating entertaining spaces, leisure features, planting schemes and architectural elements into a cohesive vision that enhances both your home and its surroundings.
4. Technical and Detailed Design
This stage provides all the technical details needed, including for any structural engineering or utility works. It can also be used in conjunction with your masterplan to support planning applications or discharge of conditions.
These can also be produced independently for other design work, or to enhance and support any existing designs you have.
The technical and detailed design plan includes lighting design for atmosphere, security and usability, that seamlessly integrates with pools, outdoor kitchens, tennis courts or any additional features.
We select suitable planting for your garden setting and cover irrigation plans to help with easy, long-term maintenance. This is particularly useful for clients who are away from the property for long periods.
5. Planting plan & planting schedule
Your planting plan sets out all the plants, trees, shrubs and feature elements that we have selected for your garden, including exact names and details.
Each planting plan is fully specified, balancing seasonal interest, structure, biodiversity and ease of maintenance. It is fully priced, setting out clearly the quantity needed and includes insight on the benefits of various plants.
6. Site coordination
Once you have approved the design and all the plans, we work with you to select and appoint specialist contractors where necessary to support our experienced landscape teams with the build. We manage everything on site and are available at any time to discuss progress and ensure everything is going to plan.
