Consultation
Not sure what to do with your garden? A consultation service provided to discuss options to make your garden or empty space work for you. Focus on what species of plant will grow well in the space. How to reconfigure old and tired gardens with updated materials and ergonomic design suggestions.
Concept Plan
Though a process of incremental stages, the concept design is an important stage prior to going into the design process. The process includes examining the architectural and spatial constraints and lay out of the plot, and then to formulate a preliminary design and layout. The next stage will develop the style, layout, planting and materials suitable for the brief.
Design
The creation of a design brief through an initial meeting with the client will to discuss the type of design layout and style. Building the preliminary design will instigate the design process, that will design a space with style, architecture, and the planting scheme.
Planting
Attention to the Horticultural aspect of the design process. The creation of planting schemes though an in-depth understanding of the conditions that plants will grow in. The application of colour theory, garden history and horticultural knowledge in order to design and create a tradition display of colour or a minimalist modern effect.
