Garden Design
A clear, costed plan for your outdoor space — designed by the people who will actually build it.
A good design saves money by getting decisions right before anyone lifts a shovel. We map how your space should flow — lawn, paving, beds, screening, lighting — and hand you a plan you can build in one hit or stage over time.
Who this service suits
For new builds starting from bare dirt, renovations where the outside should match the inside, and owners who have ideas but want them resolved into something buildable and costed before committing.

Preparation & drainage
Design is where drainage problems get solved cheaply. We design levels, falls and drainage runs into the plan from day one, because moving water on paper costs nothing compared to moving it after the paving is down.
Residential & commercial
Most design work is residential, from courtyards to full blocks. For developers and commercial clients we design durable, low-maintenance landscapes that survive real-world use and fit maintenance budgets.

Common questions
Why design with a landscaper instead of a design studio?
Because we build what we draw, our plans are grounded in real costs and buildability. No features you'll never afford; no details that fall apart on site.
Can I build the design in stages?
Yes — staging is one of the main reasons to have a plan. Structure first, surfaces second, planting last, each stage complete in itself.
What do I need before the first meeting?
Just your ideas and honest budget range. Photos of gardens you like help; we'll bring the practicality.
