Design

We embarked on a full overhaul of our garden with Antonio… It was a real transformation from an overgrown mess to something we’ve been really able to enjoy this spring! Antonio did the whole thing, from the collaborative design process to the clearing of the land to the landscaping and build of the pergola and decking. Antonio was friendly and considerate throughout, always conscientious to do things in the best way possible for us and on hand with advice. It was a pleasure meeting him and we wouldn’t hesitate in using him again.

Design

I am a qualified garden designer with a degree in architecture and many years practical experience in domestic architecture.

I am passionate about design and about gardening. I am committed to provide professional garden design service, expert horticultural advice and excellent customer care.

With my background in Architecture I know all too well the need for good good design,  good project management, good communication, an eye for detail and above all consideration for your needs.

Having your garden designed is the best way to ensure that you get the garden that you really want. Whether you envision a wildlife heaven, a cottage garden, a place for the whole family to play and relax, an outdoor extension of your house or a cool minimalist space, it all starts with a good design.

My approach to is to start by listening to your needs and working with you in building your dream vision of a living garden you can enjoy.

Each garden is unique and each client has different sets of needs and priorities. Therefore I try to taylor the design process to each unique situation, however the process follows roughly the following steps: 

  1. First initial visit

I will come to visit the garden and briefly discuss with you your ideas and needs.

  1. Initial design 

If you decide to employ my services, the initial visit will be followed by an in depth conversation about your priorities which will help form the brief for the project. At this stage I will also carry out a full survey of the garden and create 2D sketches and 3D visualisations where you will see different design options for you to choose from. 

  1. Full design

Following your input and feedback, I will develop the full landscape and planting design.  

  1. Construction

We build your perfect garden!

Feel free to contact me to discuss your ideas and see how I can help you achieve your dream garden!
