Design Philosophy

At the heart of our approach is a commitment to crafting gardens that are as unique as you are.

Our design philosophy focuses on creating harmonious, sustainable gardens that reflect your personal style and the unique characteristics of your space. We prioritise precision and creativity, blending functional design with aesthetic beauty to ensure each garden thrives and evolves over time. Our collaborative process ensures that every detail aligns with your vision and expectations.

1. Site Survey & Analysis

The first essential step in creating your perfect designer garden is accurately surveying your existing space. This involves taking precise measurements and recording levels to ensure the design complements your garden’s unique features.

2. Design & Outline Plan

Next, we’ll develop a detailed sketch plan complemented by mood boards and hand-rendered drawings. These elements not only provide an artistic representation of your final design but also facilitate meaningful discussions and allow us to seek your approval before proceeding.

3. Master Plan & Specification

Once approved, we’ll create a master plan and detailed technical drawings, including dimensions, ground levels, and construction details. We will also prepare a specification document for contractors to estimate and construct your garden.

 

4. Planting Plan

When producing a planting plan, we consider the characteristics of your site, soil type, and the amount of light in your garden. We will also discuss the types of plants and colours you might like. This will all help you choose the right plants for your garden.

5. Project Monitoring

We provide complete project management and on-site supervision to ensure your garden is built to the highest standard. Through regular site visits, we coordinate contractors, monitor progress, and ensure every detail aligns with the design and your expectations.

 

6. Plant Sourcing & Maintenance

After the construction phase, we source, supply, and arrange plants in collaboration with trusted nurseries like Cherry Townsend at kilcoangardens.co.uk. Our careful selection and placement ensure that the planting complements the design and thrives in your garden’s conditions.
