Planting Design Process

These are the various steps we’ll take together on your journey to the perfect garden.

Consultation and site analysis 

During the initial consultation with one of our skilled planting designers, we will take the time to discuss and explore various concepts tailored specifically for your outdoor space. Whether you already have a clear vision in mind or are seeking guidance and inspiration, our team is here to offer expert suggestions on different styles, as well as engage in thoughtful discussions about colours and forms that will complement your needs and preferences.

Plant Selection

We take pride in our expertise in plant selection and our longstanding partnerships with multiple esteemed nurseries. We have honed our skills to curate impeccable plant combinations that perfectly suit the unique environment of your garden. Our years of hands-on experience is what sets us apart in the industry.

Pin board

We will provide you with a pin board that encompasses a range of broad concepts and initial ideas for plants. However, we encourage you to actively engage with this pin board and add your own thoughts, suggestions, and inspirations. By doing so, you will not only make the garden design process more collaborative but also allow us to better understand your preferences. This will help us create a garden that encapsulates your unique taste.

Plant List & Maintenance Report

Our plant lists are not simply comprised of mere pictures and names. They are meticulously crafted plant profiles that offer an in-depth understanding of each plant. With every plant, we go beyond the surface level and provide a comprehensive report, highlighting their key features and offering essential information on how to effectively maintain them
We take it a step further and provide you with a personalized maintenance plan. This plan serves as a guiding tool for you or your gardener, ensuring that you have all the necessary knowledge and resources to identify and care for each plant in your garden.

Concept Drawing

This hand-drawn representation of intention serves as a valuable tool for conceptualizing the overall design. With its emphasis on key elements, such as structure and form, this three-dimensional impression offers a glimpse into the potential feel of the final planting. While it may not showcase specific details, it lays the groundwork for a captivating and immersive garden experience.

Preparing The Ground

We understand the significance of meticulous preparation when it comes to the planting stage. The attention to detail we place on this step is often underestimated by many, yet it plays a vital role in determining the ultimate success of the planting design. By dedicating ample time and effort to preparing the planting area, we pave the way for the plants to thrive and flourish in their new environment.

Planting plan

The second step is the design process. We will come up with a planting design that suits you and your garden. All the plant choices are tailored to fit the conditions of your space, such as the soil type, amount of sun etc as well as offering alternatives to plants that you love but may not be suited to the space.
