Concept & Master Planning
We begin each engagement with a collaborative workshop to explore your vision, site history, and functional needs—from outdoor entertaining to wildlife habitats. Detailed CAD master plans and 3D flythroughs illustrate spatial relationships, circulation patterns, and focal points. Cultural and ecological narratives inform the arrangement of terraces, pathways, and water features. Phasing schedules and transparent budgeting keep projects on track and on budget. This holistic front-end planning prevents costly revisions and ensures every element harmonises with your lifestyle and local context.
Softscape & Planting Design
Prioritising native and pollinator-friendly species, our planting schemes weave multi-layered plant communities that provide year-round interest. We create dynamic compositions of grasses, perennials, shrubs, and specimen trees—each selected for site conditions, maintenance levels, and seasonal colour. Soil-amelioration protocols, mycorrhizal inoculants, and organic mulch applications establish strong root systems and healthy ecosystems. Hand-planted installations and protective guards ensure high establishment rates. Follow-up maintenance plans include pruning schedules, fertilisation guides, and pest-monitoring strategies to foster thriving, resilient plantings.
Hardscape & Structural Installations
Our skilled masons and carpenters build bespoke structures—dry-stack stone walls, timber pergolas, and steel-frame arbours—to define spaces and provide enduring form. We source reclaimed York stone, locally milled oak, and weather-resistant composite decking to marry beauty with longevity. Permeable paving, gravel paths, and timber boardwalks manage stormwater and reduce heat islands. Integrated seating, garden rooms, and fire-pit areas enhance functionality. Every hardscape element is engineered for durability and ease of maintenance, creating functional outdoor “rooms” that flow seamlessly into the planting.
Water Management & Sustainable Drainage
Our SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) approach employs rain gardens, swales, and underground attenuation tanks to capture and treat surface water on-site. We design biodiverse wetlands and pond features that filter pollutants, attenuate flood peaks, and support frogs, dragonflies, and local flora. Permeable block paving and gravel channels connect to planting basins, improving infiltration. Automated rainwater-harvesting systems supply irrigation, reducing mains consumption by up to 60%. This integrated water-management strategy protects downstream ecosystems and enhances your garden’s ecological performance.
Landscape Lighting & Ambient Design
Thoughtful illumination extends garden enjoyment into the evening while minimising light pollution. Low-voltage LED fixtures—path-markers, accent uplights, and concealed well lights—highlight key features and ensure safe circulation. Astronomical timers and daylight sensors automate operation, conserving energy and protecting nocturnal wildlife. Warm-white tones enhance plant textures and architectural elements, creating inviting night-time atmospheres. Custom-fabricated metal lanterns and integrated step lights balance aesthetics with practicality, turning your garden into a magical nocturnal retreat.
Maintenance, Seasonal Revitalisation & Aftercare
To preserve design intent and plant health, we offer tiered maintenance packages—ranging from seasonal tidy-ups to comprehensive Year-Round Stewardship plans. Certified horticulturists conduct quarterly site health audits: soil-nutrient analyses, irrigation-system checks, and plant-vigor assessments. Tasks include pruning, mulching, feed application, and pest-management interventions. Seasonal color rotations—bulbs in spring, summer annual displays, and winter interest plantings—keep your garden vibrant year-round. Emergency response services handle storm damage or vandalism promptly, safeguarding your investment and maintaining continuous beauty.
