Our process is simple and tailored to you.

Every garden starts with an idea — and a plan that makes it come to life. If you’re designing for a new build, renovating an established garden, or needing professional guidance on planting in challenging spots, I can help you create an outdoor space that feels beautiful, functional, and effortless to enjoy.

We streamline the entire journey, or we can tailor our services to what you really need.

  • Planting design - style, structure, year-round interest, and

  • Project management - to take the stress out of decisions and delivery.

You’ll know what to do next, what to prioritise, and how to bring it all together.

Coastal garden in Bay of Plenty

  • We start with a concept which is achieved in collaboration with the client to create your own unique garden.

    We supply technical design plans of the garden drawn to scale showing the hard landscaping and planting areas, including recommendations for materials and suppliers. These are either hand drawn in detail or CAD generated.

  • Colour, texture, scent and seasonality are key components of planting. We use our horticultural knowledge to combine plants that reflect the style, mood and aspect of your garden so that it looks its best in all seasons. The environment is important to us, we ensure our gardens incorporate good sustainability practises using native plants and water saving techniques.

    We produce scale drawings of the planted areas showing the name, precise position and number of each plants. We can also include a plant maintenance schedule to help you care for your plants once planted.

  • Once you have the design, we can help you bring it to life.

    We can continue working with you past the design phase to source and oversee hand-picked contractors and suppliers involved in the construction of the garden, ensuring the work is done according to the plans and to a high standard.
