Garden Design & Consultancy Services – Bristol
Based in central Bristol, Rebecca Bernstein Garden Design provides expert garden design and consultancy for urban and rural gardens across Gloucestershire, Somerset, Wiltshire, the Cotswolds, and the South West.
Whether you are looking for a one-off consultation, a planting plan, or a Detailed Outline Plan, Rebecca works closely with each client to create gardens that respond thoughtfully to their site, architecture, surrounding landscape, and lifestyle.
Consultancy
For those seeking guidance or inspiration, a consultancy session offers the opportunity to explore what is possible in your garden. During a site visit 1-3hrs, Rebecca discusses ideas, assesses the space, and identifies opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed. It is a practical and thoughtful way to understand your garden’s potential.
Concept Design
Following the consultation and site visit, Rebecca translates the client brief into a concept design — a creative and practical starting point. The concept design provides:
a. 'Concept Plan' (A1 drawing)
b. 3D sketches
c. Materials and planting mood boards.
(A topographical survey maybe required to form a concept design).
The concept design gives a clear sense of how your garden could be shaped, planted, and experienced, providing a tangible vision of the finished space.
Detailed Outline Plan
‘Detailed Outline Plan’ is a fully scaled drawing of your garden and is the basis from which your contractor/landscaper will build your garden. ‘Detailed Outline Plan’ provides the following;
a. Detailed Outline Plan (Scaled A1 drawing)
b. Documents required for the contractor tendering process
c. Construction drawings for your contractor
d. Scope of Works for your contractor
