Garden design, planting design and consultancy services
Based in central Bristol, Rebecca Bernstein Garden Design provides 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 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 1-3 hour site visit, Rebecca discusses ideas, assesses the space, and identifies opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed. It is a practical way to understand your garden’s potential.
Concept Design
Following the consultation and site visit, Rebecca translates the brief into a concept design.
The concept design provides:
a. 'Concept Plan' (A1 drawing)
b. 3D sketches
c. Materials and planting mood boards
(A topographical survey may be required to form a concept design).
The concept design shows how your garden could be shaped, planted, and experienced, providing a vision of the finished space.
Detailed Outline Plan

a. Detailed Outline Plan (Scaled A1 drawing)

d. Scope of Works
e. Planting plans and schedules.
