Garden Design & Consultancy Services – Bristol
Based in central Bristol, I provide expert garden design and consultancy for both urban and rural gardens across Gloucestershire, Somerset, Wiltshire, the Cotswolds, and South West.
Whether you require a one-off consultation, planting plan or a comprehensive masterplan, my practice is dedicated to addressing the specific needs of each project.
Consultancy
For those seeking guidance or inspiration, a consultancy session offers an opportunity to consider what is possible in your garden. During a site visit, we discuss ideas, assess the space, and identify opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed. It is a practical and thoughtful way to explore ideas and understand the potential of your garden.
Concept Design
Following our conversation and site visit, I translate what we’ve discussed into a concept design — a creative and practical starting point that includes a scale plan, sketches, and mood boards. It’s designed to give you a sense of how your garden could be shaped, planted, and experienced.
a. 'Concept Plan' (A1 drawing)
b. 3D sketches
c. Materials and planting mood boards.
(A topographical survey maybe required to form a concept design).
Detailed Outline Plan/Masterplan
‘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
e. Planting plans and schedules.
(A topographical survey is required to form a detailed outline plan).
Planting Design
A planting plan is a key part of any major garden design project, fully integrated within the overall design.
I can also provide new planting plans for clients with existing hard landscaping who wish to refresh or enhance their garden.
Planting design includes the following;
a. Drawn detailed planting plans
