Not sure where to start with your garden?
A garden audit provides professional, practical advice to help you make the most of your outdoor space.
During a visit to your garden, I will assess the existing planting, and overall potential of the space. Together, we will discuss what's working well, what could be improved and how the garden can better suit your lifestyle and aspirations.
You will receive tailored recommendations on areas such as:
- Planting improvements and plant selection
- Full Planting Plan
- Problem areas and practical solutions
- Layout and flow of the garden
- Seasonal interest and year round appeal
- Colour schemes and planting combinations
How We Work Together
Consultation
You may already have an established garden with areas that need a little bit of TLC, some gaps in the planting that need filling or plants that just aren't performing as you had hoped they would. Some of the Seasons throughout the year may be lacking structure and interest
I can offer a garden audit, where we can discuss the areas for improvement, this may lead to a full planting plan or may be just a few additions and tweaks.
Hand-Drawn Design
My planting plans are bespoke and created especially for you, your garden, its aspect and soil conditions. It can be tailored to incorporate existing plants, creating a harmonious plan which will thrive and complement your mature garden.
Putting It All Together
Once the plans have been approved , I can source the plants and plant them, ensuring that they get off to the best possible start by making sure that the soil is in the very best condition.
From the first consultation with me to the final planting plan, every stage of the process is carefully considered to create a garden that reflects your lifestyle, enhances your property, and brings lasting enjoyment for years to come.
Sarah
I did a full audit of the plants that were in situ making a note of which ones could be repurposed in the new layout. The garden was also measured out in full to enable me to create a soft landscaping design that would work perfectly within the space.
The brief was to create a garden that didn't reveal itself all in one go, a garden that took you on a journey with the plants taking centre stage.
I created several concept sketches which I popped back to see them with. These concept sketches really helped them to visualise how the garden could be transformed and how they could fully immerse themselves in the garden rather than just looking at it from their kitchen window.
I created an additional seating area , consisting of a large wooden bench which had been lovingly used in their previous garden. It was positioned to catch the last rays of sunshine at the end of the day.
During the garden audit it was quite apparent that the quality of the soil had been compromised and the decision was taken to remove the compacted soil and replace it with top quality top soil and soil conditioner.
