From design to planted garden

The Gold package is for those who want a complete service. Not just a set of drawings to hand to a contractor, but a garden that actually exists at the end of the process.

I handle everything: the design, the planting plan, sourcing exactly the right plants, and attending on site to supervise the planting. What goes in is what was designed. Nothing is left to interpretation.

This is particularly valuable if you want certainty: that the species, quantities, and spacing are precisely as intended, and that someone who designed the garden is present to make sure it's built correctly.

You step in. Everything is where it should be. The garden can begin.

Typical project cost

+ VAT, depending on garden size and complexity. Fixed-price packages, no hidden costs. I'm happy to give you a clear, honest indication before anything is arranged.

Not included

Ongoing garden maintenance (recommendations provided)

I was worried that wanting a wildlife-friendly garden meant giving up any sense of order. Sally showed me that was never really true. We have bees, birds, and hedgehogs, and the garden still feels calm and cared-for. I'd never have found that balance without her.

Questions about the Gold package

How much does the Gold package cost?

Gold projects typically start from £6,000 + VAT, depending on garden size and complexity. The price includes everything: design, planting plan, plant sourcing, and on-site planting supervision. I'm happy to give you a clear, honest indication before anything is arranged. Fixed-price packages, no hidden costs.

What does on-site planting supervision mean?

I attend your garden on planting day to oversee the work. I make sure every plant goes in exactly where it was designed to go, at the right depth, with the right spacing. This is the difference between a planting plan on paper and a garden that works from the first season. Nothing is left to interpretation.

How is Gold different from Silver?

Silver gives you the full design and planting plan. Gold adds plant sourcing (I find exactly the right specimens from trusted nurseries) and on-site planting supervision (I'm there when the plants go in). You also get a post-planting visit and settling-in guidance. If you want to step into a finished garden without managing the planting yourself, Gold is the right choice.

Do you source the plants yourself?

Yes. I source plants from trusted nurseries I've worked with for years. I choose specific specimens — not just the right species, but the right size, form, and condition. This level of selection makes a real difference to how the garden looks and performs from the start.

Do I need the consultation first?

Yes. The consultation is always the starting point, for every project. It gives me the information I need to design well, and it gives you the information to choose the right package with confidence. It also counts toward the overall project, so nothing is wasted.
