Creating tailored landscapes that are architecturally responsive and horticulturally grounded—enhancing not only their surroundings, but the life lived within them.
Trained at the London College of Garden Design, my approach to landscape design is grounded in a deep appreciation for quality materials and thoughtfully curated planting. I strive to craft spaces that are not merely beautiful, but immersive, purposeful, and designed to resonate beyond their individual elements.
It’s a genuine privilege to collaborate with clients across a diverse range of projects—from intimate inner-city courtyards to expansive country estates and refined boutique developments. Each space presents an opportunity to shape something deeply considered and personal.
CONSULTATION
Creating a garden is a personal journey, whether part of a new build or a refresh of an existing space. My process begins with an on-site consultation to discuss your vision, needs, and how you want the landscape to feel and function.
Afterward, you’ll receive:
A tailored mood board capturing the design tone and intent
A detailed proposal outlining scope and fees
CONCEPT PLAN
This phase establishes the foundational vision for your landscape’s layout and spatial organization. It includes:
A Site Survey: A thorough assessment of all existing site elements, informed by any architectural plans you provide.
A Concept Design: 2D layout drawings defining spatial zones and key features such as paving, garden beds, and feature trees.
Mood Boards: A curated visual presentation of the proposed design aesthetic, including reference images and material and plant palettes to convey the intended look and feel.
A Design Review Meeting: An on-site meeting to present the concept plans, discuss options, and gather your feedback.
Concept Redraft: A revision to the concept plan based on any feedback, with a final concept plan delivered digitally for approval.
LANDSCAPE DESIGN
This phase refines the concept design into a specified and quantified landscape plan. It includes:
A detailed Landscape Design Plan: Comprehensive documentation specifying plant varieties, quantities, paving types, lighting, and outdoor furnishings.
Plant and Material Profiles: A guide to the selected palette of plants and materials used in the design.
A design Review Meeting: An onsite meeting to present and discuss the landscape plans.
A design redraft: A final edit based on your feedback from the review meeting, with plans delivered digitally for approval.
The result is a detailed design package ready to guide the implementation process.
