06 — Garden Design & Maintenance

Garden Design & Landscape Maintenance

Gardens planned as space rather than planting, then kept in condition through the year.

Designed garden with layered planting, a clipped lawn and a paved path

A garden is a room with a longer completion date. What is planted in the first season decides what the space looks like in the fifth, so the design has to account for how things grow, not only how they look on the day they go in.

We plan the structure first — levels, routes, hard surfaces, where the sun lands and at what time — then plant into it. That way the garden works as a space before it works as a display, and it keeps working as the planting matures.

Maintenance is part of the same conversation. A design nobody can keep up with becomes a problem rather than an asset, so we are direct about what a scheme will need each year, and we can take that on ourselves.

  • Designed for its fifth year

    Planting is chosen for mature size and habit, not only for how it looks on planting day.

  • Structure before decoration

    Levels, routes and surfaces are resolved first, so the garden works as a space.

  • Honest about upkeep

    We say what a scheme will need each year — and can take on that maintenance ourselves.

Our Process

How garden design & maintenance work runs.

The stages specific to this discipline — each one signed off before the next begins.

  1. 01

    Site Visit

    Aspect, soil, levels, drainage and what the space is currently failing to do.

  2. 02

    Design

    A scheme covering layout, surfaces, planting and lighting, with the reasoning behind it.

  3. 03

    Preparation

    Clearance, levels, drainage, edging and bed preparation.

  4. 04

    Hard Landscaping

    Paths, terraces, steps and structures set out and built.

  5. 05

    Planting & Lighting

    Planting laid out on the ground, adjusted, then set — and lighting run in.

  6. 06

    Maintenance Plan

    A seasonal schedule, carried out by us or handed over to you.

FAQ

Garden Design & Maintenance — your questions.

Something not covered here? Ask us directly and we'll come back with a straight answer.

Do you design gardens as well as maintain them?

Both, and they work best together — a design we will also maintain is a design we have to be realistic about.

Can you take on an overgrown garden?

Yes. Clearance and assessment come first, because what is worth keeping is often only visible once the overgrowth is gone.

Do you install garden lighting?

Yes — our electrical team installs path, planting and feature lighting as part of the same scheme, so cable routes are planned before planting goes in.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance visits?

Yes. Seasonal schedules cover pruning, cutting back, lawn care, clearing and replanting.
