All gardens great and small

A bit about Kate

Experience has taught me that every garden, no matter how small, has the potential to be a beautiful, useable and peaceful space.

On larger scale projects, my love of plants can be let loose. I can create a traditional formal garden or bring some contemporary flare to your countryside home. Whatever your style I always prioritise the needs of my clients and consider the setting and environment, resulting in a brand new garden that feels as though it should have always been there.

I am RHS-qualified landscape designer who has over 20 years of experience in horticulture and design. Drawing on a background in art and design, I use creativity with practical, sustainable ideas to craft gardens that are both beautiful and functional.

My aim is to create with the help of my team of skilled landscapers, beautiful and atmospheric gardens that reflect the personal style and practical needs of my clients. At the same time I strive to enhance the architecture of the building and/or the surrounding countryside. I have created a wide range of gardens from contemporary to traditional and small courtyards to larger gardens.

My design philosophy is to use: Clean and simple lines, Bold planting and plenty of textural interest. Materials suited to the architecture of the house, the personal style, practical needs and budget of my clients.

Call me or send us an email to discuss your project.

1. Initial Consultation

​A chance for us to meet you to discuss your requirements, look around the garden and assess what the project might entail.

6. Planting Plans

A detailed planting plan to support the Master Plan is provided showing plant varieties, spacing and maintenance requirements

5. Master Plan

A fully rendered and scaled design will be produced along with supporting construction drawings, site sections and a specification of works.

4. Design Concept

​Information gathered from both the site survey and client brief will allow me to present you with a design concept. We can then discuss the plan and make any necessary adjustments

3. Site Survey

On acceptance of the quotation I will carry out a full site survey. This includes a topographical survey, soil analysis, study of existing services, any site restrictions and then a contract is signed by both parties.
