Garden design services
I offer a range of services for homeowners based in Brighton & Hove and Sussex, tailored to your garden, your lifestyle and how you want to use your space.
I’m always happy to discuss which approach will work best for you.
Garden Design Consultation
A practical, on-site session for small projects, initial ideas, or to explore how a full garden design could enhance your space. The session is relaxed and discursive with a focus on problem-solving, creative solutions, and clear next steps.
You can also choose to receive a consultation report, summarising the visit with key priorities, suggested timings, and recommendations for materials or planting.
£120 for a 60-minute on-site consultation (This fee is deducted if you proceed to a full design)
£120 for a consultation report
