Landscape Design

To us, the essence of design is using real, practical construction experience to meet a client’s brief. Because we also build what we design, our plans are buildable, sensibly priced and detailed where it matters.

How the design process works

• Site meeting. We meet on site to talk through your brief, how you use the space, your style, practical needs and budget.
• Concept. Most clients have a picture in their head. Our job is to turn that into a workable plan, with layout, levels, materials and planting.
• Plans to suit the job. For smaller projects a schematic plan is often all that’s needed to build from. Larger or more complex projects get fully scaled working drawings.
• Build. Our construction team can take the design straight through to the finished landscape.

Phil Crockett, our principal designer, has a PhD in plant science and a trade background in landscape construction. You get plant choices that will actually thrive on your site, and details that work in the real world.
