Services
Five areas of work, usually combined on a single project — from the first reading of a site to the planting of the last tree.
Site strategy, levels and structure — the framework a garden is built on.
Reading the site comes first: slope, aspect, wind, water and the way people will move through it. The design work turns that reading into levels, walls, paths, planting zones and the spatial sequence of the garden.
Private gardens designed around how the space will actually be used.
A garden for a family, a courtyard for shade, a terrace for evenings. The design sets the structure, then the planting, then the details that make the space feel finished rather than installed.
Hotel grounds, restaurants and guest-facing outdoor space.
Commercial landscapes have to work every day of the year and look considered from the first season. The work covers guest circulation, shade, seasonal interest and planting that can be maintained to a realistic schedule.
Planting palettes built on the island’s climate and flora.
Planting is designed as a community, not a list: what holds the wind, what gives structure in winter, what carries colour, and what will still be there in ten years. Species are chosen for the site’s exposure and water regime.
A focused review of an existing garden or a project in progress.
For clients who already have a site, a plan or a garden that is not working. A consultation identifies what to keep, what to change and in what order — useful before committing to construction or a large plant order.
Process
The site, the brief, the budget and the constraints — before anything is drawn.
Levels, aspect, wind, soil and existing planting. What the place already offers.
Layout, structure and planting developed together, reviewed with you in stages.
Plant sourcing, setting out and coordination while the garden is built.
Scope
Some clients need a complete garden designed and built. Others need a planting plan, a second opinion on an existing design, or help choosing plants that will survive a particular exposure. Both are valid starting points.
