Design, Layout and Practical Considerations
For gardens that feel awkward, unclear, or underperforming, consultancy can focus on layout and structure rather than full redesign. This may include circulation, views, enclosure, scale, and the relationship between built and planted elements.
​
The emphasis is always on practical solutions that enhance how the garden works and feels, while respecting what is already in place.
Comprehensive Written Reports and Guidance
Following a consultation, we can provide clear, structured written reports. These are designed to be genuinely useful documents, not just summaries, and can be shared with contractors, gardeners, or retained as a long-term reference.
​
Reports may include key observations and recommendations, phased action plans, planting guidance and priorities plus strategic advice for future development.
Consultancy for Large Gardens and Estates
We also offer garden consultancy for larger gardens, estates, and historically layered landscapes. These sites often require a strategic, long-term view that balances conservation, ecology, and ongoing use.
​
Our experience includes working with complex sites where incremental change, sensitive management, and informed decision-making are essential.
Strategic Support for Estate Management
Strategic consultancy supports estate owners, managers, and trustees in making confident, well-informed decisions. This may include prioritising works, setting long-term objectives, or addressing areas of decline without harming the wider landscape.
​
Advice is always proportionate, practical, and grounded in an understanding of how gardens and landscapes function over time.
Meadow Creation and Ecological Planning
Meadow creation and ecological planning are approached with careful consideration of site history, soil conditions, and management capacity. We support projects that enhance biodiversity while remaining appropriate to the character of the landscape.
​
This may include species-rich meadow establishment, ecological enhancements within designed landscapes, long-term management strategies, balancing conservation and biodiversity objectives.
Long-term Development and Phased Improvements
Many gardens and estates benefit from a phased approach to change. Consultancy can help set out a clear framework for long-term development, avoiding piecemeal decisions and ensuring each stage supports the overall vision.
​
This approach is particularly valuable for larger or historic sites where gradual, informed change is preferable to rapid intervention.
