Garden Consultation

Got questions about problem weeds?  Want to know the best spot to plant a tree?  Need advice on where to put a pond?  

Arrange for our garden designer to visit your garden and provide a verbal consultation, where you take the notes. The duration of each visit depends on garden size and complexity. The average time is 90 minutes and an hour is the minimum.

You will also receive our ’Essential Plants’ list, of 70+ tried and tested low-maintenance food and wildlife plants. This list will help you get your garden project off to a great start.

Consultation price: £50 for the first hour, then £15 for each subsequent 30 minutes.

"From a two hour consultation I now have a much clearer vision for my garden. How to look after what we already have and new plants that are best suited to the different areas. It's saved me a lot of time in research and trial and error, as well as proving ideas that I would never have thought of without outside expertise. Well worth the investment!" - Jean Hamilton

Simple Garden Design

Our designer walks with you around your garden, discussing your needs, what you want to achieve and what is possible.  

A typical visit is around 90 minutes to two hours long, although it depends on garden size and the nature of the project.

At this stage a draft plan is produced, based upon a site survey that takes lighting and other conditions into account. This is then interpreted into a simple garden plan, which will include the following elements:

  • planting mixes by area
  • spot planting: trees & shrubs
  • ponds, new structures, raised beds & more…

Garden design pricing is based on garden size:

  • £275 for up to 100m2
  • £315 / 200m2
  • £350 / 300m2
  • £390 / 400m2
  • £425 / 500m2

Meet our garden designer

Fran Halsall has been gardening since the age of ten, beginning with a herb patch that ignited her interest in ‘useful’ plants. It was a passion for both nature and design that led Fran to study for an MA in Landscape Architecture at The University of Sheffield. 

 

Fran's speciality is ecological design and landscape management, meaning that she is capable of working at all scales: from back gardens to public parks. Having designed two community growing spaces, for Kenwood Community Growers and for Food Works, Fran is well versed in getting the maximum potential from the land.

Fran combines in-depth plant knowledge, including how wildlife interacts with different species, with practically-focused design. This approach will help you to get the most out of your plot, whatever its size.

Area of service coverage

If your garden or project lies within four miles of the city centre, then mileage is included in the price.

We do serve areas beyond this boundary, however mileage will be charged for each mile outside the service area.  This is to reflect both the additional travel time and increasing cost of fuel.
