garden design & build

A garden concept design by Gardens by Knight

My garden design and build service involves me producing a design along with construction drawings and planting plans, liaising with landscapers to build the garden, and then planting it all up.

It starts by me coming over to see your garden for a chat about what you need and how I can help. This is a free visit and there’s no obligation to go ahead with any work.

If you like the sound of my ideas for your garden, I’ll produce a 3D concept plan to show how I could transform your garden into the space of your dreams.

Once you’re happy I’ll then produce construction plans for the hard landscaping builders and detailed planting plans (stuffed full of your favourite plants). I’ll then liaise with the landscaping builders during the build and will do the planting myself to ensure your garden looks fabulous.

Alternatively I also offer ‘just the design’ where you handle the build and planting yourself if you’d prefer.


planting plans for existing Beds

If your budget does not stretch to a full redesign of your outdoor space and instead you would like planting beds to be designed and planted then I can:

• Design new planting beds from scratch

• Revamp an existing planting scheme

I can then supply the plants, arrange their delivery and plant everything up for you.


aftercare & maintenance

After your garden is built and planted I can then provide ongoing aftercare to ensure it grows and develops as best it should.

All plants need some level of nurturing in their first few years to help them get established, so my small team of RHS trained gardeners can come on a monthly or quarterly basis to tend to your garden.

I love helping clients learn about the new plants in their garden and seeing the passion for their new garden develop.
