Sage Gardens Services

We offer a range of services including garden design,  border design and garden development and advice.

All services are bespoke and tailored to your needs.

Garden design

Each garden is unique and an opportunity to become a space you love to be in or look at, and which complements your house and lifestyle. Our process includes…

– Initial consultation to establish a brief

I listen carefully to your ideas and comments, take photos and assess your space and any challenges presenting, and discuss budget. Once your requirements are established you will receive a breakdown of fees for your garden design.

– Site survey

A survey of your garden is made to establish measurements , aspect, soil type and any specific conditions.
– Initial ideas for your garden are discussed with you using rough plans and sometimes a mood board. These are modified to your preferences.

– Final scaled plans

We draw up the plans including construction drawings where required, and specifications for the landscaper.

I can suggest landscapers to build your garden and oversee them if you require.

Planting/border design

The planting in a garden is highly individual. I aim to help you create planting in your garden that you love as a whole garden design, refreshing a tired border, or tackling an area that is more difficult.

– I will arrange a visit to your garden to talk through your thoughts and ideas, as well as your likes/ dislikes, colour and types of plants you prefer.Photos and measurements of the space will be taken and soil and aspect of the garden assessed.

– A palette of plants is researched that thrive in the conditions in your garden and meet your individual preferences. This is sent to you for consideration before a detailed planting plan is drawn up pulling together groups of plants that complement each other and create a harmonious whole.

– Sourcing plants, ordering, setting out and planting for you can all be included in this service. Also included is a free maintenance plan to help you look after your new planting scheme and a visit 3 months post planting to make sure all is well.

Garden development and advice

If you have an area of your garden that is not working as you would like it to, I can offer a consultation visit to discuss it with you.

Alternatively you may wish to develop your garden but not quite know where to start. I offer a package for 1 year where I visit monthly and garden alongside you, making suggestions and showing you how to care for the plants you have, helping you choose new plants , improve the soil, develop habitats for wildlife and create a sustainable place for you to enjoy.
