Eco-friendly garden design
What's the process to have my garden designed?
Our garden design process is structured to ensure your vision is fully realised while prioritising sustainability and functionality.
1.Free Consultation & Site Visit
We begin with a complimentary consultation and site visit. Our experienced designer will assess your space, discuss your needs and preferences, and outline key considerations such as budget and timescales.
2.Site Survey & Base Plan
Next, we conduct a detailed site survey, mapping out the layout, orientation, existing structures, and plant life. This data forms the foundation of your base plan.
3.Concept & Design Development
Using your brief, we create concept boards to shape the design. You’ll be involved throughout the process to ensure the final plan aligns with your vision. Sustainability and environmental responsibility are always at the core of our designs.
4.Build & Project Management
Once the design is finalised, our trusted landscape team will bring your garden to life. Canopy and Bloom will oversee the entire project, providing a single point of contact from start to finish.
