Process
Initial Consultation
Every project begins with a personal visit to your garden. I take the time to understand its unique character, listen to your ideas, and get a feel for how you live in and around the space. Your vision sits at the heart of everything. From this first conversation, I craft a tailored proposal that reflects your aspirations down to the finest detail.
Site Survey
A thorough site survey lays the foundation for precise, considered design. Working alongside skilled surveyors, I map the existing landscape in detail, including levels, boundaries, services, and established planting, combining technical accuracy with my own on-the-ground analysis to reveal the full potential of your garden.
Outline Design
This is where your garden begins its transformation on paper. Every concept is brought to life through detailed 2D plans and 3D renderings, offering a visual journey through the proposed design. These are scalable and easily refined, ensuring each element aligns perfectly with your vision before we move into the finer details.
Construction Detailing
With the design approved, I prepare precisely detailed construction drawings that translate every design intention into buildable reality. These drawings ensure the project can be accurately costed and tendered. Rather than employing a team of contractors, I work closely with trusted professionals to guarantee quality and precision at every stage.
Planting Design
Every garden deserves a planting scheme as considered as its hard landscaping. Each plan is tailored to your garden's conditions and your personal taste, accompanied by a comprehensive schedule detailing species, quantities, and sizes. I also offer a complete plant supply and planting service, selecting, sourcing, and installing every plant to ensure it thrives in your garden's unique environment.
Aftercare
A garden's story doesn't end once the last plant is in the ground. It begins a new chapter of growth and evolution. I offer a tailored aftercare service to guide your garden through its critical first seasons, ensuring it not only establishes well but genuinely flourishes for years to come.
Rebecca Chamberlain
As a lifetime gardener and professional garden designer, I understand the profound importance of outdoor spaces, and their ability to restore, inspire, and enrich our everyday lives. I believe thoughtful design creates places that serve both people and nature, spaces that are resilient and sympathetic to the ecological balance around them.
Every aspect of horticulture and landscaping is considered in my design process, from initial concept and feasibility through to implementation, build, and the long-term legacy of the project. The ethos behind all my work is simple: to create beautiful, sustainable gardens you can enjoy, celebrate, and live in harmony with the natural world.
