Garden Design Consultancy

A one-off consultation to help you unlock your garden’s potential

Not quite ready for a full garden design? Maybe you have ideas already but need a second opinion, or you just feel stuck and don’t know where to begin. This one-off consultation is a friendly, practical way to get expert advice—without committing to a full project.

Whether you’re unsure how to shape your space, overwhelmed by options, or simply want to talk through ideas with someone who knows what’s what, this service is a gentle but purposeful step forward.

What’s included:

  • Up to 2 hours on site with me, walking through your garden and discussing whatever's on your mind—layout, planting, materials, styles, problem-solving, or possibilities you haven’t yet considered.

  • A relaxed but expert conversation, where you’re free to ask anything (there are no silly questions!) and I offer insights and ideas tailored to your space and your needs.

  • A short written summary afterwards: clear notes capturing all the key suggestions, ideas and next steps we discussed—so you have a helpful reference to move forward with.

Who it's for:

This consultation is ideal if:

  • You’ve been living with your garden for a while and feel it’s stuck in a rut

  • You’ve got a rough idea of what you want but aren’t sure how to make it work

  • You’re planning changes but want to check they're practical or well thought through

  • You find garden design a bit intimidating and want to dip a toe in the water

  • You’ve never worked with a designer before and just want to talk things through with someone approachable and knowledgeable

You don’t need to have a clear brief or a Pinterest-perfect plan. You just need a garden and a bit of curiosity—we’ll take it from there.

The practicalities:

  • Fee: £295 (fixed price, paid in advance)

  • Includes travel up to 1 hour from KT24 (covering most of Surrey, West Sussex, Hampshire, and South-West London)

  • Optional follow-up support available, charged at my usual hourly rate if needed

  • And if you go on to commission a full design, this consultation fee is deducted from the overall cost

A few helpful extras:

If you have photos, rough sketches, or notes about your ideas, feel free to send them in advance—it helps us make the most of our time together. But equally, if you’re starting from scratch, that’s completely fine.

A friendly word…

I know that starting a conversation about your garden can feel daunting—especially if you're unsure where to begin, or worried about cost or not having the “right” questions. My job is to meet you where you are, listen carefully, and help you see new possibilities. There’s no pressure, no jargon, and no need to tidy up your borders before I arrive!

This isn’t about selling you a big redesign. It’s about giving you ideas, clarity, and the confidence to take the next step—whatever that looks like for you.
