Depending on your garden and its specific needs, optional additional elements may be required to ensure that your vision is accurately translated from concept to reality, ensuring a successful implementation and long-term care of your garden tailored to suit.


We provide the following services, outlined below:

On-Site Consultation

  • We visit your garden to look at your aspirations, challenges and your current living space to discover who you are and what is really important to you.
  • We Look at all practical aspects from location, access, geological considerations and how we can move forward to transform your current space into an innovative contemporary garden for you all to enjoy.
  • We will then put together a beautiful 'Garden Transformation plan' with concepts and ideas and a strategy for achieving a stunning new Outdoor Living Space, together with a brief summary of your vision and proposal for our design service.


  • There is a small charge of £195 for the 'Site Consultation' visit, which we will credit back to you if you decide to purchase our 'Full Garden Transformation' service.

"A beautiful garden doesn’t just happen — it’s shaped by vision, refined with thought, and nurtured into life."

Planting Plans

Designed for Lush green contemporary colours and all-year-round enjoyment.


  • Planting transforms a garden, bringing it back to life. Whether adding new plants or reshaping an existing border, thoughtful planting can make all the difference.
  • So, if you are feeling overwhelmed with the idea of rejuvenating your garden space or have a few ideas but don’t know where to start, then we can work with you to design a Planting scheme which you will love and which is suited to the light and soil conditions in your garden.
  • With extensive plant knowledge and expertise, we can help address your requirements with a complete redesign, refresh or tweak.
  • We aim to provide a stunning, refreshed look with seasonal interest throughout the year, ensuring your outdoor space flourishes with creative flair and knowledge of plants and conditions. This will give you a wonderful blooming garden.
  • Our Planting plans are designed to suit your style and maintenance preferences.
  • Prices start from £1,495, depending on the size and scope of your project.


What's included:

  • You will receive a detailed planting plan with the exact plant positions and names, accompanied by a schedule listing plant quantities and prices. Symbols represent plant locations so you can understand what you are getting, how many plants you will need, and where they will be located.
  • We then personally select plants from our nursery and source from a network of local growers who can be relied upon to provide good-quality specimens.
  • We provide quotes and plan delivery logistics.
  • Our Verbena Specialist planting team will then plant up your new beautiful garden.
  • We are also happy to stay in touch as your garden matures, offering aftercare and maintenance advice as needed.


"A thoughtfully laid out garden is a living calendar - each plant unfolding in its own season, shaped by vision and care."

Irrigation Plans

Protection against the elements - Invest in your plant's future


Having spent a considerable amount of money on beautiful plants, I would highly recommend an irrigation system for the first few years after planting trees and hedging.

  • As the seasons are unpredictable, we can tailor irrigation plans to meet your requirements, as well as supply materials and installation.
  • Full drawings showing pipe locations and fittings will be provided and will be useful going forward.
  • Full installation by our team where required.


Lighting Plans

Extend your day to enjoy evenings with friends and family.


  • Making the most of our summer evenings, lighting will give your garden a luxury glow and enable you to spend more time enjoying special moments with friends and family.
  • We provide detailed drawings of your garden lighting setup.
  • Our drawing documents can be handed directly to the Electrician to work from.
  • And for you, as the client, to have a good understanding of where you want your lights to be and for future reference.

Project Monitoring

Construction through to Planting


  • From the outset, this is an important role in ensuring the design is followed.
  • So, from the initial setting out to the demolition and construction, regular site visits can be undertaken to monitor the build.
  • This would ensure the design is built according to the specification and plan, assist with any changes, and advise where needed, providing peace of mind and a quality finish.
  • We also assist with ensuring plants are in the right place, quality management, and plant placement.

Bespoke Construction Details

Extra detail for extra care and precision


  • Every garden is unique, and sometimes more technical details are required for any bespoke components which are needed, e.g., water features, koi ponds, and various architectural structures.
  • We can provide detailed plans and specifications for specialist contractors to ensure installation for bespoke components.

Sourcing of Specialist Features

Extra special, extra unique


  • Thoughtful design equals effortless outdoor living where
  • Your garden needs to work for you and is an extension of your lifestyle.
  • So why not add a little bit of extra glamour and sparkle to your external room?
  • We are able to source and supply stunning accessories.
  • From beautiful outdoor furniture and cosy fires to extend your evenings, pergolas and twinkly lights set the scene for a perfect cosy evening or lunch with the family.
  • Bespoke outdoor kitchens, hot tubs, and saunas are just the cherry on the cake.
  • If you are looking for that little bit of extra luxury, we have tried and trusted suppliers and a great team to create your own special retreat or wow kitchen!

Our Plant Nursery

Access to our Extra special, Extra Unique Plants and Trees


  • You will have access to beautiful perennials, shrubs, and trees from our own nursery and a chance to see what they look like in situ.
  • Most have been trialled and tested in my garden, so with knowledge and an understanding of their needs locally, we can recommend plants for various locations and soil types.
  • 'Right place, right plant'.
