Our design process

Five stages from first conversation to planting-ready plans


1

Initial enquiry

Tell us about your plot, drainage concerns, and how you use the space. We respond within two working days with a recommended starting point—often a €140 site walk.

2

Site walk

A ninety-minute visit to assess levels, light patterns, soil texture, and existing planting. You receive written notes on drainage, surface choices, and planting direction.

3

Concept layout

We develop a layout plan showing planting beds, gravel areas, hedge positions, and rain-aware level changes. Presented with a planting palette suited to Cork's climate.

4

Revision and refinement

Two revision rounds included in full packages. We adjust bed sizes, gravel zones, hedge species, and seating placement based on your feedback.

5

Final delivery

PDF layout plan, planting schedule, gravel and surface specifications, and contractor brief notes. Optional implementation coordination at €110/h.


What we need from you

  • Property address and approximate plot dimensions
  • Photos of the current garden or courtyard
  • Any known drainage or flooding issues
  • How you use the space—seating, cooking, children, pets
  • Planting preferences and maintenance appetite

What you receive

  • Scaled layout plan in PDF
  • Planting schedule with quantities
  • Gravel and surface specifications
  • Drainage fall and level-change notes
  • Hedge species and spacing guide
  • Contractor brief for implementation

Most projects start with a conversation—no commitment required until you choose a package.
