Garden Consultation
Ideas and Advice for Your Garden
Not sure where to start with your garden?
If your garden needs some direction, but you don’t need a complete design, I offer garden consultations with practical ideas and professional guidance to help you make the most of your space.
A consultation can help you look at your garden with fresh eyes, explore what could work better and decide what changes would make the biggest difference.
- Reviewing your existing garden
- Exploring garden style and priorities
- Advising on layout and use of space
- Finding practical solutions to garden problems
- Producing sketches and design ideas for specific features
- Identifying plants and providing horticultural advice

How it Works
Talk about your garden
We discuss how you use your garden, what is and isn’t working, and what you would like to achieve.
Review the garden
I look at the existing layout, planting and any particular areas, features or problems you would like help with.
Ideas & direction
We explore practical ideas and possible solutions, including sketches or small-scale design ideas where useful.
A consultation can be a one-off service or the starting point for further garden design or development.
Examples of consultation work
Sketches, planting advice and ideas for individual spaces.
Need a complete garden design?
I offer garden consultations across Cumbria and the Lake District, but if you’re looking for a more complete design service, I can take your garden from initial ideas through to a detailed design ready to take forward.
