Making the most of your outdoor space
“I am passionate about creating beautiful gardens that sit harmoniously in their surroundings. Whether you want to create a haven for wildlife or an oasis of calm to relax in, I can help.”
I am a professional garden designer who creates beautiful gardens for clients in Ilkley and the surrounding area. From new builds with a blank canvas, to properties with mature gardens needing a planting refresh, I work for a range of clients, homes and gardens.
The gardens I design have structure, colour, and texture that can be enjoyed all year round. Gardens need to look beautiful and thrive in our Yorkshire landscape and its sometimes challenging climate and conditions. I showcase a number of gardens I have designed on my Portfolio page, which will give you a feel for my approach.
“ I help homeowners fall in love with their garden again, creating gardens they want.”
Design ethos
While each garden project is inherently different, they tend to follow a similar pathway. By recognising those similarities, I have developed a clear and thorough design process which is applied to my range of services. My role is to guide you through that process, involving you every step of the way so that the garden I design for you reflects your vision, lifestyle and life stage.
Passing my expertise to my clients, I have also learned that the designer – client relationship is vital to create a sustainable vision for them.
How can I help you?
I offer a range of services which have been prepared to give clients different ways of working with me, depending on their budget, timescales and the guidance they need.
My range of services offer complete makeovers to a Unique Garden Design Advice consultation service.
