Below are some exmaples of garden and/or planting designs I have produced, for both private clients and to accompany technical drawings for planning applications. The level of detail shown in each plan varies depending on it's purpose, such as sketched concept plans for a garden design, or formal plans detailing exact positioning and number of plants to be used.

After ascertaining how the client would like to use her new garden, these simple concept plans were created to help her decide where she wanted particular features situated, and to choose the overall style. They show ideas for layout and structure of the new garden and include a choice of materials and planting areas.

The client's final choice was a mixture of 2 designs, using the materials from Plan A and the layout from Plan D. A rough planting plan was created to enable me to work out numbers and positioning, and the finished result is visable on the Cottage Garden page of the site.
