One-to-one Design Session — 90 minutes

A focused, 90-minute one-to-one design session with me gives you the chance to discuss and begin planning your garden in detail. This session is ideal if you want professional guidance, clear next steps, and practical ideas tailored to your outdoor space.

What the session covers

  • Full discussion of your objectives: how you use the garden, lifestyle needs, preferred moods and styles.

  • Site review: existing layout, levels, boundaries, access, views, microclimates, soil and drainage considerations (based on your description and photos or an on-site visit if arranged).

  • Hard landscaping: paths, terraces, patios, walls, steps, fencing, lighting and drainage solutions.

  • Planting and planting structure: plant types, seasonal interest, scale and layering, maintenance needs and planting palettes suited to your site.

  • Functional elements: seating areas, entertaining zones, play or pet areas, vegetable/edible growing, storage, irrigation and accessibility.

  • Sustainable options: water conservation, biodiversity, native planting, pollinator-friendly choices and materials.

  • Budgeting and priorities: realistic cost indicators, phasing options and where to invest for greatest impact.

  • Next steps: sketch ideas, initial layout options, a recommended brief for more detailed plans or an on-site survey.

How it works

  • Preparation: Send photos, a rough plan or measurements, and notes about your priorities before the session. This allows us to use the 90 minutes efficiently.

  • Format: Choose an in-person visit (if available in your area) or a remote video call. For on-site sessions we can walk the garden together; for remote sessions we’ll use the images and measurements you provide.

  • Deliverables: At the end of the session you’ll receive a written summary of recommendations, priority actions, and suggested next steps. If requested, I can follow up with a simple sketch or a quote for a full design package.

Who benefits

  • Homeowners wanting a clear direction before committing to a full design.

  • People needing a practical plan for a specific area (patio, border, front garden).

  • Those seeking expert advice on planting choices, materials or budget management.

Practical details

  • Duration: 90 minutes.

  • Cost: Fee confirmed at booking; this can be offset against a subsequent full design commission if you proceed.

  • Booking: Appointments available across Kent, Tunbridge Wells, Wadhurst, East Grinstead, Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Southborough, Wanstead, London, and surrounding South East England locations.

A one-to-one session provides concentrated, practical guidance so you leave with clarity, workable ideas, and a plan to move your garden project forward.
