Garden concepts are discussion aids. Site surveys, plant suitability, technical design, construction, permits and regulated work require qualified local professionals and separate agreements.

Good questions, clear answers

A little clarity
before we begin.

Do you build the garden?

This website introduces a concept and planning service. Construction, engineering, permits and installation require a separate agreement with the appropriate local professionals.

Will the suggested planting work in my climate?

The garden finder suggests a visual direction, not a plant specification. Local climate, soil, water and plant suitability must be checked for your site.

Can a small courtyard be a complete project?

Yes. Start with the way you want to use the space, the light it receives and your priorities. Size alone does not define a useful brief.

Are the photographs actual completed gardens?

The images are illustrative garden concept studies. They show an atmosphere and approach, rather than named customer projects.
