The Garden Design Process
Every project is unique, but our process is designed to make your experience smooth, collaborative, and enjoyable.
1 / Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation with Rutland Garden Design, who meet with you to understand your ideas, aspirations, and practical needs in order to provide a tailored quote for the design. Following this, Rutland Garden Design and the team at C Allen Groundworks & Landscaping visit the site with you to explore the details further, ensuring we fully understand your vision before the design is created. This collaborative approach helps shape a garden that reflects your lifestyle, home, and surroundings.
2 / Design Development
Rutland Garden Design creates detailed plans, 2D visuals, and planting schemes to bring your garden to life on paper. These designs are tailored to your home, style, and budget.
3 / Quotation & Planning
Once the design is agreed, Rutland Garden Design along with C Allen Groundworks & Landscaping team visit to run through the garden design and provide a comprehensive quotation for the landscaping work. We’ll review all details together to ensure clarity and transparency.
3 / Construction & Build
Our skilled landscapers handle every aspect of the build — from groundwork, patios, and driveways to planting, turfing, and finishing details. We take pride in meticulous workmanship and outstanding results. Rutland Garden Design visits throughout the construction process, ensuring the design vision is faithfully realised at every stage.
3 / Completion & Aftercare
When your garden is complete, we ensure every element meets the highest standards. We also offer advice on maintenance and aftercare, so your garden continues to thrive for years to come.
