SOME GARDENS NEED SAVING.
OTHERS JUST NEED A HAND.

Every space we work with is different and so is the level of help it needs. Whether you're planning a complete redesign, looking to transform your planting or simply trying to solve a problem in an existing space, Grounded offers design support at different scales and stages.

“I WANT TO RETHINK MY WHOLE OUTDOOR SPACE"

For gardens that need to go back to the drawing board. The Garden Masterplan looks at the space as a whole — how it's laid out, how you move through it, how you use it, and how everything can work together.

From early ideas through to a clear overall design direction, this is for projects where you're looking to make a significant change.

“I LIKE MY GARDEN BUT NEED BETTER PLANTING"

Sometimes the structure is in place and working well, but the planting just isn't doing the garden justice.

This service focuses on creating planting schemes with more character, colour, texture and seasonal interest — whether you're refreshing existing borders or starting with a completely blank canvas.

2) Planting Design

“I'VE GOT THE IDEA BUT NEED HELP SHAPING IT"

You might already know broadly what you want to achieve, but need help turning ideas into a coherent and workable design.

This service develops your thinking into a clear proposal, supported by the drawings and information needed to communicate the design and move the project forward.

3) Designs, drawings, models

“MY GARDEN'S FINE, I JUST NEED TO FIX SOME BITS"

Not every project calls for a complete redesign. Sometimes certain areas of the garden, or key spaces are just letting the side down.

Focused Improvements provides targeted design help for specific parts of your garden that aren't working as well as they could — helping identify the problem and develop practical, creative solutions.
