As climate change and water scarcity become increasingly prevalent issues globally, the importance of dry garden design has never been greater.

Through careful planning and execution, dry gardens can offer an array of benefits, both to the environment and homeowners. Installing a dry garden in your property is not only a sustainable choice, but it also has the potential to provide you with a uniquely beautiful and low-maintenance outdoor space.

 Our Dry Garden Design Process

When it comes to creating bespoke dry garden designs for our clients in Bristol, Bath and the South West, we take a precise and holistic approach:

  1. Initial Consultation
    We begin by discussing your specific needs and ambitions for your dry garden, taking into account your preferences and the existing conditions of your outdoor space. This step allows us to gain a thorough understanding of your vision and to tailor our design process accordingly.

  2. Site Analysis
    Our team conducts a comprehensive site analysis to identify any potential constraints or opportunities your garden may present. Factors such as sun exposure, natural drainage patterns, and existing soil conditions are all considered.

  3. Concept Design
    Based on the information gathered during the initial consultation and site analysis, we create a preliminary dry garden concept design. We work closely with you to ensure that the design is in-line with your expectations and reflects the true essence of your desired outdoor space.

  4. Detailed Design and Planting Plan
    Once the concept design is approved, we produce a detailed dry garden design and planting plan. This phase involves specifying the exact location, type and size of all plants and elements included in the design.

  5. Installation
    Finally, our skilled team brings your bespoke dry garden design to life, ensuring that every detail is executed with care and precision. We ensure excellent communication throughout the installation process and will promptly address any concerns or questions you may have.
