Concept plan
The big picture first.
The concept plan is the skeleton of the garden. It decides what goes where, how spaces connect, where the path leads and what the whole will feel like. Every further plan builds on it.

(02) Who it’s for
It’s for you if…
New house, completely empty plot – and no idea where to start
Sound like you?Your current garden doesn’t work and needs rethinking
Sound like you?You want a direction first and the details later
Sound like you?
Mood board
Before there’s a line, there’s a mood.
With the concept I put together a palette of materials and colours, so you can see not just the layout but the feel of the garden.

(03) How it’s made
- 1
Conversation & survey
I get to know the plot and your habits. Photos, measurements, light, existing plants.

Sketch options
Two or three different directions to choose from.

Final concept
We refine the chosen direction and fix the garden’s structure.
(1).Do I need a concept plan if I only want plants?
If the structure – paths, terrace, lawn – is already there and works, not necessarily. Then we can go straight to a planting plan.
(2).How many options do I get?
Typically two or three directions, from which we choose and refine.
(3).What’s the difference between concept and construction plans?
The concept says what goes where. The construction plan says exactly how big, what material and at what level.
