Design process
My name is Kate Shutt, I am a RHS-qualified garden designer with over 25 years of experience in horticulture and design. I’ve always loved the process of transforming outdoor spaces into places that feel truly magical.. Drawing on my background in art and design, I combine creativity with practical, sustainable ideas to craft gardens that are both beautiful and functional.
Initial Consultation
A chance for us to meet you to discuss your requirements, look around the garden and assess what the project might entail.
Client Brief & Quotation
Following our first meeting I will provide my written understanding of the client brief along with a quotation for design works
Site Survey
On acceptance of the quotation I will carry out a full site survey. This includes a topographical survey, soil analysis, study of
existing services, any site restrictions and then a contract is signed by both parties.
Design Concept
Information gathered from both the site survey and client brief will allow me to present you with a design concept. We can then discuss the plan and make any necessary adjustments
Master Plan
A fully rendered and scaled design will be produced along with supporting construction drawings, site sections and a specification of works
Planting Plan
A detailed planting plan to support the Master Plan is provided showing plant varieties, spacing and maintenance requirements
