A note from Amelia
For me, great garden design starts with understanding the people who will use it.
I want to know how you really live, not just where you'd like a seating area. Do you hang your washing outside? Are you a sun worshipper or do you head for the shade as soon as the mercury hits 20 degrees? What's in your shed? And how well do you get on with your neighbours?
I'll ask lots of questions. Possibly more than you were expecting. I want to know how messy you are, whether you want to keep an eye on the children or would rather tuck their play area out of sight, and all the other little things that make you, and your garden, unique.
Why? Because I don't want to design a garden that looks wonderful on paper but doesn't work for the people living in it. I want to understand what matters to you, how you spend your time and what will make your garden a genuinely rewarding place to be.
I don't just design it and walk away.
I care about the gardens I design, and I care about the people who own them. One thing that comes up consistently in my client feedback is that I go above and beyond, and that's something I'm proud of.
For me, the job isn't simply done when the plans are finished or the landscapers have packed up. I'm invested in the long-term success of your garden: how it grows, how it works and how it continues to give you pleasure for years to come.
I want to know that I've helped create something you'll love living with, not just something that looks good in a photograph.
If that sounds like someone you’d like to work with, let’s talk.
