Already got a garden plan, but not quite sure it’s right?

Perhaps you’ve designed your garden yourself. Maybe your landscaper has produced a layout, or perhaps you’ve already commissioned a design, but something still doesn’t quite sit right.

Our plan checking service provides an experienced second opinion before you commit to
building your garden. It’s surprising how often we review plans where the client says, “I liked it on paper, but I wasn’t completely convinced.” Sometimes a small adjustment can unlock the full potential of a space.

Sometimes all that’s needed is reassurance that you’re already heading in the right direction. Either way, a fresh pair of experienced eyes can be invaluable before you spend thousands of pounds bringing a garden to life.

How it works

Book your session online and choose a convenient appointment time.
At least three days before your consultation, we’ll ask you to email:

  • A copy of your garden plan
  • Photographs of the garden
  • Any questions, concerns or areas you’d particularly like us to review
  • A short video walkthrough via WhatsApp

Your designer will review everything before the consultation.We’ll then meet online for a 60 minute discussion where we’ll explore what’s working well, identify opportunities for improvement and answer any questions you may have. The consultation is recorded and you’ll receive a copy afterwards, allowing you to fully focus on the conversation without worrying about taking notes.

What we’ll review

Every garden is different, but we may discuss:

  • Layout and circulation
  • How well the design solves your practical problems
  • Positioning of patios, lawns, borders and structures
  • Privacy and screening
  • Views and focal points
  • Levels and access routes
  • Planting opportunities
  • Long term usability
  • Buildability and practical considerations
  • Areas where the design may not be fulfilling its full potential

Who is it for?

The Plan Checker is perfect for:

  • Homeowners who have designed their own garden
  • Clients who have received a design from a landscaper
  • People considering a significant investment in their garden and wanting reassurance before proceeding
  • Anyone who feels something isn’t quite right but can’t put their finger on why
  • Those looking for confidence before construction begins

What you’ll leave with

At the end of the session you’ll have a clearer understanding of your garden plan, greater
confidence in your decisions and practical advice on how to move forward. Sometimes we’ll confirm that you’re already on the right track. Sometimes we’ll identify
opportunities you may not have considered. Either way, you’ll leave knowing far more than when you arrived and if for any reason you don’t, we offer a 100% money back guarantee.
