Your Bespoke Design Process
At Katharine Cook Design & Consultancy, every exceptional garden journey is a collaborative process, guided by expertise and meticulous attention to detail.
Discover the distinct phases of how I transform your vision into an enduring outdoor sanctuary.
Your garden's transformation begins with a personalized conversation where I listen intently to your vision and explore your site's potential.
This crucial first step lays the groundwork for our creative journey together.
Here, your aspirations take artistic form. I translate discussions and site characteristics into a cohesive Concept Plan, illustrating the overall layout, key features, and aesthetic direction to ignite your imagination.
The Construction Detailing, Specifications, and Tendering Phase
This phase translates your approved concept into precise, buildable plans. I create comprehensive technical drawings, including essential drainage and detailed planting plans, then oversee tendering to secure the ideal contractor.
This is where your design springs to life! While construction transforms the landscape, my crucial role in on-site plant setting out ensures the artistic and ecological vision of the planting plan is flawlessly realized. I can also coordinate with contractors or provide my own expert planting team for installation.
Once your garden is complete, its long-term beauty requires expert care. My optional Ongoing Garden Care and Guardianship services ensure your investment thrives. This can include regular visits, seasonal guidance, and bespoke maintenance planning, protecting your garden's vitality year after year.
