Melanie Kerr Garden Services
Garden Design
I hold a RHS Level 3 horticultural diploma and a Professional Garden Design Diploma from the Cotswold Gardening School, where I graduated with a Distinction.
I offer a range of bespoke garden services designed to enhance your outdoor living space and compliment your home.
Specific services include:
-
Expertise to re-work an existing garden
After an initial consultation and conversation to discuss the project you have in mind. We send you a Brief to complete and will then arrange the first site visit. This can take up to entire day depending on the size of your garden and is charged at £300.
Our consultation will enable us to discuss your needs and aspirations at length and really get to the bones of what you would like your garden to look and feel like. We will confirm all details taken and then provide you with a fee proposal for the Design work. A full package of design work starts at £1500.
Once we have completed a master plan and it has been signed off it can be implemented in full or in stages. We have good working relationships with qualified Landscape Contractors, Suppliers and Plant Nurseries to ensure each project is implemented in a professional and timely manner.
Site Feasibility & Survey
It is always advisable to get a thorough topographical survey of the space you intend to develop. We feel it is a crucial part of progressing the project to paper. This can be done by outsourcing to a surveyor or depending on the site size we can conduct it ourselves.
The initial site visit will highlight features that you would like to keep or remove and really get a feel for how you would like to use the space.
Moodboards
Mood boards and visual aids enable me to develop your wish list into something tangible that I can then translate into the design.
Sometimes knowing what you don't want is just as useful to a designer as knowing what you do want. By producing moodboards we can ensuring the aesthetic of your garden is matches your aspirations.
From gates or boundary fences to hard landscaping to planting there are a million options and lots of decisions to make. The concept stage is a iterative process and we welcome you to take an active role in developing it.

Garden Design Master Plan
Whether you have a new build or a mature plot, we can discuss in detail what your specific needs, loves, dislikes and must-haves are for your garden, patio, or even balcony.
You could have the most amazing plants in your garden, but if the design lacks flow and function, then you simply won't get the best out of them.
I can provide concept drawings, advise on plant choices and planting plans.
Whether it’s a small and simple planting design to refresh your outdoor space, or a fuller garden design service, we’d be delighted to visit you to discuss all the possibilities for your garden.
