Garden design consultation

Garden Design in Wokingham

Thoughtful ideas for an outdoor space that works for you. Fox Gardens offers garden design consultations in Wokingham and surrounding areas. Our in-house garden designer will help you explore practical ideas for layout, planting and how you want to use the space, taking your style, priorities and budget into account.

A useful first conversation

Start with how you want your garden to look and feel.

Whether you’re refreshing a planting scheme, rethinking an awkward space or planning a complete redesign, we’ll talk through your style, budget and how you want to use your garden.

The initial consultation helps establish your priorities and the most appropriate next steps. Maintenance and irrigation can also be considered so that ideas remain practical for the garden after it is created.

What we’ll discuss

Your garden, priorities and possibilities.

01

Your ideas

Share what you like, what is not working and what you would like the garden to become.

02

Garden use

Consider how the space needs to work for relaxing, entertaining, family life, gardening or other priorities.

03

Style and budget

Talk through the character you prefer and the budget you have in mind, helping keep ideas relevant and realistic.

04

Planting

Explore planting preferences, seasonal interest and how new ideas could relate to existing plants, garden conditions and features.

05

Practical care

Consider maintenance and irrigation alongside the design so the garden remains manageable after it is created.

06

Next steps

Finish with a clearer understanding of your priorities and the appropriate next stage for the project.

Design and planting follow-on

Developing the ideas after your consultation.

Where appropriate, the first conversation can lead to separately quoted detailed garden design, planting plans or further planting work. This keeps the initial consultation distinct from any later design deliverables.

Bringing the design to life

Landscaping can follow separately.

We work closely with several landscaping companies and can recommend a suitable team to bring your design to life.

Related practical services
