A maintenance gardener may carry out ongoing physical work. A garden designer may deliver a design or plan. Tony occupies the useful space between them: he helps you understand the garden you have, make informed decisions and learn what to do, how to do it and why.
Your garden does not stand still after one meeting. Plants reveal themselves, light shifts, jobs become urgent and new questions appear. The year-long approach gives you timely guidance, the chance to review results and the confidence to make the next decision well.
Tony can also help with a focused garden problem without distracting from the three principal services.
Understand soil, drainage, privacy and structure before buying plants or committing to finishes.
Identify what is worth keeping and put the work into a calm, manageable order.
Choose plants for the conditions, long-term scale, seasonal interest and time you have available.
