Our Garden Design Process
With one experienced team guiding every stage, your garden moves smoothly from first ideas to a beautifully designed, built and planted space — ready for you to enjoy for many years to come.
1. Free Initial Site Visit & Consultation
Every garden begins with a conversation. During your free consultation, we assess your space and how you want to use it, discuss styles and materials, and explore what’s possible. This gives us the foundation to design a garden that truly fits your lifestyle and home.
2. Garden Design Concept Stage
Once we understand your vision, we develop the initial concept layout. This includes ideas for planting, materials, features, and the overall flow of the space. At this stage, you begin to see how your finished garden will function, feel, and come together as a cohesive design.
3. Detailed 2D Master Plan Drawing
Your concept is then developed into a detailed 2D master plan, setting out the full design with accuracy and clarity. This includes hard and soft landscaping layouts and a detailed list of recommended plants. From here, your plan can be accurately costed, built, and planted.
4. Master Build, Planting and Aftercare
Our skilled landscapers bring the design to life with quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, from construction to planting. After completion, we provide guidance on caring for your new garden so it can grow, mature, and flourish throughout the seasons.

Featured Project: Wildlife Garden & Pond Design — South Croydon
This small urban garden in South Croydon was transformed into a peaceful wildlife sanctuary, featuring a natural-style pond, wildflower meadow area, and a blend of edible and ornamental planting for year-round structure and seasonal interest.
Working from a detailed design plan, we reshaped the layout, introduced curved pathways for movement and flow, and created distinct zones for wildlife, relaxation, and planting. The result is a garden that feels larger, more inviting, and deeply connected to nature — all within a compact space.
1. The Brief
The homeowners wanted a space that felt natural, peaceful and full of life — somewhere to enjoy birds, butterflies, bees and seasonal colour without high maintenance demands.
2. The Design
We introduced a wildlife-friendly pond, a soft wildflower meadow focus, curved brick pathways, and mixed planting for shape, texture and year-round interest. Edible herbs and fruiting plants were woven discreetly into ornamental borders.
3. The Build
Once the design was finalised, our team reshaped the garden, installed the pond, improved the soil, and planted a layered mix of sustainable, wildlife-supporting species.
The Result 🌻🐝
A small, overgrown space became a thriving ecological garden and urban sanctuary that looks beautiful in every season, while supporting bees, butterflies, ladybirds, birds, insects and amphibians.

“From consultation to planning, to adjusting the budget, EarthCare were so professional and thoughtful in every aspect of the project. Then the execution of the plans has utterly exceeded all expectations and the reality is now a totally transformed space. Every detail is perfect and I couldn’t be more delighted by my garden. Communication was excellent also and time management of the project. It was a real pleasure to work with them and I will be enjoying the results for years to come. Highly recommend their services.” — Peter Smith
