Balconies & terraces

Consultation - We can do this whichever way works best - any combination of phone/video call, email or visit.

For balconies, unlike gardens, I can sometimes work with photos and measurements, plus a bit more info, such as, which floor your balcony is on (or how high), which direction it faces (if you know), whether it's shaded by trees or buildings etc.

​

How will you use the space? We'll discuss this, plus what you'd like in terms of style and amount of planting (if you know).

Maintenance - All living plants need some maintenance and it's worth it! Lower maintenance planting is possible - we'll discuss what suits you and whether you'll have a gardener.

You receive a design proposal either by email or video call, your choice. This covers:

• Plants: named species and varieties suitable for your space.

• Beautiful pots and containers where your plants can thrive. No tiny plastic pots here. 

• A sketch (optional) - this can help you visualise the finished balcony, fully planted with furniture in place.

• Timeline for ordering and installation: I order everything for delivery to your address.

I can help you find quality garden furniture to suit your chosen style.

​

Used sparingly, garden lighting can enhance rather than overpower your space. I can help you select the right products and put you in touch with an electrician to install them.

If you're short on time I can order all items for delivery to your address on convenient dates.

Plants are typically delivered on the day of planting, so that I can check their condition at delivery.

On a date agreed with you, I plant and water everything, install the irrigation and leave it neat and tidy. Typically a single day.

​

I'll also talk you through how to care for it, if that's what you want. I can help find a garden maintenance firm, if needed.

​

I also supply a pdf with care instructions.

There's nothing more to do except to enjoy your beautiful new garden. ​
