Working with your landscape

Do you want your landscape to be unique, but not look out of place? It’s important to consider the areas surrounding your project. JD Landscape Architect works with your entire landscape. A series of consultations will determine the contour of your section, the flow of water and the direction the buildings and other areas face. Landscapes do not exist on a bubble in the middle of nowhere, and it’s the landscape architect’s job to work within the site context to design places that fit in with the surroundings.

James is very knowledgeable and professional. He has a "Pocket Plan" service which is for a consultation and design of your outdoor space which we would 100% recommend. We had one done which we then gave directly to the builder who was able to visualise the plan and execute it. For anyone who is needing some help and advise on bringing their landscape ideas to life, with modern concepts and practicality, contact JD.

We are so happy with the landscape plan James did for us. We have now finished all the planting and it looks great. All the plants seem to be thriving in our challenging soil environment so we are really glad we got professional advice on plant selection. Thanks so much James!
