Three ways to begin, depending on what your garden needs
Whether it's choosing stone, checking a wall, or laying out a rockery, there's a starting point that fits.
Back to homeFinding the right starting point
Each of these three services suits a slightly different moment in a garden's life — early planning, a wall that needs a second look, or a space ready to be composed. If you're not sure which fits, a short message is enough for us to point you toward the right one.

About the layout planHow to choose
Planning a new path, edging, or first rockery? Start with the Stone Selection Walkthrough — it grounds everything that follows in the right material.
Noticing bulging, leaning coping, or damp staining on an existing wall? The Wall Condition Review is the right first step.
Ready to lay out the space itself? The Rockery Composition & Paving Layout turns a plan into something you can build from.
If none of these feels like an exact fit, send us a message and we'll help you work out where to begin.

Value and investment
Each price reflects the time, documentation, and site work involved rather than a flat consultation fee. Larger wall projects can be staged across seasons so the investment is spread in a way that suits your circumstances.
Questions before you decide
Do I need to know exactly what I want before booking?
No — each service is designed to help you arrive at a decision, not assume you've already made one.
Can I combine more than one offer?
Many projects move from selection through to a wall review and then a layout plan, in whichever order suits the work.
What if my wall or area is larger than the stated scope?
Send us the details and we'll let you know how the review or layout would need to adapt.
