Our Process
Garden Design is our core business. Here's how it works!
Consultation
Our garden design process begins with a one-hour on-site consultation, where we listen to your individual needs and vision for your outdoor space. By working with you every step of the way, our design team is able to create a detailed written proposal that covers all aspects of the design process and delivers a plan that meets your goals and fits your lifestyle.
Site Analysis
Your garden’s success starts with a comprehensive site analysis. We take into account the unique environmental factors that impact your garden, including location, sun exposure, soil quality, water availability and existing vegetation. We use this information to design a garden that will thrive for years to come.
Concept Design
We'll craft a Concept Design for your dream garden, covering layout details for garden beds, hard surfaces, and structures. Mood boards will capture the look and feel of the garden, while a color palette, planting wish list and materials palette will bring it all together. We'll collaborate with you to create a garden that perfectly suits your style and space.
Masterplan
Our Masterplan takes your garden design to the next level. We refine the concept design and create detailed drawings to bring your vision to life. Our construction plans, elevations, materials schedules & specifications provide a roadmap for the build, and we include a detailed planting plan and plant schedule to ensure every aspect of your garden is just right.

At Sarah McLauchlan Gardens, we pride ourselves on being client-focused garden designers. We believe that each client has unique needs and goals when it comes to garden design, and our job is to listen to those needs and goals in order to create beautiful, functional outdoor spaces. Our philosophy is to reflect the architecture of the home and the unique location of the property in our designs, allowing for outdoor living spaces that are both beautiful and functional.
