Garden Design

Creating beautiful, functional gardens tailored to the way you live.

A successful garden begins with a thoughtful design. Whether you're transforming an existing space or starting with a blank canvas, our design process creates a clear vision that balances beauty, practicality and long-term enjoyment.

At Terra Verde, we work closely with clients to understand how they want to use their outdoor space, creating gardens that feel personal, purposeful and connected to their home. Drawing on experience in horticulture, construction and design, we develop gardens that are not only visually striking but achievable to build and enjoyable to maintain.

While we have a particular passion for Mediterranean-inspired landscapes, naturalistic planting and climate-conscious design, we believe every garden should reflect the individual client and property. From contemporary outdoor living spaces and traditional country gardens to wildlife-friendly retreats and modern family gardens, we can design in a wide range of styles to suit your vision.

Our design services include:

  • Initial consultations and site visits

  • Site analysis and surveys

  • Concept design plans

  • Masterplans and layout design

  • Planting design and planting plans

  • Mood boards and visual inspiration

  • Material and product selection

  • Lighting concepts

  • Detailed design development

  • Construction drawings

  • Plant schedules and specifications

  • Professional plans for self-build projects

  • Contractor-ready drawings and specifications

  • Design support for your chosen contractor

  • Design-and-build project support

  • Contractor liaison and project management

Every design is developed with careful consideration of your garden's conditions, architecture, soil, maintenance requirements and budget. By combining creative thinking with practical knowledge, we create gardens that are both beautiful and built to thrive for years to come.

We understand that every project is different. Whether you're a hands-on homeowner looking to build the garden yourself, working with a trusted contractor, or seeking a complete design-and-build service, Terra Verde can provide the professional plans, guidance and expertise needed to bring your vision to life.

From concept to completion, our goal is simple: to create gardens that enrich everyday life and continue to evolve beautifully over time.
