Great Outdoors Design

Garden design & consultation

What we do

Whatever size your garden, if it’s well laid out and planted it will enhance both your property and your life. We provide a flexible service ranging from full garden redesigns to planting plans or simple consultations to discuss your garden issues. With expertise in both garden design and horticulture, we have been involved in the industry since 2015. We also offer a guided design option whereby our designer works with you to help you develop your own ideas into a masterplan for your project.

Our philosophy

We will listen carefully to your needs and preferences and aim to create gardens which reflect these and make the most of your space and budget. This will result in a garden which is not only beautiful and practical but is also a reflection of you. In doing this, we intend to ultimately benefit rather than harm the environment.

This can be achieved by reducing wastage and maximising the reuse, wherever practical, of materials and features that are already on site. We prefer to use eco-friendly products and materials, sourced locally where possible. New plants are selected to suit the site conditions so they will thrive in their new environment, and effects on wildlife are considered within the design.

What people say

Caroline designed a very pretty & practical garden for my terraced town house. I have spent many happy hours in my new garden and it has been admired by many visitors.

Sally W, Petersfield

Caroline made sure I had all my wishes fulfilled by keeping me involved and updated throughout the process. She kept to the brief and completed the project within the budget and the time frame. It has been an absolute pleasure to know Caroline. I would highly recommend her.

Helen M, Twickenham

Caroline was keen to make sure that she knew what was important to us including our desire to make the garden as environmentally friendly as possible. She came up with a design which suited us very well. It is now about 6 months later and we are very pleased with the way the garden is developing.

Jill and Steve, E. Sheen

We found Caroline very helpful, full of creative ideas and very willing to adjust her ideas as we talked. We think she is very competitive price-wise and have no hesitation in recommending her.

Nancy and Gordon B, Petersfield

Throughout, Caroline has been generous with her time; her approach has been creative, professional and friendly. The completed planting design is stunning, truly eye catching and is admired by everyone who visits our garden.
