Caroline Dawes Gardens
Services
Caroline Dawes Gardens offers a complete service of design, horticultural advice and garden construction. Follow up visits by Caroline are offered and if help with garden maintenance is required, Caroline can recommend experienced, professional gardeners who take the effort out of keeping your new garden in pristine condition.
Through a collaborative approach via a series of consultations and a thorough site analysis, the design evolves through site survey, to a concept and then to the detailed final design and documentation. When garden construction is required, these documents can then be tendered out to a choice of highly recommended, customer focussed contractors.
Caroline has a wealth of horticultural & botanical expertise and personally oversees the sourcing of the highest quality plants available to achieve the best possible results.
Style
Caroline’s gardens are all unique, as each garden must suit your home, the site and your individual desires & needs. However, one thing remains constant and that is that each garden must be functional and provide ongoing pleasure. Clients must feel comfortable in their garden and enjoy it from many perspectives and through all the seasons.
Caroline designs her gardens using a structured process and the end result is arrived at through a collaborative approach with you. Your new garden must include as many functions as possible in a way that is in sync with you and the environment.
Caroline is adept at addressing the issues and practicalities of creating gardens, both large and small and her creativity ensures that the individual character and tranquillity of each garden is revealed.
