GARDEN DESIGN

My aim is to recognize the potential in every outdoor space – even small or built-up areas – while simultaneously understanding the needs and desires of the people who use them, in order to combine both into a stylish and holistically effective design concept.

 

I provide inspiration, ideas and impulses, and offer concrete advice on how the outdoor area can be redesigned to create a green paradise.

 

My clients can either implement my designs themselves or hire a professional garden and landscape design company. I often provide support during this phase, for example, with material selection or design decisions.

 

My design concepts have a strong aesthetic component – I compose a garden like a work of art. Colors, shapes, and structures create a harmony, without neglecting function and practicality.

 

Above all, the goal is to create environments and atmospheres that promote well-being and give more space to people and nature.

I offer only a limited number of personal design consultations to give each project my time and attention. Therefore, there may currently be a waiting period.

Garden Design

Surrounding ourselves with nature is good for our soul and our body. In the forest with the scent of pine needles and the soft, springy forest floor beneath our feet, by the sea with the view into the distance and the gentle sound of the waves. Or gazing into the distance, across green meadows and wildflowers along the roadside.

 

Far too rarely do we bring nature into our everyday lives. Especially in small gardens, paved outdoor areas such as those of commercial buildings, or in urban front gardens, there is great potential for creating a natural and green oasis.

 

Because every room with nature

  • A place for regeneration and well-being. A place to find peace, switch off, and breathe deeply.

  • a place for community, to have another space where people can meet and interact

  • an upgrade of the building – both aesthetically and in terms of the quality of stay (in a business context also for customers and employees)

  • An inside view, because it has been proven that we feel better when we look out at greenery from within.

  • Added value for nature through the creation of habitats, the unsealing of surfaces and the creation of infiltration areas during heavy rain, as well as protection from heat through the cooling effect of vegetation.

Garden Talk

The Garden Consultation is an exclusive yet relaxed introduction to the topic of garden design, combining one-to-one garden coaching with garden design. 
It provides inspiration and an outside perspective on how a garden can be redesigned to ensure that its appearance and atmosphere are in harmony, thereby enhancing your sense of well-being. 
It takes place online and is therefore location-independent.
 
Included:

  • a questionnaire for you to complete regarding your circumstances and preferences, which you’ll return to me along with photos, videos and a floor plan of your garden or outdoor space

  • an approximately 30-minute telephone or video call, during which we’ll explore the results of your questionnaire in more detail

  • a design vision (mood board) developed specifically for you, featuring a hand-drawn sketch by me of a possible new layout, suggestions for structural changes and materials, as well as inspiration on style, atmosphere and planting (2–3 pages as a PDF).

  • a second phone call or video call lasting approximately 30 minutes to explain my ideas and vision to you and offer tips on implementation. Whether you plan to carry out the work yourself or wish to engage a specialist gardening and landscaping firm.

     


The garden consultation costs €690.00 incl. VAT. 

​​​
Detailed planning, such as comprehensive design concepts with floor plans and planting schemes, as well as ongoing advice during implementation, are available on request.
