Advice & Consultancy
We create beautiful commercial garden designs with guaranteed turnaround times.
Architects and developers often require garden and landscape design services, in particular to discharge planning conditions for new residential and commercial projects.
We provide a comprehensive range of professional services, with a collaborative approach to projects of all sizes. Our team works closely with Local Authorities and Agents to specify schemes to meet their requirements and offer a guaranteed quick turnaround for their projects.
We work collaboratively with our commercial clients to understand what they want, ensuring that every element of the garden sits harmoniously in its environment.
Our aim is to make every commercial outdoor space both visually appealing and functional, resulting in gardens that engage the people that use them. Whether it's a corporate headquarters, a local park or a hotel rooftop garden, we bring the same passion for beauty and diligence we bring to residential projects.
We can take your brief in person or online, then create designs from your site plans and architect’s drawings. Whether you are looking for initial concept sketches, landscape designs for larger spaces, planting plans or even beautiful miniature garden models, we bring a creative and dynamic approach to all our commercial designs.
Our Commercial Services
-
We create biodiverse and climate considerate planting plans in Sketchup with exact spacings and layouts.
We draw elevations by hand, in SketchUp and Procreate with mood boards.
Plant Schedules, Quantities required, Nursery Orders if needed accompany planting plans plus an horticultural Maintenance Plan.
-
We draw initial sketches by hand with 2D & 3D elevations.
Detailed drawings are often a mixture of CAD based and hand drawn depending on the project.
-
We bring images to life with SketchUp and hand drawn elevations.
-
Hand rendered elevations and drawings add a unique dimension to our work.
For this reason, many customers enjoy seeing hand drawn visuals, keeping them long after the garden is built.
-
One of our special presentation skills!
3D garden models made to scale, add a totally different dimension, unmatched by any CAD drawings.
See our page on ‘Design Modelling’ for an example of a commercial garden project for a water tower Airbnb.

We take into account all environmental, horticultural and climatic elements to produce a comprehensive and detailed report.
-
We can create a detailed Schedule of Works for building our design for your garden project.
From initial site prep to final client handover, this comprehensive document covers all aspects required to ensure the smooth running of the project.
-
These detailed documents set out the horticultural requirements of every tree, shrub, plant and bulb in our Planting Plan.
If followed carefully, the designs we create will offer years of pleasure to our clients.
Commercial Projects require bigger thinking
Whilst biodiversity and sustainable, environmentally conscious gardens are standard considerations for us, we also address larger scale factors when designing for our commercial clients.
For example:
Commercial gardens must cater for larger groups of people, with designs having widespread appeal, ample seating, strong structure and year round interest.
Does the design fit with its environment or is it meant to stand apart?
Work places can be transformed into green retreats, providing a space for breaks from the daily grind.
Path widths, wheelchair/pushchair access, ramps and semi-smooth smooth flooring to be considered
Working closely with architects on rooftop gardens for a thorough assessment of health, safety, wind and weight before any horticultural elements are considered, designed or specified.
As part of our process at My Garden Designer, we ensure all aspects are covered, from the careful choice of containers and growing medium, to a hand-curated selection of plants that thrive in these harsher environments.
Below is a small snapshot of a commercial project in Winchmore Hill, London, where the developer required planting plans for planning application.
