01 / Identification and care
Plant list
The sample lists key needs, care symbols, heights and spacing alongside plant names. The plants and quantities in your specific plan form the basis for sourcing.
What will you receive?
Garden plans
and documents.
See your garden.
Understand the next step.
Drawings, the plant list and supporting sheets answer different questions. Together they help you decide, discuss and prepare for building. I assemble the documents your garden and the task actually need.
01 / A closer look at the plans
From the whole
to precise details.
Four sample sheets, four kinds of information. From layout and spatial character to plant positions and exact dimensions, see what each part of the design provides.
For the whole garden
Room for
the uses you want.
The concept shows the garden’s structure: how paths, seating, lawns and beds connect.
- Connected spaces
- Stepping-stone paths lead between the house, terrace and spa outbuilding.
- Open and framed areas
- Beds and trees along the lawn define open spaces and areas framed by plants.
- The character of the planting
- Coloured tree crowns and handwritten labels show the intended planting composition.
The concept clarifies the layout; detailed dimensions and planting appear on further sheets.
For the garden’s spatial character
Picture it
in front of you.
The view shows the garden’s proportions and character. It helps you imagine plant groupings, materials and what it will feel like to stand there.
- Height and proportion
- The raised bed, columnar plants and lower perennials form layers in space.
- Shapes and colours
- Dense green foliage is complemented by looser flowers and contrasting leaf shapes.
- The mood of a detail
- The bed edging, wall and suggested lights create the mood together, helping us discuss the design.
The view conveys the spatial effect; exact dimensions and plant data come from other documents.
For placing the plants
Which plant
belongs where?
The planting plan arranges plant positions and groups. Drawing symbols and labels are complemented by a plant list for sourcing.
- Plant groups
- Symbols and areas show the planting structure and the groups designed to sit together.
- Precise identification
- Numbered labels identify selected plants by their Hungarian and botanical names.
- Linked to the list
- The accompanying list summarises plant characteristics, quantities and planting data.
These plants come from an earlier project; I choose yours according to your garden’s conditions.
For setting out on site
Exact dimensions,
positions you can mark.
The setting-out plan records the position and dimensions of surfaces, edges and routes. It provides a basis for marking out on site and discussing work with contractors.
- Dimensions
- Blue dimension lines locate surfaces and edges relative to existing garden features.
- Surfaces and materials
- The legend at the top right identifies lawn, gravel, bark, edging and stepping stones.
- Quantities
- Areas and edging lengths help estimate material requirements and request quotes.

The thinking behind the drawing
More than seeing.
Understand your garden.
A written explanation and mood selection can accompany the plan. They show why elements sit together and which planting character and materials connect them.
Inspiration for built features — a path, edging or pergola, for example — clarifies the direction. Structural and technical details needed for construction must be defined separately for the project.
How we reach the finished plan02 / Back to the plants
What comes
with the drawing.
Plant names, characteristics and flowering rhythms are easier to follow on separate sheets. These stay useful after the garden is built too.
02 / Flowering through the year
Flowering calendar
Monthly markings reveal flowering periods and overlaps. Foliage, plant forms and winter structure also shape the garden’s seasonal character.
These two samples come from different sets of plans; every garden’s plant selection is individual.
Designing with plants03 / When the plan goes to work
A shared foundation.
A step towards building.
You or your appointed landscaper or building contractor organise construction. By prior arrangement, I can help arrange plants on site according to the plan when they arrive. Follow-up is available by individual agreement.
Which plans suit your needs?If it’s your own garden
You can request clearer quotes and discuss the order of work. Not everything has to happen at once, but it helps to see which decisions affect later stages.
If you’re a landscaper or building contractor
If construction leaves little time to prepare detailed drawings, a plan can clarify the layout, planting and basis for your quote. We agree in advance on which documents you need.
The package description and quote define the exact scope. Not every project needs every sample sheet shown here.
Design for landscapers and building contractors
Garden plans you can use on site.
Landscapers and building contractors can commission a complete garden plan too. Planting and setting-out drawings, plant schedules and material quantities provide a shared basis for quotations, purchasing and construction.
What we work from
A dimensioned site plan, photographs, elements to retain, client requirements and known utilities. We clarify missing survey information and the drawings needed before starting.
Delivery and coordination
Documents are delivered digitally. Before the quotation we agree file formats, scale, level of detail, revision scope and timing, including any separate specialist documentation required.
Before we choose
A few clarifications.
So you know what to expect.
Does every package include the same drawings?
No. Rethinking the layout of a whole garden needs different documents from planning plants in an existing bed. The package description and individual quote specify the drawings, lists and extras.
In what format will I receive the finished plan?
I deliver your chosen documents digitally, making them easy to share with contractors or use for plant sourcing. File formats and printing guidance are adapted to the particular drawings.
Is a visualisation enough to build the garden?
A visualisation explains proportions and atmosphere. Other drawings provide exact positions, dimensions and plant data. Technical details must always be defined for the work to be carried out.
The task comes first
What do you need
to take the next step?
Tell me where you are with the garden and where you’d like help. We’ll choose the necessary plans from there.
