A well-designed garden is more than just a collection of plants — it’s an extension of your home, a place to unwind, entertain, connect with nature, and express your personal style. At Soil Sisters Garden Design Service, we work with homeowners across London and beyond to transform outdoor spaces of all shapes and sizes into functional, stunning gardens that thrive in every season.
Whether you’re starting with a blank slate, refreshing an established plot, or working with the constraints of a listed property or compact courtyard, our expert garden design service brings creative vision, horticultural know-how, and practical solutions to every project.
Why Invest in Professional Garden Design?
Hiring a professional garden designer is a powerful way to unlock your outdoor space’s full potential. With a thoughtful, tailored plan, even the most awkward or underused garden can be reimagined into something extraordinary.
At Soil Sisters, our design process is rooted in collaboration, creativity, and sustainability. We understand that no two gardens — or clients — are alike, which is why we take the time to understand your lifestyle, needs, and aesthetic preferences before putting pencil to paper.
A professionally designed garden can:
- Add significant value to your property
- Improve year-round enjoyment and use of the space
- Reduce long-term maintenance headaches
- Support local wildlife and biodiversity
- Solve common issues like poor drainage, lack of privacy, or uneven terrain
In fact, according to the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), a well-planned garden can enhance wellbeing, promote physical activity, and encourage sustainable living practices.
Our Design Process at Soil Sisters Garden Design
We pride ourselves on making the garden design journey enjoyable and stress-free. Whether you’re redesigning a city garden, creating a sensory planting scheme, or transforming a rooftop into an oasis, we guide you through every stage with clarity and care.
Here’s what to expect when you work with Soil Sisters:
1. Initial Consultation
We begin with a site visit to discuss your vision, lifestyle, budget, and any specific challenges or goals. This is your opportunity to tell us how you’d like to use the space — whether that’s relaxing with a morning coffee, hosting friends, or growing your own vegetables.
2. Site Survey & Analysis
We conduct a full survey of the garden, including measurements, aspect, soil condition, existing planting, and access points. This information helps us understand the constraints and opportunities of your space.
3. Concept Designs
We create initial concept sketches and layout ideas, supported by mood boards to help you visualise the look and feel of the space. We’ll explore ideas for materials, planting palettes, lighting, and structures.
4. Final Design Package
Once you’re happy with the direction, we develop a detailed masterplan and technical drawings that include hard landscaping, planting areas, lighting plans, and any bespoke features.
5. Planting Plans & Build Support
We supply detailed planting plans with species selections tailored to your site conditions, seasonal interest, and maintenance preferences. We also work closely with landscape contractors to ensure the design is implemented to the highest standard.

We Design Gardens of Every Shape, Size and Style
At Soil Sisters, we’ve helped transform a wide variety of gardens — from sprawling family lawns and formal front gardens to compact courtyards, rooftop terraces, and everything in between. Our approach is always site-specific and client-led, but here are some popular design directions we’re often asked about:
🌿 Modern Garden Design
Crisp lines, low-maintenance planting, and smart materials like corten steel or porcelain paving define this contemporary look. Perfect for new builds or those looking for a clean, architectural aesthetic.
🏡 Cottage Garden Planting
For a softer, more romantic style, we often create layered planting schemes with perennials, herbs, and flowering shrubs. These gardens are pollinator-friendly and brim with colour and scent throughout the year.
🪴 Courtyard & Small Garden Solutions
Even the smallest outdoor space can feel generous with the right design. We specialise in clever layouts for urban gardens, using vertical planting, built-in seating, water features, and lighting to create depth and atmosphere.
🐝 Wildlife-Friendly Gardens
Supporting pollinators and local ecosystems is central to our work. We incorporate native species, wildlife corridors, bird-friendly hedges, and natural water sources whenever possible. See ideas from The Wildlife Trusts for inspiration.
🌿 Low Maintenance Planting
If you want a beautiful garden without constant upkeep, we can design schemes that look good year-round with minimal effort — using evergreen structure, drought-tolerant plants, and weed-suppressing ground cover.
