His consultancy brings clarity and construction sense to every stage of a project, whether that means shaping a scheme from the outset, refining planting and detailing on an existing design, or advising a design team through to completion.
About the Consultancy
-
Who is this for?
Whether you are a designer needing planting expertise on a project, an architect shaping a landscape alongside a new build, or a contractor looking for construction sense checked design detail, Colin brings over twenty five years of experience to support your project at any stage.
-
What the consultancy covers
Site analysis and setting, planting strategy and species selection, construction detailing and buildability, and ongoing input through to completion. Colin works alongside your team rather than in place of it, adding depth where it is needed most.

The value
Few consultants combine design vision with genuine construction experience. Colin's background on site means his advice accounts for how a garden will actually be built, not just how it will look on paper, reducing the risk of costly changes once works are underway.
