Bespoke garden
retreat design
Transform your outdoor space into a welcoming garden retreat with Melanie Hick Garden Design. Our experienced designer Melanie Hick works closely with clients to create bespoke landscape designs that reflect your unique style and needs with sustainability and habitat gain as standard.
MHGD offers bespoke garden design for property owners.
This includes an initial consultation to understand your vision, followed by concept drawings, planting plans, hardscape designs and more.
Melanie will select and supply plants that thrive with climate resilience in mind.
The final designs I provide to the appointed landscape contractor ensure your design comes to life. I manage the tender of your landscaping works to up to three landscapers who we rate highly.
MHGD then delivers project oversight to ensure your design is being executed beautifully.
