The first step begins with the Initial Consultation
Understanding your needs, wants, and aspirations for your ideal garden, are what interest us most. You will no doubt wish to understand more about how we carry out your design process, so that will be explained. Seeing the existing garden space and determining what’s possible will be discussed.
At Whyte Gardens we offer two options to carry out the consultation: An online consultation which allows you greater flexibility of available hours and while in the comfort of your own home, you can view a monitor while sharing our screens and discuss options. Or we can have an onsite visit at your home.
Concept Design
A common concern voiced by clients to us, is around a designer running off on their own ideas and not creating to the clients’ desires. At Whyte Gardens we believe each garden is an expression of your unique appreciation of styling and importance of how the garden should function. To that end, we ask lots of questions and offer a design as a ‘suggestion’ and then revise it based on your feedback. We also offer our extensive experience and creativity to allow you to extend beyond your own ideas, if that is to your choosing. How the Concept Design is brought about:
- We visit site and walk around with you to determine the overall theme for the garden. At this time we also take our measurements.
- Within a day or two we email you a written brief for your approval.
- A few weeks later on a Zoom meeting, we will present you a ‘Layout’ of your garden where we discuss the concept and any revisions you may desire. Along with this is an estimated cost for landscaping.
- The next meeting is to present the revised design along with all plants, materials and finishes. There may be some further revision and once completed, we will provide a construction quotation for you.
Master Plan
The final step of the design process is where we discuss exact materials, plants, and finishes. You’ll be able to see how every last piece fits together to create your most perfect vision. This is where your garden fully blossoms to life.

Here’s What A Few of Our Clients Have to Say About their Garden Transformations:
"Our garden brings a smile to my face"

"So much interest and detail was put into the visual aspect of both front and back gardens. I love my decking, plants used and my outdoor BBQ area. What a difference it makes to use a landscape architect who is sensitive to your needs, with the end result being a garden that is so pleasing to the eye. Whyte Gardens thorough and professional approach was constant throughout the whole design and implementation process."
"We were lucky to have a personal recommendation to approach Whyte Gardens and consider their design for our lakeside retreat."
"The task was challenging with tight local regulations and a difficult block with which to work. We were delighted with their initial design and their professionalism in the build phase.
