Our comprehensive design process

Eco-friendly landscapes

Every design is customised to a client’s preferences and builds on your own ideas. In our initial discussions we’ll:

  • define the purpose of your outdoor space e.g. for family gatherings, outdoor cooking, wildlife enhancement, or quiet contemplation

  • discuss physical aspects of the site e.g. the sun, prevailing wind, privacy issues

  • look at personal requirements e.g. colour schemes, favourite plants

  • chat about your build budget in order to guide the design phase

We love to see your Pinterest boards, magazine cut outs or to hear about your inspirations from viewing the likes of Your Garden Made Perfect or Garden Rescue.
The detailed design includes:

  • a concept plan with computer aided visuals with supplementary example images and sketches

  • construction detailing

  • setting-out plan

  • planting plan

  • lighting plan

  • drainage and irrigation plan

  • material and product specifications and quantities

  • breakdown of costs for the project build

The principles of a Terra Foras garden design

Simplicity and beauty

We believe that simplicity can be the most beautiful aspect of any garden design.

Passion for nature

Our work is a testament to our bold design and deep love for the outdoors.

Creativity and elegance

We work closely with our clients, allowing creativity to flourish while intertwining modern elegance with a vibrant passion for nature.

Harmony with nature

Our designs draw inspiration from the natural world, and we use design techniques modelled on natural eco-systems to create environments that rejuvenate the soul and increase biodiversity.

Holistic approach

We strive to reconcile the human-built environment with the natural world, adopting a holistic permaculture approach to garden management.

Enhanced biodiversity

We prioritise eco-friendly design techniques that rejuvenate the soul while increasing biodiversity and enriching the common landscape.

Eco-friendly landscapes

Unlike resource-intensive conventional landscapes, our designs are ecologically sound, healthy, and environmentally friendly.

“Driven by a dislike and disillusionment of a large part of an existing garden, we embarked on quest to radically improve this part of our property. The part of the garden in question was an unattractive ‘dead’ space which suffered from excessive hard surfaces and little or no aesthetic appeal. It was Terra Foras’s design led approach and innovative thinking that attracted us to them. We hoped the garden redesign would create a visually exciting and very useable external space. This has, without question, been achieved”

Our garden builds involve a detailed breakdown of elements, enabling us to provide an estimated cost for each aspect.

While our projects typically involve garden makeovers ranging from £20,000 to £50,000 on average, the final cost is tailored to a client's unique requirements.

We have worked on garden projects with budgets of £100,000, and for clients looking for support to install a simple garden gate or path, highlighting our ability to accommodate various budget levels. For a comprehensive garden makeover project, a minimum budget of £10,000 is typically realistic, ensuring that we can create the transformation you desire.
