The Design Process
Step 1: Initial Meeting and Design Brief
Creating a garden is like starting a journey together, so the first step is to meet and see if we’re the right fit. During this visit, we’ll show you examples of our work, and you can share your garden and ideas with us.
If we decide to move forward, we’ll schedule a full consultation to learn more about you, your family, and what you’re looking for in your garden—your style, needs, and dreams. Afterward, we’ll send you a summary of your brief, some advice, and a quote for any services you may need.
Step 2: Site Survey and Analysis
Next, we’ll measure and assess your garden. For smaller, simpler spaces, we’ll do this ourselves. For larger or more complex gardens, we may bring in a professional surveyor.
We’ll take note of everything—sunlight and shade, soil type, drainage, levels, and even hidden details like pipes or cables. This step also involves spending time in your garden to get a sense of its character and how it fits within the surrounding landscape.
Step 3 : Concept Design
Using The brief and survey details, we’ll create a concept design – a first look at your garden’s potential. This includes : a plan with creative ideas tailored to you. 3D images to help you picture the design. A mood board with photos and materials samples. We’ll review the design with you, gather your feedback and discuss the budget before moving forward
Step 4 : The Master Plan
After refining the concept, we’ll prepare the masterplan. This is a detailed, scaled drawing of your garden’s design, showing all features and elements.
The masterplan serves as the blueprint for landscapers to base their costs and construction work on. If needed, we can also include construction details and a lighting plan to complete the design.
It is important that we use the right plant for the right place, and we have a particular interest in plants for beneficial wildlife.
Our Projects
I am a dedicated Horticulturist and Garden Designer with a degree in Environmental Science and Ecology, rooted in a lifelong love for the natural world.
Growing up in East and West Africa, my childhood was filled with barefoot adventures—climbing trees, exploring termite mounds, and watching hyenas descend from the mountains with my father. These formative years instilled in me a deep appreciation for the beauty and complexity of nature, as well as a curiosity that has driven my career ever since.
After earning my RHS Diploma in Horticulture, I founded Nectar Gardens in 2015 as a garden maintenance company serving South West London and Surrey. Over time, our team and services have expanded to include ecological garden design and build projects, all underpinned by a commitment to sustainable practices and wildlife-friendly gardening. We prioritise sustainable methods to create gardens that are not only beautiful but also safe for people, pets, and pollinators.
In pursuit of deeper design expertise, I graduated from the prestigious KLC School of Design with a Diploma in Garden Design in 2019. I have had the privilege of working on award-winning show gardens at Hampton Court and Chelsea, and I’ve designed and built residential gardens that seamlessly blend aesthetics, ecology, and functionality.
Today, I lead Nectar Gardens with the same sense of adventure and curiosity that shaped my youth, helping clients create outdoor spaces that nurture both biodiversity and human connection to nature.

Meet Kevin
Hi, I’m Kevin.
From a young age, I’ve been captivated by the natural world—spending my childhood outdoors, observing birds, exploring insects in the garden, and wandering the local common. My love for creativity led me to art school to train as an illustrator, but life took an unexpected turn, and I found myself working as a draughtsperson and CAD operator in manufacturing. This experience gave me a solid foundation of practical skills that I now bring to Nectar Gardens.
Over 20 years ago, I joined a local conservation group on the North Downs, deepening my understanding of ecological preservation. For five enjoyable years, I worked part-time at the RHS Wisley Plant Centre, where I was immersed in their incredible selection of plants. While that was an enriching experience, nothing compares to the excitement of arriving at a garden for the first time—each one filled with potential and unique charm.
I find joy in every season, whether it’s the vibrant blooms of spring bulbs, the fiery hues of autumn leaves, or the simple pleasure of spotting the year’s first snowdrop or crocus. Connecting with nature and sharing its wonders with others is what inspires me every day. Gardens, like woodlands, are magical spaces full of sights, smells, and sounds that allow us to reconnect with ourselves and the world around us.
At Nectar Gardens, we understand that every garden has its own story. Whether you’re looking to enhance your space for pollinators, introduce a water feature for wildlife, create a vegetable patch, or plant borders for cut flowers, the possibilities are endless. We work closely with you to bring your vision to life while respecting the natural balance of your garden’s soil, light, and plants.
Take a moment to appreciate your garden as it is—and imagine what it could become. Together, we can create something extraordinary.
