Horticultural Consultation & Design Strategy

30 Years of Botanical Expertise at Your Service

A great garden begins with a deep understanding of the land. At Mimosa, our consultation service is a comprehensive diagnostic process led by Basil, drawing on three decades of experience in the London landscaping industry. We don’t just look at your garden; we analyse its potential, its limitations, and its future.

Comprehensive Site Analysis

Our consultation begins with a professional assessment of your outdoor space. We evaluate the critical biological and environmental factors that will determine the success of your garden:

• Soil & Drainage Profile: Analysing soil composition and water retention to ensure the right foundations.

• Micro-climate Mapping: Evaluating sunlight exposure and wind patterns to select plants that will truly thrive.

• Structural Integrity: Reviewing existing hardscaping, brickwork, and levels to identify opportunities for enhancement.

Bespoke Design Philosophy: Form & Function

Based on our assessment and your personal vision, we develop a design strategy that balances aesthetics with practicality. Whether you are seeking a secluded urban retreat or a vibrant space for entertaining, we provide:

• Spatial Planning: Optimising your layout to reflect your lifestyle and personality.

• Material Curation: Expert advice on stone, timber, and finishes that complement your home’s architecture.

• Horticultural Strategy: A planting plan tailored to your desired maintenance level, ensuring long-term beauty without the hassle.
