Professional Garden Design and Planting Advice – Wherever You Are in the UK
Designing a garden can feel like a daunting task. Many homeowners know they want to improve their outdoor space but aren't sure where to start. Traditionally, this meant arranging multiple site visits with a local designer. Today, however, remote garden design offers a flexible, affordable, and highly effective alternative.
At Green Palette Garden Design, we now work with clients across the UK, providing professional garden design, planting plans, and expert advice entirely online.

How Does Remote Garden Design Work?
The process is surprisingly simple.
Rather than relying on site visits, we work from photographs, videos, measurements, and online consultations. Most homeowners already have everything needed to get started.
Simply send us a few photographs of your garden, any existing plans or measurements you have, and a brief description of how you'd like to use the space. Whether you're dreaming of a wildlife-friendly garden, a family entertaining area, or a complete garden transformation, we'll use this information to develop ideas tailored to your needs.
Expert Advice Without the Cost of Traditional Design Services
One of the biggest advantages of remote garden design is accessibility.
By removing the need for travel and site visits, we can provide professional design support at a much lower cost than traditional garden design services. This allows homeowners to access qualified Landscape Architect expertise without committing to a large design fee.
Our remote approach is ideal for:
New homeowners looking for guidance
Garden renovation projects
Planting design and border improvements
DIY garden projects
Clients working alongside their own contractor
Anyone seeking professional advice before investing in works
Our Garden Design Services
To suit different projects and budgets, we offer three flexible services.

A tailored planting service designed to bring colour, structure, biodiversity, and year-round interest to your garden.
We provide planting layouts, plant palettes, moodboards, seasonal interest planning, wildlife-friendly recommendations, and maintenance schedules to help your garden thrive.
Complete Garden Design Package
For larger projects and complete garden transformations, we offer a comprehensive design service including concept development, garden layouts, materials recommendations, planting suggestions, sketches, and visualisations.
This package provides a clear roadmap for bringing your outdoor space to life.
Why Remote Garden Design Works
Many clients are surprised by how much can be achieved remotely.
With clear photographs, basic measurements, and good communication, we can understand how a garden functions, identify opportunities and constraints, and provide practical design solutions tailored to the space.
In fact, many successful garden projects begin with nothing more than a few photographs and a conversation.
