What we do
At Zoe Kilbride Garden Design, I offer a range of garden design services tailored to suit your space, your lifestyle, and your vision. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to refresh an existing garden, my aim is to make the process as clear, enjoyable, and inspiring as possible.
Working across Hertfordshire, Essex, and North London, I design timeless, considered gardens that connect beautifully with the home and surrounding landscape. From full redesigns to detailed planting plans, each garden is created to reflect your style, your needs, and the unique conditions of your site.
The process begins with a free no-obligation consultation, where I go through a detailed questionnaire to help shape the brief and get an understanding of your garden needs.
Garden Design
As a professional garden designer based in Hertfordshire, I create bespoke garden layouts that transform outdoor spaces—whether it's a compact courtyard in North London or a large rural garden in Essex. My garden design service includes an initial site visit and consultation, where I take measurements and give you a design questionnaire to understand your lifestyle, vision, and how you’d like to use your space.
You’ll receive a scaled concept plan, material suggestions, and a bespoke planting scheme, ready for implementation by your chosen landscaper. Every element is designed to enhance your home’s architecture and reflect your personal style—whether that’s contemporary, naturalistic, or a little of both.
Garden Consultations
If a full garden redesign isn’t quite what you need, I also offer flexible garden consultations across Hertfordshire and Essex. These one-off sessions are ideal if you’re managing the garden yourself or working with a landscaper and need expert input on layout, planting, or next steps.
We’ll walk through your garden together, explore what’s working (and what’s not), and identify small changes that can make a big impact. I’ll help you clarify your priorities, recommend suitable plants, and guide you towards a clear plan of action—tailored to your garden’s unique conditions.
Consultations are £120 per hour. If you're further afield, feel free to get in touch to discuss options.
Planting Plans
As a specialist in planting design in Hertfordshire and Essex, I love revitalising tired borders and giving new life to gardens that need a refresh. Whether you’ve had a new extension or garden room installed, or simply want to replace planting that’s no longer thriving, I’ll create a bespoke planting plan that enhances your space and suits your garden’s conditions.
Each plan is drawn to scale, with clear guidance on plant numbers, placement, and care. I can also source and install the plants for you, along with a custom care plan to keep them healthy long after planting.
