When landscape garden designers Vivian and Nicola were recommended to work with me, they already had an excellent reputation for creating beautiful outdoor spaces. Their knowledge of planting schemes, garden design and creating unique landscapes had earned them loyal clients, but they felt that their brand no longer reflected the quality of their work or the direction they wanted to take the business. They needed more than a new website. They wanted a brand that would showcase their creativity, professionalism and expertise while attracting the type of clients who appreciated thoughtful, bespoke garden design.
Looking Beyond a Logo
Rather than jumping straight into the visuals, we spent time understanding the personality of the business, what made them different and how they wanted people to feel when they discovered them. Their passion for plants, natural textures and carefully considered design was evident in every conversation. They weren’t simply creating gardens. They were designing outdoor spaces that felt timeless, elegant and connected to nature. The new brand needed to communicate that level of craftsmanship and expertise.
Bringing Their Work to Life
One of the most important decisions we made was to invest in professional photography. Beautiful landscape design deserves beautiful imagery and we wanted potential clients to experience the quality of their work before they even picked up the phone.
Working alongside a professional photographer, we created a portfolio of striking images that showcased the detail, planting combinations and finished gardens in the best possible light. Alongside the photography, we developed a new website and refreshed visual identity that allowed their projects to take centre stage. The result was clean, elegant and sophisticated, reflecting both the business and the high end gardens they create.
The Results
The rebrand gave the business the confidence and credibility to move into its next stage of growth. Following the launch, they formed a partnership with a landscape construction company, allowing them to offer clients a complete service from initial concept and garden design through to the finished build. This created a stronger business model, expanded the services they could offer and positioned them as a complete design and landscaping solution rather than a design practice alone. Their reputation continued to grow and the business went from strength to strength, attracting clients who valued creativity, expertise and beautifully considered outdoor spaces.
What This Project Demonstrates
A successful brand isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about revealing what has always been there and presenting it with clarity and confidence. By combining strategic branding, professional photography and a website that truly reflected the quality of their work, this garden design business was able to elevate its positioning, attract the right opportunities and build partnerships that supported long term growth. Sometimes the strongest brands grow in exactly the same way as the best gardens. They begin with solid foundations, are carefully nurtured and flourish over time.
“Working with Lisa completely changed how we saw our business. We originally came to her for a new website, but she helped us create a brand that truly reflected our creativity, expertise and passion for garden design. From refining our message to recommending professional photography, every decision was made with our long term goals in mind. The finished brand gave us the confidence to grow, attract the right clients and develop a partnership that now allows us to offer a complete design and build service.
Lisa has an incredible ability to listen, understand your vision and turn it into a brand that feels authentic and professional. We are delighted with the results and would highly recommend her to any business looking to elevate its brand.”
