Landscape Design
The process of working with Deborah was clear and efficient, she was extremely helpful and accommodating and achieved a fantastic design incorporating every single detail we asked for - which we didn’t think would even be possible! Highly recommended.

Deborah delivered a wonderful plan for our Twickenham garden. Deborah is the commensurate professional. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is responsive, does what she says she will on-time and thoroughly. The most exciting bit is the beautiful and bespoke plan she delivers at the end of the process. More...

We have been really impressed with the design and planting plan we have received from Deborah!
She has gone into great detail initially to understand our needs and likes and her plan on our little garden has surpassed our expectations of what we could achieve!
It’s also been great for us in the fact that now we have the plan, we can do bits as and when but ultimately have a final plan to work too! Would 100% recommend
Excellent value for money too!

What do you love most about your job?
I love to combine my creative and scientific sides to bring people's dream garden to reality.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I am a Garden Designer and a Biologist. After obtaining my PhD and working as a scientist for some years, I decided to embrace my creativity and passion for plants and completed a post graduate course with the British Academy of Garden Design with merit. My designs combine my strong plant and environment knowledge with a keen aesthetic perception that I have gained from having lived in two very culturally different countries: Brazil, where I was born and raised, and the UK, where I currently live i.
Why should our clients choose you?
The Rooted Concept Garden Designs believes that these services shouldn’t be luxurious or expensive. If you’re happy with the general layout of your garden but struggling to decide what to plant and where, then a professional plant selection tailored to you and your garden could make a big difference, resulting in more colour and less maintenance. Finally, we provide online garden design, which in itself reduces the costs
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, I have done online services with several clients which have worked brilliantly. I will send you a questionnaire and step-by-step guide that, with pictures of your current garden, will inform the design that I will produce for your garden. Once completed, I will send you the product via email.
Landscape/Garden Design
This service culminates with a Garden Design Package document, which is the blueprint for the construction and planting of your new garden. To get there, I take you on a collaborative journey in which I take your style, dreams and needs, and combine it with your garden's unique conditions to get to a design that not only gives you a garden that looks good year around, but that also is meaningful to you. Your feedback is taken into account during the process, as we have a discussion about my initial view for your garden and its 3D visuals mid-way to ensure that everyone is happy. I also offer plant sourcing and project monitoring as optional services after the Design Package is done if you would like me to stay involved with the project untill it is brought to life.
Planting Design
I will make a planting selection for you based on your tastes and needs, aesthetics and also on your specific garden conditions so that the planting thrives for years to come. In addition to the Planting plan itself drawn to scale in a professional Landscape software, you will also receive a Illustrative catalogue of the planting, consisting of pictures of the selected plants in position so you have an idea of what it will look like and also a list of quantities of each plant specimen present in the design to aid on the quotes and buying stages.This service can be done face to face in the Twickenham area or online for the rest of the country. For this, I will send you a very simple guideline for you to measure and assess your planting area and a questionnaire to establish your tastes and needs. These, together with pictures that I will ask you for will inform the design that I will produce for you. This online workflow has already worked brilliantly for a lot of costumers.
