Our Expertise
Expert Garden Design Services in Cumbria
Creating a beautiful garden starts with understanding how you want to use your outdoor space. At Peter Cowell Garden Design, we create bespoke gardens that respond to the character of your property, your lifestyle and the distinctive Cumbrian landscape.
From the initial concept through to planting and implementation, our garden design services combine creative vision with practical expertise. Every element is carefully considered to create an outdoor space that feels natural, purposeful and enjoyable throughout the seasons.
-
Whether you are looking to transform a small garden, redesign an established landscape or create a complete new garden, we develop thoughtful designs tailored specifically to your property and aspirations.
Bespoke Garden Design
We create individually tailored garden designs rather than relying on one-size-fits-all solutions. The design considers your property's architecture, existing landscape, views, planting conditions and how you want to use the garden.
Planting & Landscape Design
Thoughtful planting is central to a successful garden. We develop planting schemes and landscape layouts that provide structure, seasonal interest and a strong connection with the surrounding Cumbrian landscape.
From Design to Completion
Where required, we can help take your project beyond the design stage, coordinating the practical elements needed to bring the finished garden to life. The result is a considered outdoor space where design, planting and landscape work together.

How We Work
Our Garden Design Process
Creating a successful garden starts with understanding your property, your lifestyle and how you want to use your outdoor space. Our garden design process takes you from the initial consultation through to a detailed design and, where required, project implementation.
Every project is different, so we tailor the process to your garden, requirements and aspirations.
-
01. Initial Consultation
We begin by discussing your ideas, requirements and vision for the garden. This is an opportunity to understand how you want to use the space, what you would like to change and what you hope to achieve.
-
02. Design Brief
We develop a clear design brief based on your priorities, the character of your property, your preferred style and the practical requirements of the garden.
-
03. Site Survey
A detailed assessment of the site helps us understand the existing landscape, levels, boundaries, views, planting conditions, access and other important features that will influence the design.
-
04. Concept Design
We turn your ideas into a considered garden concept, developing the layout, proportions, circulation and key landscape features to create a cohesive outdoor space.
-
05. 3D Visualisation & VR (Optional)
Where appropriate, 3D visualisation and virtual reality can help you understand how the proposed garden will look and feel before work begins.
-
06. Masterplan & Technical Drawings
Detailed masterplans and technical drawings provide a clear framework for the garden, helping communicate important design details and guide the implementation of the project.
-
07. Planting, Lighting & Material Selection
We carefully select planting, materials, lighting and other landscape elements to complement the design and create a garden that works throughout the seasons.
-
08. Project Implementation
Once the design is approved, the garden can move into implementation. We help ensure the design is translated into the finished outdoor space with attention to detail and quality.
-
09. Garden Aftercare
A new garden continues to evolve after completion. Where required, ongoing aftercare can help establish planting and maintain the garden as it develops over time.
