Garden Design Process

How does this work?

Firstly, we look at the practicalities. On first enquiry, you’ll be asked to complete a questionnaire to gather basic requirements that you have around how you want to be able to use the space: (To include growing vegetables? entertaining? children? pets? Any access considerations? Any privacy screening? The level of maintenance you anticipate?). You’ll also be asked about the available budget.

Secondly, we work to understand you: how do you want your garden to look and make you feel?

Third-the clever part- is to combine technical and horticultural knowledge with an artist’s eye, to design your special space.

Finally, we can also act on your behalf to ensure the contractor completes the job according to the design and specification.

What can I expect?

Once we have your questionnaire and any other relevant information or images that you have, an on-site consultation will be arranged. There is a fee for this which will be deducted from any subsequent chargeable work.

The initial consultation starts with a visit to your garden including a thorough examination of the terrain, situation and existing plants and features. We discuss all your garden design requirements and ideas about how you want to use your garden or landscape. You may wish to assist the design process by collecting and sharing images and articles of gardens and planting that you like. After the meeting you will receive a written client brief and fee estimate. This clarifies the scope of the project.

Then we move on to our key services:
