This is an opportunity for us to meet and discuss your needs and aspirations for your garden and to gain an understanding of your lifestyle. We can take a look at the garden whilst discussing style, material, and colour preferences, as well as considerations or limitations of the site. I can then prepare a client brief and quotation for my design work for your review.

The survey is an important stage in the process as it ensures that the subsequent designs are drawn acutely for the site. A professional surveyor will be instructed to measure your garden, its boundaries, features and levels. I will subsequently come to do an analysis - recording details of the house and garden, its orientation and access, and to take reference photographs.

I will produce a scale concept plan along with 3D images, focusing on layout rather than specific details. I will take you through the design and gain your feedback.

This is the final design package and will include a plan drawing, 3D renders and material choices.

Once we have agreed on the master plan, I will draft the design specification. You will receive a package which includes the setting out plan (detailing exact materials, precise measurements, and levels) and cross sections drawings [if relevant]). You can use these to get quotes from landscaping companies, and once chosen, they will act as their guide to complete the garden project.

Plants are carefully chosen to suit your garden’s soil conditions, aspect (sun or shade), your preferences, and level of preferred maintenance. You will receive a planting plan for new and existing flower beds along with a plant schedule which will include image references, names and quantities of the plants. I will source the plants and organise the delivery of these and once delivered I can assist the chosen landscapers to lay out the plants.
