WORKING TOGETHER

All designs are completely bespoke to my clients’ wishes and aspirations, their properties and lifestyles, whilst always maintaining practical considerations. You’ll receive a personalised service from the very start to completion.

CONSULTATION

The initial consultation starts the design journey. Together, we walk around your garden, discuss what you'd like to achieve, how you would like to use your garden, and the way we will be working together. We also chat about budget and timelines.

Further to my visit, I’ll send you a summary of our discussion which forms the basis of the brief. With agreement to the brief, you will receive a fee proposal which outlines the timelines and costs against each stage.

SITE SURVEY & CONCEPT DESIGN

Next, is the site analysis and topographical survey of your garden. The survey is necessary to draw up the outline plan accurately to scale and to show the new ideas in situ. The garden space is measured in detail, mapping out boundaries, major features, trees, garden buildings, beds and borders. Ground levels are assessed and measured and any services and utilities are plotted.

Once the survey has been completed, I'll provide a concept design of your garden with supporting mood boards.

The overall concept plan will be drawn up to scale showing your garden with recommendations for any features, lighting locations and the feel of the planting style . You’ll also be able to see and feel samples of recommended landscape materials.

MASTER PLANNING

Once the concept design has been agreed, the master planning stage includes the final plan with setting out specifications, detailed drawings and elevations. These drawings are referenced by the landscape contractor to provide a quotation for the works and also to build from.

PLANTING PLAN

By this stage you will already have a flavour of what the planting will look like. This is the detailed planting plan that will show where the plants will be positioned in your garden. The plan will be drawn to scale with the names of the plants listed, presented along with image boards that show each plant. Once agreed, the final plant list will be sent off for quotation to the wholesale nursery and delivery date arranged.

BUILD MONITORING

This service includes overseeing the build to ensure that all is going to plan and as expected. I will also be on hand to answer any queries during the build time. 

I visit the site to oversee the setting out, during the build and at the finish. I also personally oversee the setting out of all the plants before they are planted.
