Design Process
Preliminary Site Visit
This initial meeting will be to discuss how best I can help you with your garden ideas and requirements. Options on the best way forward, whether it is a full garden design or simply a few hours consultation with a follow-up report can be considered.
Client Brief
If a full design is required a Client Brief questionnaire will be left with you to complete. This information will give the foundations of the desired environment and every endeavour will be made to incorporate your wishes into a suitable design.
Site Survey
This survey will comprise all measurable elements within the garden boundaries and is particularly important if varying levels need to be taken into consideration. A Site Inventory will also be completed detailing existing features and elements. Where size and complexity dictates, it may be necessary to engage a professional surveyor who will invoice directly.
Sketch Plans
Sketch plans are made as a first draft which are discussed at a subsequent meeting. During this second consultation any changes or afterthoughts that may arise will be discussed in order to incorporate them into the finished plan; further meetings may be necessary depending on the complexity of the required features.
Presentation Plans
The finished garden design, together with any relevant elevation and perspective drawings, is presented to you. At this stage you can either choose to continue independently or to engage me to tender for a suitable landscape contractor to carry out the build.
