Garden Design

Good garden design is all about making the space work for you by matching yours needs and preferences - what you want from your garden - to the fixed conditions of your plot, from its size and outlook to the type of soil and the time you have to spend maintaining it.

Having an overall design for your garden gives a focus to your ideas and hence the garden. It is far better to stand back and look at the overall picture rather than tacking areas individually and ending up with a garden which is inconsistent and disjointed.

The design process starts with a consultation, for which there is a small charge. At this meeting I establish the brief for the design; the style of the garden, features to be retained and those to be discarded, choice of landscape materials, time and experience available to maintain the garden, plant preferences and colour schemes, etc.

Also, having seen the garden and what the design may or may not entail, I will have a clearer idea of the costs involved and can advise accordingly. The client can then set the budget for the project.

Following the consultation I will put the brief in writing and quote a fixed fee for the design and the planting plans. If the client is agreeable, a survey of the site is then carried out and work on the design can begin.
