Design Services

The key to successful garden design is understanding exactly how the garden will be used and the aspirations of the client. Whether you have a large garden or a single bed which needs re-thinking, Sue will be happy to discuss your ideas & believes that the garden can improve your quality of life and enhance the value of your property.

 

The Process

Following agreement of the design brief, a Design Fee Proposal will be submitted based on the estimated number of hours required to complete each of the three design stages.

 

Concept Design:

We will survey the existing garden area for size, orientation, levels, soil type & existing plants. You will then receive a hand-draw & coloured Concept Design plan & sketches with photographic plant & building material references. These boards are yours to keep and can be mounted as original artworks.

 

Design Development:

Following discussion with you, we produce fully detailed plans including any agreed changes, plus instructions for landscape contractors estimates.

 

Planting Plans:

We provide detailed planting layouts with plant quantities for budget quotes before purchase. Upon agreement we will require a 50% plant budget deposit. We will also discuss any preparation work required such as tree surgery, pruning & soil preparation.

 

Project Management:

We will oversee the contractor’s work & discuss any changes with you.

 

Planting:

We will select & buy the plants as agreed, & provide a final estimate for planting. Our planting service fees are based on a day rate of £180.
