Advice and Inspiration
Not everyone wants or needs a full design service with detailed drawings. My Advice & Inspiration service provides a cost-effective alternative.
Maybe you need advice or a fresh perspective on how to improve your existing garden or sort out a particular problem? It might be how to create more privacy or ideas on how to brighten up your planting or achieve a certain style. You might be unsure how to make the best of your balcony, roof terrace or garden.
For a fixed fee of £150, I will visit your garden to share my design skills and plant knowledge and afterwards provide a write-up of our discussions so that you have a permanent record. Visits last one hour and I can usually provide your personal written notes within five working days.
