Garden Design Service
Designs can be provided for your whole garden or for specific areas. These can include detailed planting plans or simple recommendations on planting style, whichever you require. For a fixed fee (reflecting the size and complexity of your project), I will provide:
Initial Consultation - free of charge
Ideally I like to meet clients on site as this enables me to understand its characteristics and the opportunities and challenges it presents. At this first meeting we will discuss your requirements; how you want to use your garden, your likes and dislikes, what you need to have and what you would like, preferred styles and budget.
Design Brief
Following the visit I will send you a draft design brief and a quote for producing your design. This will summarise our discussions and detail what you want to achieve from your garden, what features its need to include or what problems it is seeking to solve.
Site Survey and Appraisal
Once we have agreed the brief, I will need to visit the site to complete a full site survey and appraisal. This will ensure that I have all the detailed information and measurements needed to provide a successful design. If your site is very large or complex it may be necessary to commission a professional surveyor to provide this.
- Free initial consultation
- Client brief
- Minimum two alternative design concepts - simple plans with sketches and mood images
- Final detailed plan, drawn to scale

Initial Design Concepts
I provide a minimum of two design concepts . Each one will be a simple outline plan of potential designs with accompanying mood images, providing a visual medium for us to discuss and refine ideas which will be developed into the final design.
Final Design
The final design will be drawn to scale and fully detailed to indicate hard-landscaping, planting areas and trees, features and any structures. The technical masterplan will contain all the information you and your landscaper or builder needs to successfully implement the design. Plans are provided as pdf files and paper copies.
