Garden Design
A comprehensive garden design service, shaping your outdoor space from initial concept through to detailed proposals. Designs respond to the architecture, landscape and way the garden will be used, resulting in a timeless, cohesive scheme with long-term appeal.
The Design Process
1. Initial visit and consultation
The initial visit allows us the opportunity to understand the space and to discuss your ideas and aspirations for the garden. This will be followed up with a written brief and quote.
2. Site analysis and survey
We generally work in CAD from professional topographical surveys which include details of existing buildings, trees, levels etc, in an accurate format. For simple gardens we may carry out the survey ourselves.
3. Concept design
An outline design will be produced along with mood boards, sketches and images to illustrate the ideas discussed, followed by a presentation plan once all changes have been agreed.
4. Specification and construction plans
Any necessary technical drawings will be completed with associated documentation in order to obtain accurate quotations from contractors.
5. From plan to build
We work with a number of local contractors who we can connect you with. Once a contractor has been appointed and the work begins we can offer a project monitoring service to ensure the build is done to the highest quality and to assist with any alterations.
6. Planting
A detailed plant list or planting plan will complete the project, with an illustrated schedule which shows the range of plants. Once approved we can obtain quotes from nurseries. A maintenance schedule can be provided to assist with any ongoing maintenance in the garden.
7. Other services
The design process is pretty flexible and sometimes the whole process is not needed or might be more than the project requires, so we also offer shorter garden consultations and planting consultations.
8. Detail
We have enjoyed working alongside local boatbuilders and craftspeople to create various bespoke elements.
