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.  I can recommend an approved contractor if required.

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 I 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 short consultations and planting plans.  Please contact Bean to enquire.

8/ Detail

We have enjoyed working alongside local boatbuilders and craftspeople to create various bespoke elements.
