Garden Design Services
Whether you have moved into a property with a solely turfed garden or with a layout that does not work for your needs, it can sometimes feel like an enormous task to decipher what you want to do with any space.
Often a garden is a similar footprint to the house, or sometimes even bigger, yet the space is not utilised to its full capacity and shows very little of the owner's personality or needs. Given the price of land in the UK, our gardens deserve as much love and attention as our homes, and should be used to their full potential.
If you feel unsure about how to maximise your garden and really make the most out of it or you are unsure of how to convert your ideas into reality, then involving a designer at an early stage can prove extremely beneficial.
Every project and every client is different, so the services we offer vary to ensure that you get the assistance you need. Plans and budgets are discussed at the first meeting, allowing us to create your own bespoke package.
The following services are an idea of the levels of involvement that can be included in your package.
Planting Design Services
Planting is an integral part of any garden and can mean the difference between a bland and boring space, and an exciting, vibrant garden which is full of life offering all-year-round interest. Therefore, we can also work with you to create a planting plan to ensure the space is maximised to its full potential.
This can be applied to a single area or
the full garden redesign.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the process?
Initially, we would have a brief phone call to discuss your project and I would explain the process to you.
Following the initial call, we would book an in-depth meeting to discuss your likes, dislikes and aspirations for the space. This would usually take between 1-2 hours depending on the size and complexity of your project. From the information gathered, I would create a proposal for your project including all the details taken throughout the meeting.
If you are happy with the proposal and wish to proceed, I would then carry out a detailed garden survey.
Following the garden survey, I would produce a design scheme for you; this would outline my ideas for your new garden showing the shape of the borders, any hard landscaping and features required (patios, paths, ponds, decking, etc), and an indication of the type of plants to be used. We would book an additional meeting to discuss the design to ensure that you are happy with it and make any necessary tweaks.
Following this meeting, I would produce the final design which would include a fully labelled, to scale drawing.
If you have opted for a planting proposal in addition to the design, this would also be produced after
approval of the final design.
How much does this service cost?
Prices vary depending on the size and
complexity of your plot.
However, as a guide only, the garden design services would start at £400 for anything up to a 100sqm level plot and the planting design service for the same plot would be an additional £200.
Who will work on my landscape?
Some clients are happy to carry out the work themselves or have previously worked with a landscaper who they wish to re-employ.
If you wish to contract out the landscaping services, then I would be happy to recommend local companies to provide a quote.
