Initial Consultation

After an initial phone call, I will ideally meet you on site to discuss your wishes face to face, take photos, soil samples and prepare a brief.​I may also ask you to fill out a simple questionnaire after our meeting just so that I have a working template of your requirements and we have all areas covered.

Depending on the size of your plot, I will either carry out a measured survey or contract a local specialist to carry out a topographical survey.​This ensures that we are starting the design with known distances and levels. It is a crucial part of the process and will allow me to understand your plot and model it in 3D if neccessary.

Concept Plan

The fun begins! I will work with you to agree a concept design. This is generally a hand drawn rough sketch so that we can agree what should go where, which areas are to be planted and where the hard landscaping would go.​It is an iterative process and will help you start to see your plans come to life!

Once we have agreed the Concept Plan, I will create a set of detailed design documents. These will detail hard landscaping elements and electrical and lighting layouts.​They are the basis of your tender document to receive quotes from professional landscape companies.

Once you have accepted a quote, I will be on hand to help with your build should any queries arise, or manage the landscapers myself should you require it.
