THE GARDEN DESIGN PROCESS
Introduction
The design process begins with a visit to site and a conversation with the client about what they are looking for. We discuss possibilities, options and clients can get some idea about what garden elements might cost.
Analysis
The site is surveyed and analysed thoroughly to establish opportunities and constraints. If the site is small, the survey can be done in-house, whereas a larger or more complex site will require a topographic survey. An in-depth conversation (or two!) will be captured and turned into a written brief which is then agreed by the client.
Drawings
Sketch drawings are produced and then discussed with the client. Once the client is happy, a final concept plan is produced, along with setting out drawings to communicate construction information. Supporting documentation aids landscapers give comprehensive and accurate quotes.
Construction
If required, we can take a role in the tender process, helping clients to select the right landscaper for the job. We can also help with monitoring the project; ensuring that the build process runs smoothly and the design is perfectly brought to life.
Planting plans
An excellent knowledge of plants comes into play, to create plans where plants are perfectly chosen for each spot. Form, texture and colour are all carefully considered to create beautiful planting schemes that look good all year round.
Planting
Our team can plant up the garden; sourcing the healthiest and loveliest specimens. It's critical to us that care and attention to detail go into planting, in order that plants thrive in their environment. We also offer an after-care service and can tend to the new plants for six months after planting, before handing clients over to someone to take care of the plants into the future
if required.
