Initial Visit /
Consultation
|
| After contacting us we will
arrange an initial visit to discuss your garden and introduce
you to the way we work. At this meeting we discuss all the
issues, your tastes and requirements, to the extent of formulating
a brief. Subsequently we will be able to provide you with
a quotation for at least the first stage of any design work. |

|
|
Site Survey
|
| An accurate survey of the existing
garden is needed before any design work can take place. This
is undertaken either by ourselves, or in the case of larger
or more complex sites, a land surveyor. It shows the house,
boundaries, existing features and levels required for the
subsequent preparation of the garden design. |
|
|
Outline Plan /
Masterplan
|
|
The garden design consists of an Outline Plan (or Masterplan
for larger sites) together with artists impressions and
supporting visuals to show you how the final garden will
look. It acts as a discussion document allowing us to present
our ideas and talk through any changes you may wish to make
as well as being a blueprint for project phasing (if necessary)
and further detail design work.

|
Layout Plan /
Construction
Drawings
|
| The Layout Plan incorporates
any amendments agreed with you and is the plan from which
a landscape contractor will be able to cost, set out and build
the garden. Construction drawings of specific garden structures,
water features or hard surfaces may be required and will accompany
the Layout Plan. |
|
|
Planting Plan
and Schedule
|
| The Planting Plan shows the
location and spacing of all the plants, both new and existing,
in the design. An accompanying Schedule lists the plant names,
sizes and quantities and is used for costing, ordering and
setting out the plants. |
|
|
Project
Monitoring
|
| To ensure a satisfactory outcome
we are available to monitor the progress of the garden as
it is implemented |
|
|
Planting and Maintenance
|
| After the garden has been constructed
we we are able to source, supply and set out all the plants
in your garden and organise the planting. We can also prepare
easy to understand maintenance guidelines to ease you gently
into caring for your new garden. |
