Initial Consultation

Give us a call and we can talk. We’ll arrange a free consultation at your property to discuss the options for improving your outside space. If you have plenty of ideas that you would like to see come to life, great. If not, don’t worry, we are never short of inspirational ideas for beautiful gardens and landscapes designed just for you.

Following the consultation we will provide you with a detailed fee proposal with your requirements clearly outlined. From just an informal discussion you will have a design that not only looks the way you hoped, but also has atmosphere and takes into account the small details that make life easier.

Whether you’re after a well designed wilderness for your country retreat or a peaceful patch of green at your workplace we can create the right space for you.

Site Survey

Site surveys are an essential part of the garden design process. A well conducted site survey is vital in order to create accurate design plans and prevent unnecessary expenditure and design changes in the future.

Once you are happy with your basic design, we will complete a full site survey and then draw up accurate scale plans. For larger or more complicate sites we’ll often use a dedicated and professional land surveyor to do the job.

If you already have a recent and accurate survey of your property, never fear, we will be happy to use the data where possible. We will simply need to complete a site analysis to ensure that we have assessed all of the potential opportunities and limitations of your space.

Outline Plan

Now for the exciting part – plans! At this stage you will really begin to see your new garden coming to life.

The design is drawn up and hand shaded to help you visualise your new garden. All of our designs are created in 2D using professional software (CAD) to ensure accuracy. 3D plans can also be included as part of the design package as many people find the added perspective helpful in visualising the finished project.

Design in hand, we’ll present our ideas for your garden and talk through any changes that you may wish to make. Another bonus of creating plans using CAD is that amendments can be made quickly and easily and then emailed straight to you for approval.

Construction Drawings and Tendering

Having seen the finalised design plans, you’ll be itching to get building. On your go ahead, we’ll create any further drawings that a contractor will require for construction and then the process of finding a contractor will begin.

We don’t employ our own contractors as this enables us to hire the most qualified craftsmen for each project. However, we do have excellent links with the best contractors around and we’ll be happy to arrange for them to quote for your garden project.

We’ll even prepare all the tendering documentation needed for receiving quotes for your job. This ensures fair price comparisons are made for all contractors and it also ensures that you have the garden built that you expect.

Contract Administration

Making sure that building work progresses to plan can be a full-time job. Without someone to ask the right questions and oversee a build, things can get delayed and do not always go to plan.

We are available to monitor all works to completion, ensuring that your build is finished to a high standard, to agreed timescales and to budget. We can event handle all liaison with architects, council officer, contractors and other professionals for you.

Communication and attention to detail are both key to the success of building projects. We’re happy to worry about all of the details, big and small, so that you don’t have to. We will take the stress out of your build so that you can just sit back and watch it happen!

Planting Plans

Plants aren’t just a finishing touch to a garden; they are an integral part of a design which aid in the formation of a landscape’s character.

Most of our clients ask for new planting beds to compliment their new garden, however some simply ask that their existing beds undergo a little revitalisation. Whatever your requirements, we can create a planting plan to illustrate exactly how your beds will be arranged, as well as offering a full plant supply and planting service.

To ensure that your plants stay looking as good as the rest of your garden, we’ll provide detailed maintenance schedules and can always help with garden maintenance techniques for uncertain gardeners.
