The design process is integral to the construction and growth of your garden. The design process is split into stages, as listed below.

Initial Consultation:

Initial meeting to discuss your requirements - where the design brief is outlined. We offer advice on materials, and costings to determine the extent of works etc. The initial consultation is free of charge.

Site Survey:

Measurement of site including aspect of garden, outline of drainage etc, and other issues that may affect the design. A soil test is undertaken where necessary. The site is also photographed to aid design.

Second Meeting:

Preliminary design sketches are unveiled, with a proposed final design. Material samples are looked at, and rough costings outlined, along with planting schemes. During this meeting the final design is settled upon.

Third Meeting:

Final drawing unveiled and discussed, from which a fully itemised quote can be drawn up.

In some cases clients feel that after the second meeting they are happy with the design and materials, and, in order to keep design costs to a minimum they do not require a final drawing. The proposed final design is a workable plan for construction. We then move onto the quotation and exact costings.

Whether you are looking to improve a certain area of your garden or you are looking for a complete overhaul, the design process is the most important part of the works. When carrying out a project in your garden it is very easy to lose sight of your final goal and make hasty decisions in material choice and space arrangement etc. By going through the design process as outlined above, be it by yourself or through us, it helps to eliminate these problems and keeps focus on a design you are happy with.
