A Garden Design combines both the landscaping elements that you want in your garden along with a planting scheme that suits your lifestyle and tastes. When you have a well-designed, cohesive garden it saves you time and money in the long run, as well as adding that 'extra room' and even value to your property! It gives you a pleasing environment in which to sit, relax, dine or play and is great for your health and well-being.
As a Garden Designer who has worked in garden design and maintenance over 12 years, I really enjoy creating that kind of space for people. For examples of gardens I have designed please have a browse through my ‘Pictures & Projects’, but whether you like cottage-style or modern, Mediterranean or formal, I would love to hear from you (see contact details below or click on the tab) and together we can create a space that you will love for years to come.
Full Garden Design Service
My full garden design service is a comprehensive garden design of your whole garden with a view to that then being carried out either by a contractor, your regular gardener or by yourself. The Process:
Initial contact, and conversation via phone.
This is followed by me visiting you and your garden. If during this visit you would like to discuss ideas and advice that I can provide it may be that one of my GARDEN CONSULTATIONSis best at this stage (in fact, this applies in most cases). The price for this is £95* (see below); if we agree to go ahead with a full design this will be counted towards the deposit or taken off the final price.
Following the visit or consultation I will send you a Client Questionnaire, and once completed and terms agreed, the full deposit is payable.
I then carry out a site survey (measuring and assessing the plot).
From this I draw up a design to scale, using 2D software, which can be followed by a contractor, your regular gardener or by yourself. The drawing will look similar to the example shown below.
As well as the design I also provide you with a full plant list, including plant details and care, plus lists of suppliers if required.
The price also includes all the communication necessary throughout the process from survey to design to, if needed, the planting stage.
The full garden design can be done in one go or in phases - whichever suits your budget, time and the season. A full garden design typically costs from around £1000 upwards depending on the size of the garden and on the length of time needed to create the design. It would also probably involve visits to assess the progress of the build/design. Additional charges would apply if I was involved in any work, including consultation, post-design stage.
Border Designs & Planting Plans
If you have a border or borders that you would like designed or re-designed, this is one way to revitalise your garden without the need for a larger budget. The Process:
