Initial Consultation
We visit you and view your garden, note your likes and dislikes, special instructions and features you would like included in your garden.  There is a £50 fee for this consultation, which lasts about one and a half hours, which is refundable against a design commission.

Design Brief and Costs
We send you a design brief and give you a price for preparing a design as required.

Concept Plan
We survey the garden and do a site analysis.  From these a concept plan is prepared and presented to you, along with sketches and/or images to illustrate our ideas.  Any revisions to the design may be made at this stage free of charge.

Presentation Plan
Final plans are drawn up incorporating any revisions that were identified at concept plan stage.  We also prepare construction drawings and setting out plans and a specification of works as required.

Project Monitoring
If required we can liaise with contractors to monitor the project and ensure that design specifications are met.

A tired or neglected front garden will create a negative impression of your property whereas a well designed one will enhance it.  It is possible to create a ‘wow factor’ in a front garden which is a low maintenance area where parking for the car is required.  We can offer you sustainable design solutions compliant with new government legislation, which will be both functional and beautiful.

Planting plans can be commissioned alone or as part of a garden design package. We will note all your plant likes and dislikes and advise on sustainable plant choices.  (Choosing plants that will thrive in a particular location ensures they will require less irrigation, fertilizer and will minimise plant losses.)  Planting plans are prepared and presented along with images to explain plant choices.  A plant list is supplied and also an annual maintenance plan.

We can supply top-quality plants at competitive prices, we can also set out and arrange planting if required.

We can visit your garden to discuss any problems or plans you may have for your garden.  The visit will usually last around one and a half hours. We will make notes and prepare a report offering design solutions, advice on sustainability, product sourcing, and any other issues specific to your garden.  Cost: £145 plus mileage.

Would you like to learn more about your garden and how to care for it?  We offer one hour sessions in your garden so you can learn any aspect of gardening you wish – such as maintaining the lawn, improving the borders, pruning and getting started with fruit and vegetables.  Sessions cost £35 plus mileage.
