The full design process

This gives me a chance to see your garden and for us to meet, explore your vision for your garden and how you intend to use it. Taking some photos, checking boundaries as well as access, and maybe sketching a few ideas. You can ask questions and we can discuss the further stages, time scale and your rough budget.  

After our meeting we will send over a proposal with all information discussed and the cost breakdown for further stages. 

Stage 1 meetings are £150 prior to meeting and usually last 60 to 90 minutes.

Once you are happy with everything and want to continue to the next stage we can start the fun bit. We’ll give you a little bit of homework in the form of a customer questionnaire. We also invite you to collect images of gardens or features that you like. This gives us all the information we need for the design to take shape. We also require a full site survey with some soil tests. If the space is relatively small or simple we can measure it, but with larger more complex spaces we will need a topographical survey which we can help you arrange. After we have this information we will design some concept designs for you. Putting together some mood boards of material and plant choices, and some sketches showing all aspects of the concept. Quite often there will be 2 or 3 designs for you to look over. Most concepts are done in 2D with some 3D images included to help you visualise the space. We can create full 3D designs with CAD software if requested or if we feel the design will benifit from it. You can look over these designs in your own time and then we can sit down, make any requested changes and agree on a final design.

Stage 2 cost range is £350 -£1150 depending on size of garden. (May require a couple of meetings via Zoom or on site to discuss designs. this is included in cost)

External topographical survey if needed is not included in cost. 

Once happy and a final design has been agreed. We will create a full master plan. All to scale, all materials fully specified with drawings of construction details for a landscaper to quote. We can produce a planting plan showing the location of each plant or tree. We can also produce a lighting plan, all lights will have to be installed by a qualified electrician. 

We can help find a suitable landscaper to build your garden, or you can use the plans to find your own. 

We can supply a quote for all of the plants and set out and plant them on site once the landscaper has completed the hard landscaping if required

Stage 3 mater plan including planting plan and construction detail. Cost range £500 - £1500

Additional lighting plan £250

Addition of plants and planting to be quoted separately. (When plants are supplied full aftercare list is provided)

We can visit site to check on the build progress and liaise with the landscapers if any questions arise. 

We will supply a list of plants and materials for any maintenance required to keep your new garden looking it’s best. We love to see gardens establish so we would love to come back and see its progress if you’ll have us. This gives us a chance to check the planting and take a few snaps. 

2 x Site visits included with cost of master plan.
