The Design Process Explained
Initial Visit
This onsite meeting will enable us to go through the design process and establish your needs, design preferences and practical requirements. This will also give us an opportunity to present our portfolio of recent work. We will then be able to provide you with a quote, design brief and preliminary sketch for you to consider.
Site Survey
Once you have approved the preliminary costs and design brief we will carry out a site survey to determine garden aspect, accurate dimensions, any varying levels and to record all existing outbuildings, key features and plant material.
Concept Plan
This will show the basic outline and layout with suggested features and proposed materials. This is to ensure that you are happy with the direction we are going in and gives us the opportunity to gain feedback on our progress. At this stage it is easy to amend our design direction if required.
Provisional Scale Plan
This is a more detailed version of the concept plan and the product of our previous discussions; any minor alterations can be made at this stage. Once approved this will provide the backbone to overall design.
The Final Plan
This will encompass both the final design and the planting plan. This is the fully detailed plan containing all modifications. You will be provided with a CAD scaled plan and a hand drawn perspective of the finished planted garden. The planting plan gives specific plant varieties suitable for the soil and the designated areas plus the size and number required. Detailed costs will also be provided.
