The Design Process
The first step is a consultancy visit. It is a good idea if you prepare by making notes of how you want to use your garden and what style, materials and plants you like. I like to hear your own ideas to which I can bring my experience and expertise. I will show you my portfolio which, besides demonstrating what I have achieved, will illustrate the stages of the design process. It will also give you more design ideas and provide me with a fuller picture of what you like and dislike.
This can take at least 1 hour and more for a large or complex project. You may find that this visit is all you need to design your garden yourselves.
Based on our discussions I will draw up a design brief for your approval which will be included in my quotation for the design service. Each planning stage has a fixed fee, worked out according to the complexity of the project.
