Design process

From first site meeting to finished garden

  1. Initial Site Meeting

    This first step is for me to meet you, look at your garden and discuss with you what you want from your garden.

  2. On site Consultancy

    Here I can suggest ideas, provide on site sketches, discuss garden planning, plants and materials.

  3. Concept Plan/Visuals

    Prior to embarking on a full design, concept plans can ensure the general components of the design are agreed before a full design is produced.

  4. Full Design

    A full design plan is produced to provide you or your selected contractor with enough detailed information to be able to construct the garden.
