INITIAL DESIGN MEETING
During the first meeting, I want to get to know you. I would like to know about your aspirations, lifestyle, and preferred aesthetics and find out what you expect from your garden and how you would like to feel in your perfect space. I would also like to find out how much time will you be able to commit to garden maintenance. At this stage, it would be great to know your budget, but we can also come up with figures later in the process. This meeting usually takes about one hour.
GARDEN TRANSFORMATION PLAN
Based on the design brief and initial meeting, I will prepare stunning and inspiring Transformation Plan that will show you what is possible to achieve the garden of your dreams.
DETAILED DESIGN
At the end of the process, I present you with the complete Design Pack, which contains detailed drawings, including working drawings necessary for the contractor to quote for the works, 3D model and visualisations of the finished garden, planting plans, lighting plan, and materials specifications. You can use it to obtain quotes from your chosen landscapers.
GROUND WORKS AND PLANTING
I aim to work closely with your chosen contractor, to ensure the final effect corresponds with the design. I regularly visit the site to ensure the works are carried out to a good standard and to answer any questions you might have.
