Your project is exciting, we are here to help and support you every step of the way. We provide personally tailored process to suit the scale and nature of your project. The following process is intended as a guide in the creation of your garden.
\n\n\n\n
We begin by getting to know you and your garden by our Landscape Architect visiting you to see your garden and meet you. This consultation helps us to best understand the potential of your space and its current problems. Following our visit we put together your design brief and send you the details for the Garden Concept Package.
\n\n\n\n
Our Landscape Architect meets you onsite to discuss your project to develop your brief further, inspiration images are shared. A garden concept plan is then produced this may include elevations, perspective drawings, furniture suggestions, lighting placement, plant and material palette. This package provides you with clear visual images of your new garden.
\n\n\n\n
After you receive your concept plan package you can either continue to construction documentation or handover our drawings to one of our recommended landscapers or a landscaper of your choice.
\n\n\n\n
Preparation of detailed drawings for construction of your project providing further clarity.
\n\n\n\n
After the design is completed it is handed over to you, you can choose to use one of our recommended landscapers or a landscaper of your choice to build your garden. We have great relationships with our recommended landscapers, they are selected carefully to ensure they share our values.
\n\n\n\n
During construction of your project you may request our Landscape Architect to carry out a construction administration role by visiting your project at various intervals. For example you may wish them to visit during planting of plants to ensure the desired planting design outcome is achieved.
