Stage 4 - Detailed Garden Layout Plan

Whereas the concept plan was a basic outline design of your new garden landscape, the detailed garden layout plan is, as the name suggests, a highly detailed plan which illustrates exactly how the new garden is to be laid out and built.

Every structural aspect of the design is included and drawn to scale (the detailed design plan will show key plants and structural planting, but not itemised plants - these come in the next stage), so the detailed garden layout plan is primarily a technical document. However, by talking you through this visual representation of your new garden I will be able to help you understand it with ease. This turns the technical layout plan into a springboard you can use to imagine every detail of the completed garden in advance.

Because the detailed garden layout plan is so exact and precise, it provides contractors and others with the relevant information they need to give you accurate and competitive quotes without any guesswork. I provide all of my clients with basic construction notes so that they can arrange for suitable contractors to carry out the work required. If requested I can also provide a list of recommended contractors that have proven to be reliable for my clients in the past. I can even supervise the actualisation of the layout plan should this be required. And of course, if you wish to carry out the work yourself this is also a possibility.

With the detailed garden layout plan completed, I can - if required - provide a computer generated 3D walkthrough of your new garden before it is actually built. This gives you the most immersive presentation possible of your new garden design.

When the layout plan is complete, we are now ready to proceed to the next stage and create a planting plan and schedule.
