Stage 1 - The Initial Garden Consultation.

The initial garden consultation stage of your professional garden design involves assessing the garden from a design perspective and consulting with you about any landscaping ideas and design suggestions that you might already have for your garden. This involves paying you an initial visit which enables me to consult with you and discuss the matter in person. Visiting the garden itself is also extremely important as it allows me to ensure that any design we eventually agree on is going to be practical and logistically feasible.

During this garden consultation I will discuss the various design options available to you based on my initial viewing of your garden. My gardens design ideas are infinitely flexible and can therefore be tweaked, adjusted and tailored to suit the land available and your own tastes and preferences. I design gardens of all types, so regardless of whether you want a simple minimalist design or a plan that is far larger and more complex, I will be able to accommodate you without difficulty.

When we have discussed and defined how you would ideally like your garden to be designed (including any particular plants that you want to incorporate) I can then calculate the likely costs involved and provide you with an estimate for the design services required. On smaller projects I am also happy to simply design, overhaul and replant, or even just provide an hourly or daily consultation rate, as you prefer.

As any architect will tell you, foundations are vital to the success of any project, and the same principle applies in the world of professional garden design. By the time we have completed the initial garden consultation , we will have laid vital creative foundations which will enable us to proceed confidently to the next stage...
