Full Garden Design

The A-Z of garden design!

A is for Analysis

A thorough site analysis will involve discussions about likely use and function of the garden, your likes and dislikes, restrictions due to soil type, orientation of the garden and climate and preparation of a wish list of plants and features to be included.
To develop a design brief for the overall concept, style and theme of the garden a full set of photos and measurements of the garden will be taken. Based on these a thorough design brief and site analysis will be provided before proceeding to the next stage.
Once the design brief and site analysis have been agreed we will prepare a set of presentation drawings incorporating the outline design of the plan.

P is for Plans

The design will include a scale sketch plan, perspective drawings and virtual images of your garden that look like photographs and a colour mood-board with a range of images of features, finishes and planting.
The plans and drawings allow you to make changes, adding and removing features, plants and changing structure until you are totally satisfied with the final design.
The next stage is to prepare detailed construction drawings and specifications including setting out plans, technical drawings and specifications for materials on which the landscape contractor can base his quotations. We can carry out the work for an agreed price or you may wish for this stage to be tendered (see Project Management).

Z is for Zinnias

You don’t have to have zinnias in your garden, but you will get a detailed planting plan showing placement of plant varieties numbers and spacing and a planting schedule.
