Garden Consultation

Sometimes we have lots of ideas buzzing round our heads but aren’t too sure how to pull them all together or which ones would work and which ones should be discarded. Or there could be an area in the garden where nothing seems to grow or there is an slightly view to hide (nobody wants to see the bins when sitting outside on a summer’s evening or stare at the industrial building over the fence), in which case a garden consultation maybe more what you’re after.

Garden visit

The initial steps for a garden consultation are very similar to the full design process, where I will visit your garden and we will talk through all your ideas or issues.

Site Analysis

Following on from the initial visit I will come and survey the garden, even if it is only one area that is being enhanced it will still help to have an overall view of the garden and how this new border or re-design of one area will fit into the space as a whole.

Documentation and discussion

You will then receive an outline sketch or written document marked up with ideas of what could be done with the space, from types of paving, plants that would work well to furniture and lighting ideas for your garden to be able to start implementing the changes to make the most of your outside space. There will be a chance to talk through the ideas in the document.

Next steps

The garden consultation is seen as providing a few ideas to get started. Either it can be taken as a standalone process for you to start making the most of your outside space. Or it can be converted into the full garden design process. After the garden consultation if you decide for example, that you’d like assistance with contractors to install new paving or lighting then the technical drawings can be provided and the work put out to tender.
