Where do we start?

First I need to come and see you to discuss the project you have in mind. This free of charge within a twenty mile radius of my office. After our first meeting, I will write detailing my fees and terms of business.

Sometimes a full or half day consultancy ( for which a pre-agreed fee is payable) may be more suitable as a preliminary to a project or design and may be useful where a design is not necessarily needed.

Once you have asked me to proceed I will -

Carry out a survey and draw up a site plan if necessary provide an outline layout plan along the lines discussed at our initial consultation. Depending on the project I usually prepare a preliminary proposal for discussion before proceeding to the final plan.

Once the outline plan is agreed, I will contact landscape contractors to provide estimates as required.

Provide detailed working drawings ready for construction by the client or contractor.

Prepare detailed planting plans and plant lists.

Supply plants and supervise planting where necessary.

Unlike interior design, a garden never stops growing and one of the most satisfying aspects of the job is to provide after care and advice to the client for many years after the project is completed.
