Key elements of the process we use to create your garden are shown below

Meet the designer

• Meet with you and present garden design portfolio
• Understand your dreams and your budget
• Explain our different options - for example, you may want one or simply a new planting scheme
• Explain how we will work with you and what you can expect of us - for example, our terms and conditions of service

Client brief

• Take your ideas and specific requirements and prepare a written brief to check we have understood your needs and give you an opportunity to add further thoughts
• Source magazine articles and other visuals of people and work that inspire you
• Check these with you as we develop the design for your garden

Site survey and analysis

• Preparation of a scaled 'baseplan' of your outdoor space - a full survey is undertaken prior to design work
• Photographic record of site
• Examine the detailed characteristics of your garden
• Understand your garden in more depth by looking at different views, identifying eyesores, soil type(s) and particular aspects

Masterplan

• Share with you an outline design that meets the agreed brief
• Amend to ensure the garden is how you want it
• Print design and prepare accompanying drawings, as required

Planting design

• Discuss different planting styles to get the effects you want
• Prepare planting design plan options
• Discuss with you further options available to support your planting design - for example:
• - prepare planting specification and schedule
• - source plants and implement planting plan

Project management

• Manage the implementation of design and planting scheme from concept to completion

Aftercare

• Provide you with a 'Your Garden Guide' that covers the detail of how to nurture your garden.
• Maintenance of your new garden.
