Garden Design
Initial Home Visit
During an initial meeting, with you in your garden, I will discuss:
-
Ideas which you may have had already
-
What you would like to use your garden for in the future
-
Who will be using your garden
-
How much time you plan to spend maintaining your garden
-
Your budget
-
Whether you wish to retain any existing plants or features, if possible.
-
If you live far outside my geographical boundaries and are requiring a postal design, these questions will be on the questionnaire.
I will then do a site survey, measuring and photographing the existing garden and any features which will be retained. Soil type, aspect and surroundings will also be noted.
As I record, I start to form some ideas of how your requirements might be brought together into a practical and attractive garden, and I will discuss these primary thoughts with you at the time.
Back at my desk, I will draw up the garden and start to form a plan. Once I am happy that this concept plan fits your brief, you will be sent a copy so that you can see on paper what I am proposing. This concept plan will allow you to understand what the garden will look like; check that patios, lawns etc are a suitable size for your requirements, and see how these different areas fit together.
