We cover all aspects of the design and management of private and public gardens in the studio.
We offer a consultation service but we specialise in the full design and build remit, collaborating with contractors and specialists who deliver on time and within budget.
This initial consultation is an opportunity to go through your brief and share ideas. After this meeting we’ll write to you presenting your options on how best to proceed.
Once a site and soil survey has been carried out a concept design is initiated. This might include a site analysis, sketches, layout plans, 3D illustrations, examples of similar work and estimated costs of all the various options.
Once you are happy with the design we move on to putting together master drawings, specifications, sourcing samples, structural drawings, lighting and planting plans from which the project can be accurately costed and built. If Planning Applications and Tender documents are necessary these are carried out.
We would monitor the build on the client’s behalf from the beginning to the end, until all parties are completely satisfied. We also lead on all planting ourselves.
Gardens should be designed to continually evolve and improve with age. An aftercare agreement might be a twice-yearly visit to review the garden.
If you would like a maintenance service we can recommend various landscape maintenance contractors and advise them on your behalf. We suggest that a certain budget be allocated each year for the replacement of plants, buying new bulbs etc.
We follow the Society of Garden Designers and Landscape Institute fees guidelines.
