Of course every client and every garden is different and whilst some
may want a total redesign and rebuild, others may simply want some
assistance with planting up a new border. I would be equally happy to
help with either.
New Planting Service
Areas replanted with a lovely new planting scheme from £45 per sq. metre.
Client Consultation
This is a visit to see and discuss your garden. It is a very important
part of the process where I can get a feeling for how you will be using
the garden and exactly what you are hoping for. I can offer advice and
suggestions and give an indication of what design work will be
necessary.
Site Analysis and Measurement
Once you have decided to proceed with the garden design service, I will
carry out a full site analysis. I will be noting the aspect, soil type,
measurements, position of features and plants to be retained, slope,
problems and so on.
Garden Layout Plan
I will produce scale plan of the proposed garden layout in the form of
a hand drawn, coloured drawing which will include detailed drawings of
any complex elements. This will be presented to you in person so that
you have an opportunity to discuss it and understand it fully. For an
example of a garden layout plan click here
When this has been approved, I will produce a setting out plan with
dimensions clearly marked to be used during the construction.
Making it Happen
I can take on any aspect of this from putting you in contact with
reputable landscapers, builders or specialists, to obtaining quotes on
your behalf and monitoring the project. Some clients like to arrange
work with their own chosen contractors or carry out the work
themselves.
The advantage of having your designer on board all the way through are
considerable. I can ensure that the contractors understand exactly what
is required, advise you about the correct time and amount to pay, and
help you to ensure that all the people needed are involved at the
correct time.
Planting Plan
Should you wish, a detailed planting plan can be drawn up to show which
trees, shrubs and plants would work with the new garden layout and the
physical conditions in your garden. For an example of a planting plan click here
Sourcing and Planting the Plants
If you don't fancy buying and planting the plants yourself, I would be
happy to arrange to do this for you. This includes preparing the soil
to ensure that plants have the best possible start in their new home.
Maintenance
I can provide an information pack, explaining exactly how the garden
should be cared for to keep it looking its best. For those people who
don't have time to look after the garden themselves, I can arrange a
maintenance contract on your behalf.
Postal Service
If you live far from Leeds, I can still do designs for your garden by
post. I would be happy to provide this service for gardens anywhere in
the world!
You provide details of the garden using a questionnaire and plan, and I provide the designs!
Promote Your Business or Your Products
I often work with businesses, charities, landscape companies,
manufacturers and artists to help promote them to the public via my
show gardens. If you would be interested in working with me then
please get in touch.
