Garden & Landscape Design

Guided by a site survey and analysis, we embark on the stage one design phase, to craft a new garden that aligns with your client brief. This process includes an initial concept design, followed by in-depth discussions and refinement of one or more concepts. The plan encompasses the garden's structure, landscaping materials, and planting themes, completing the vision for a thriving and beautiful landscape.

This design package includes two stages of the design process. The following products and services provided are listed below:

Stage 1:

  • Initial site visit - Discussion about the garden and your requirements along with a site analysis.

  • Site survey – Measurements of existing buildings, structures, hard and softscapes, and elevation changes will be recorded.

  • Formulation of the Client Brief.

  • Design concepts- A set of drawings exploring schematic layout, planting styles, flowering periods, formed from the client brief.

  • Materials document - A brief document confirming the final materials, structures and finishes for the garden.

  • Consultation meeting – Meeting in person or on Microsoft Teams to discuss design concepts, which will include materials, planting styles and costings etc.

  • Landscape masterplan – The original design concepts will then be developed as necessary and tightened up further. Two revisions of the final masterplan may be made before hourly design fees will be charged for additional revisions.

  • Planting plan -Plant layout that details a list of plants we intend to place into the design. This depicts information such as plant placement, size, and quantities.

  • Lighting plan – If required, a lighting design layout for your garden is created with recommended positions of the lighting and styles etc. Please note installation and any associated lighting diagrams/layouts are to undertaken by a qualified electrician.

    Stage 2:

  • Detailed Construction Drawings – Drawings are prepared by the design team and ready to be implemented. If any permitting or engineering is needed, it is done at this stage.

  • Project estimate - A final estimate and contract document setting in place the construction stage of the design and build service.
