When designing a garden we work with you, turning your needs and personal taste into reality. If your not sure exactly what you want, we are here to help! Let us inspire you with our portfolio of previous works undertaken to create something original that is perfect for you. Even if you feel your budget is to small or what you would like done to overwhelming, contact us and you may well be very surprised at just what can be achieved! The Design Process A Design Brief is based on individual requirements, personal taste, budget allowance and timescale. When designing a garden there are many issues to take into account, the most important being, who is the design catering for, and what are the clients needs? Advisory Visit - General Assessment & Survey offers the chance to consider the practicalities of transforming ideas into reality and discuss some suggestions put forward. At this stage clients decide whether to go for a consultation. This involves the designer basically measuring out the plot of land and creating a rough sketch, also taking photographs of the house and garden, to aid in the design process. An appointment is then arranged with the clients for an approximate two hour consultation. Consultation is a two way process whereby clients and designer discuss in detail the following criteria. Style
Cottage Garden, Mediterranean Look, Contemporary, Japanese theme, Outdoor Rooms Design Structures
Property boundaries - walls, fences, pathways, terraces, pergolas, arbours etc. House The design and materials used must reflect the period of the property to a certain extent Access

Ground Plan & Work Shedule is usually the next stage of the process if clients want to go ahead with a Garden Makeover, some however are happy to work with sketches, proposals & recomendations with a much looser design brief and requirements.
