Garden Design
Garden design requires knowledge of many disciplines. It requires investigation and analysis of the site; its soil, topography, and hydrology, its local climate, the position and character of significant existing features, its light across the day and the seasons, and above all of course the wishes, and requirements of the owners.
The designer's job does not start or finish with production and delivery of a presentation plan; Project management of the construction phase to completion is a legal requirement of the design process, not an optional extra. Periodic visits after effective completion will help to ensure that the project develops correctly. This may be included via optional maintenance contracts, or simple visits by the designer to assess progress and pre-empt or correct any issues identified.
I work as a dedicated designer, an agent of the client, working to a brief to produce plans and constructional drawings. Once approved by the client I tender from a pool of tried and trusted landscapers and other trades, and oversee all tendering, permissions, construction, and planting through to completion, and if required beyond. This means that the client has at all times on their side a professional who works for their interests and remains independent of the contractors.
There are other working models to suit different situations, please enquire.
I can also design planting plans, staged development plans, and can advise on specific elements of garden enhancement.
If you have a design requirement please contact me on 07770-915615 or here to discuss which options are most suitable for you.
