WHAT TO EXPECT

We believe engaging a garden designer should be an enjoyable experience.
Our approach is collaborative and, once what you want to achieve is established, it's about making all the pieces fit together

coherently and with the desired aesthetic. 


THE DESIGN PROCESS

An initial consultation provides an opportunity for you to understand how we can work together, to get to know more about you and the people who are going to use the garden and what you want to achieve.

We'll discuss your preferences and requirements and, it also allows us to start to understand the garden space itself.

You will receive a written proposal based on the above information along with a fee schedule. 

Depending on what you are looking to achieve there are a number of options and approaches:


Garden Design

STAGE 1: INFORMATION GATHERING

 Site measurement and appraisal 

 Production of preliminary

ideas for discussion


STAGE 2: CONCEPT STAGE

 A concept plan is developed plus any visuals required to help bring

the concept to life. 

Here any further, required development of the design is identified. 


STAGE 3: MASTER PLAN

 The final design or Master Plan is a hand drawn and rendered, scale drawing of the design.  This stage includes any elevations, perspective or axonometric drawings considered necessary to help you visualise the design.


STAGE 4: TECHNICAL DRAWINGS

Once the Master Plan has been agreed,
setting out plans to show measurements and any necessary design specifics are produced. These allow a landscaper to provide an accurate quote for the work required and go on to implement your design.  Or, if you are looking to build the garden yourself, provide a

blueprint to work to.



Hannah does not provide construction monitoring however, she can make site visits during the landscaping to review progress and any changes required.

Guidance on engaging with landscapers can also be provided.

               


Planting Plans

If you are happy with the overall structure of your garden, revisiting the planting can invigorate or transform its look and feel. 


An initial consultation and survey of the required areas is undertaken and you will get a scale plan with plant names, numbers and positions within the garden for you to source and plant at your leisure or, Hannah can source and plant for you.


Plans are priced by area and preferred planting style. 


Distance Design

 

Hannah can also provide practical advice to getting the most out of your outdoor space, remotely.


Distance design is suitable for straightforward sites and requires photos, measurements and enthusiasm from you, the Client! 


She can provide a range of drawings that allow you to work towards your ideal garden at your own pace or, with the assistance of a professional landscaper.


Garden Consultations

This typically involves a site meeting of 1-2 hours to review and discuss your garden.

It could include on-the-spot suggestions for design, styling or planting or, ideas for future landscaping projects.

The visit is followed up with a summary of points discussed and includes

ideas for next steps.  What's covered is driven by what you need and it's a great way to gain a new perspective on your garden space.

               


Online Consultations


If it's impractical to visit your garden,

it may be possible to discuss your project using Zoom.


Photos or short video clips of your garden are a useful starting point and Hannah will follow up with suggestions and any visuals that will set you in the right direction to achieve your aims.
