SERVICES
Full Design Package: We will come and acquaint ourselves with you and the site, documenting it photographically and taking rudimentary measurements to enable a site analysis and design cost estimates.
There is a small charge for this visit, which will take several hours, offset against further design work should you choose to proceed.
On request we shall proceed to a detailed site survey, either ourselves, or commissioned locally. From this and the information on our site analysis we will produce a sketch plan. This is a discussion document, which may be edited to a final design solution.
Following approval, working construction drawings, written specification and planting plans can be draughted, and were applicable a tendering process may be initialized to appoint a suitable contractor for the construction. We will normally take on the project management from here, acting as liaison between you and the contractor, and signing off completed work for payment.
Planting service: This can be part of the full design package, or an individual service for an existing garden. It comprises a planting plan, based upon a client meeting and site analysis. We can either serve the documentation, including full plant listing and care instructions, or normally, go on to complete the bed preparation, supply and planting. We use only the highest quality plants from carefully selected nurseries with competitive prices. |

Project Management: Normally part of the full design package, we act as liaison between you and the successful contractor to ensure the specifics of the design are met, and to monitor the standard of work. This means regular site visits to inspect and sign off completed work, and monitor progress with respect to keeping within schedules and budgets. We would be permanently available to the client, or contractor in the unlikely event of confusion or need for modification.
Feasibility Study: On a new site, or an existing site, a client may wish to change the ground pattern of their land to maximize space and ergonomics. This may be re-sighting entrance/exits, driveways, garages, walls, lawns or any other landscape features. We would come and discuss your needs, complete a site analysis, and present a proposal document, detailing solutions, aided by 3D visuals and 2D plans. We would identify and planning, conservation or tree protection issues which may be encountered, and the relevant county officials who may need contacting. This is an excellent way to explore the merits and potential of further investment.
Arboricultural Method Statement: Surveying and categorising trees on a site is an invaluable service as trees can be heavily protected and can therefore pose a considerable obstacle to plans. To identify this potential and prepare options prior to finalising garden or building plans can save a lot of time and money. A site plan documenting all trees, their size, approximate age, health and life expectancy would be presented. Conservation areas and tree preservation orders (TPO) will be identified and/or suggested, along with a schedule of tree works and cost estimates. Trees can make or break a project and it is therefore paramount that you make the most of them.
