Planting plans

At a free initial visit* to your garden we will talk about your wish list, available budget for the project, and the subsequent stages of the design processes.

As a follow-up to this meeting, I will provide you with a fee proposal for the design stage only.

 

For the second garden visit, I will survey** the garden or its relevant part, carry out site appraisal***, and photograph the garden.

 

The second stage of the project is the production of a colour concept plan for the garden or its relevant part, with proposed planting areas in 2D plans. 

 

The final stage is the drafting of extremely detailed, fully dimensioned plans, which also specify all quantities. They will include the following;

- colour concept plan

- mood board

- plan with measurements (where necessary)

- working plan (where necessary)

- lighting plan (where necessary)

- planting plan

- plant schedule

- list of recommended materials

- bill of quantities.

 

The complete pack, in PDF format, is delivered electronically to you.

 

 

*Some travel expenses may apply, to be agreed before my visit to your garden.

**Garden survey is the detailed surveying/measuring and recording of a garden together with features and services to include: positions and condition of buildings and trees, site topography, positions of all features such as ponds, watercourses, hard landscaping, overhead and underground services, boundary constraints, access and potential hazards and risks relating to any of the features or services.

***Site appraisal. The collection of physical information about the site; soil depth and texture, pH and drainage, the contour (extent of slopes), aspect and exposure and microclimate (frost pockets, heavy shade, rain shadows, sun traps, wind tunnels); visual clues to areas with microclimates; visual assessment of external features (fine views, eyesores, the style of the house).
