The design process starts with a consultation, for which there is a small charge.

​

At this initial meeting I establish a brief for the design: the style of garden, features to be retained and those to be discarded, choice of landscape materials, time and experience available to maintain the garden,
plant preferences, colour schemes and so on.

Also, having seen the garden and what the design may, or may not entail, I will have a clearer idea of the costs involved and can advise accordingly.

Following the consultation, the brief is put in writing and a fixed fee is quoted for the design and planting plans. If the client is agreeable, a survey of the site is then carried out and work on the design can begin.
