PREVIOUS PROJECTS








THE GARDEN DESIGN PROCESS
STEP ONE
KATE WILL INITIALLY view a project free of charge, within a 10-mile radius of the office base, outside that range, there is just a fee for fuel. This is a free viewing for approx half an hour.
HERE THE CLIENT CAN discuss their needs and desires for a garden. If a design is required, the space will be surveyed by her team, (for more complicated schemes a surveyor will be brought in).
STEP TWO
INITIAL PLAN is produced showing proposed areas of hard and soft Landscaping. Once the client has viewed and approved or made adjustments a CONCEPT PLAN is made in 2D, detailing the hard landscaping and areas of planting.
Then a CONSTRUCTION NOTE PLAN is produced from which the landscaper can give a separate quote.
STEP THREE
THE PLANTING PLAN is a separate plan showing existing plants as well as new plants to go in the garden. The number required of each plant, sizes and prices etc, This plan also includes a maintenance sheet.
If all the above is agreed with the client, dates would be arranged for the landscaping and then planting.
All site visits are charged a fee and planting can be arranged by Kate and her team.
A fee agreed with the client is payable at each stage of the design process.
