GARDEN DESIGN SERVICES
CONCEPT GARDEN DESIGN
CONCEPT DESIGN
A concept garden design provides a clear creative vision for your outdoor space, bringing together layout, materials, planting areas and features into a cohesive design. It's an ideal option if you want to explore the potential of your garden, visualise how it could look and have a considered plan to guide the next stage of your project.
The process begins with a consultation to establish a design brief, exploring your aspirations, practical requirements, wish-list and how you'd like to use your garden. This helps shape a design that reflects your lifestyle, personal preferences and the character of the space.
From there, we'll develop a tailored concept, supported by mood boards, material suggestions and planting ideas to establish the overall look and feel of the garden. This is an opportunity for collaboration and refinement, allowing you to provide feedback before the design is finalised.
You'll receive a scaled layout drawing illustrating the proposed structure of your garden, identifying key elements such as hard landscaping, planting areas and features. Depending on the project, the design may also include alternative layout options and perspective views to help you visualise the possibilities.
The finished concept provides a strong creative foundation for your project, giving you clarity and direction before any work begins. It can be used to guide the next stages of your garden transformation, whether you choose to manage these yourself or seek further design and implementation support.
Price: from £1,995
NB: A concept plan does not include the following: planting plans, specification plans, plant supply, project management. If you require these services we recommend a "Full Garden Design" or talk to us about inclusion of certain elements
CONCEPT DESIGN PROCESS
SITE VISIT, CONSULTATION & SURVEYING
The initial consultation meeting, preceded by a design questionnaire, is the time to discuss exciting ideas which will form the basis of the design brief and to discuss your budget. It is used to look at the possibilities and limitations of the site, considering the views, aspect, levels, soil structure and access. Following the meeting a garden brief will be drawn up based on our discussions along with a quote for any further design services desired and required.
Following this a site survey is needed to produce a scaled plan of your garden. If the site is complex a chartered surveyor may be required.
CONCEPT DESIGN & LAYOUT
The concept design are scaled drawings of the proposed layout for your garden, showing areas of hard landscaping, planting and features. This includes initial plans, mood boards, planting and material suggestions.
This is the first stage of the design where we propose to you several options of the new garden structure. The views and the perspective are offered to show a vision of what the garden will look like.
AFTERCARE
Gardens require a level of maintenance to ensure they evolve and improve with age. We offer an aftercare programme following the build of your garden ensuring your garden flourishes - the frequency of which is determined by your needs and those of the garden.
