The second stage would be for your designer to visit to carry out your design brief questionnaire. This is to ensure we understand your vision and needs in order to create your perfect garden. 

Your designer will also survey your garden which will include confirming dimensions, taking soil samples, cataloguing of all existing plants and trees, and carrying out an aspect test. Finally we will take video and images.

Following this meeting your designer will compile your “Design Brief” and send to you to ensure they have understood and included all the key components that will be included in your design portfolio and to ensure we design your perfect garden.

Testimonials

Our designer listened to what we were looking for and the final result has genuinely changed the way we use our space. The garden is something that we will enjoy for many years to come

The designer, carefully considered our requirements and came up with a unique design to make the garden a space for us adults to relax and for the kids to enjoy year round.

Our designer, did a fantastic job of helping us refine what we wanted in our new garden, sharing their experience and knowledge along the way.

The design and consultation was fantastic, the hand drawn designs and 3D examples really brought the project to life. It's a delight to sit outside and soak up the new garden, our patio looks much better now also! Would highly recommend the team.

Sarah, carefully considered our requirements and came up with a unique design to make the garden a space for us adults to relax and for the kids to enjoy year round.

The design was excellent, everything we had hoped for, with extended patio, pergola leading to a seating area, water feature and an excellent selection of flowering trees, shrubs and other plants. The raised flower beds added an extra dimension to the garden.
