Services
I have three main packages which are tailored to you, your budget and what you would like to achieve. These can be taken separately or combined to deliver your perfect garden.
I offer a free initial consultation (within a 30 minute distance of Great Missenden) to discuss your requirements, in which we have the opportunity to get to know each other and I can have a look at your garden.
Please use the Contact page to get in touch! I would love to work with you to make your outdoor space a welcoming and relaxing environment.
Garden Design
If your outside space is simply not working for you or your family then this is the package for you. After discussing what you would like to achieve with your garden, your budget and your style preferences, I will produce a fee proposal. This includes a brief for the project and the cost of the various stages involved. Fees for Planting Design can also be included at this stage.
The design process includes:
A site survey to measure your garden and analyse the soil, aspect and any specific conditions. For large or complex gardens I usually recommend a professional surveyor.
Initial Concept Plans for discussion, including visualisations and suggestions for hard landscaping materials such as paving
Presentation Plan including Setting Out plans, Construction Drawings and Specifications for your landscaper as required
Planting Plans, including maintenance schedules if required
I can also suggest landscapers for your garden build and oversee this process if you require.
Design fees for this package start at around £500 for Concept Plans and are dependent on the size, complexity and detail required for your new garden.
Planting Design
This package is for those commissioning a whole garden design as well as those whose borders just need refreshing. As well as providing a tailored list of plants for you, I will design your borders, creating a Planting Plan which details plant position and numbers required. Planting Design provides good winter bone structure in your garden as well as easy-care perennials and bulbs to give you colour and scent throughout the growing seasons and can account for existing cherished trees and shrubs.
I can also order plants from my trade nurseries at a discounted price and for smaller gardens, come and plant up your borders.
For all my Planting Plans, I can prepare a maintenance schedule detailing exactly how best to look after your new plants. If I have set out or planted the garden for you, I will also come and see how everything is coming along after about three months.
Fees are dependent on the size and number of borders but if commissioned as part of a whole garden design, start at £600.
Planting Design for individual borders starts at £250.
Expert Advice
This package is for those who are happy with the general layout of their gardens, but need some advice on plants. It’s perfect for people who aren’t sure where to start, might have just taken on a new garden or have a very mature garden which has just got a bit out of hand.
I provide general consultation services with written feedback and guidance notes as well as advice for how the planting might be managed or evolve .
I can also produce a list of plants that will work well in your borders and which will thrive in your soil conditions, levels of sun and shade and with your preferences for colour and shape in mind.
Fees start at £200.
