The inital step is to spend time with the client to discuss what they would like. From this we develop a written brief and provide a full breakdown and explanation of how the process will work and what the costs will be.

The existing level changes, buildings, trees, utilities and services all need to be recorded by a professional surveyor as this forms the basis of the design. The fees do not include the cost of this survey but we are happy to arrange this service on your behalf.

We make a presentation of the proposed scheme.  This is an extensive document with hand drawn sketches, 3d visuals, precedent photos, plans and everything needed to convey exactly how the finished project will look. This initial design is a discussion document which allows the design to change and evolve.

We produce a detailed masterplan which captures any changes and revisions which may have come out of the last stage.  This package allows the scheme to be accurately costed and built correctly.

Each scheme will go out to two or three reputable landscape contractors with whom I have worked previously. Following a site visit they provide an itemised quotation.
