Your concept design forms the initial phase of the design process, to help visualise your new space. This translates into detailed scaled plans, which ensure the garden works in shape, size and function. For any tweaks that may need to be made, we provide a free set of revisions, which means adjustments can be made on paper, not on the ground, saving time and money.
The detail within these plans enable us to provide meticulous and competitive, fixed-price quotes for your consideration. As well as creating a foundation to further develop the features within your garden, through our additional design services, such as; construction drawings, planting plans, lighting plans, irrigation plans and 3D renders.
Once your design is finalised, it becomes an accurate working document for our expert craftsmen to deliver a precise and timely installation and ensure your vision becomes a reality.
After your initial enquiry one of our designers will arrange an appointment with you to discuss requirements and elements you desire for your garden. We will also talk about a timeline and budget for your new space. From the initial meeting a brief will be drawn up summarising everything discussed, to ensure that any details have not been missed. We offer initial consultation free of charge.
Once the proposal has been approved, a designer will visit site to complete the survey. This involves measuring boundaries, plotting any major trees or shrubs that are existing or protected (TPO). If needed a topographical survey would also be taken using survey equipment.
A concept design is the first stage of a full design process. A drawing is created, in a coloured plan format, showing hard and soft landscaping features. Detail into the paving options, locations of specimen trees, recommended building structures such as pergolas, and planting styles are also addressed.
This is where we breakdown the initial concept design to include more detail if needed or desired. Such additions may include sections and elevations showing detail of level changes, step & wall and garden structures. In Addition we can also include lighting, planting and irrigation plans.
For those clients who want to see their new garden come alive, we provide a 3D design service. This will give you a physical representation of your new garden, including foliage, buildings, levels and lighting effects.
The Design Comes Alive.
Lighting & Power
A detailed plan will show location of every light, the cable and conduit required, any junction boxes, where we suggest power be taken from and any additional items such as water features, electric gates, security lighting, etc. All of these will be installed by our trusted electricians.
Planting Schedules
A detailed plan will show each individual plant location. Each plant will have its own symbol and a key will help it be allocated to a bed or area. A mood board will be provided as a reference to the suggested planting.
Irrigation Systems
A detailed plan will show the location of pop up sprinklers, drip lines, soaker hoses, taps, underground rain water storage, etc and all the pipework connecting it together.
Photo Realistic Design
A physical representation of the garden, including foliage, buildings, levels and lighting effects. These will be presented to you as a 3D walkthrough or a selection of still images.
