Our Design Process

If you are inspired by our work and considering contacting us to discuss your garden project, the below ‘time line’ may be helpful in illustrating our process. No two projects are the same and each requires a tailored input. The following acts as a guide to the process from initial meeting to completed garden.

01.

The Brief

From an initial site visit and discussion with clients, we develop a ‘Client Brief’ that will inform our initial design exploration. Our designs derive from a well thought out brief, which forms a written document and acts as a cornerstone to any design work. This is the fruit of client / designer discussions and our own site analysis.

02.

The Survey

A topographical survey is commissioned from
surveyors for most projects.

03.

Design Proposal

From rough sketches to CAD plans, this phase is a process of discussion between client and Jonathan and our team to confirm and ensure client's vision is fully realised.
‍
Once signed off by clients, this forms the basis of all detail work.

04.

The Detail Proposal

Based on the garden design proposal, we prepare a Detail Construction Package for both hard & soft landscaping in order to provide relevant construction detail information, to enable budgeting, sourcing and procurement.

05.

Monitoring On Site

During the construction of the garden – to ensure what has been agreed by client and drawn by us, we schedule regular site meetings to monitor the build and advise contractors accordingly.

06.

Aftercare

This is as important to us as it is to each client - that the garden develops as intended. We conduct 3 site visits during the following 18 months post the construction of the garden. This allows us to review all aspects of hard landscaping and planting and address any matters arising. Our team also sources and refers ongoing garden maintenance if requested.
