Landscape Design
To complement our Architectural design, we are able to offer a Landscape Design service covering all aspects of your external environment. Having designed your home, we are uniquely positioned to extend the same thought process into the surrounding garden areas to create seamless spaces for you to enjoy. We are able to provide the following services:
Design Stage
Analyse your garden, carrying out a detailed survey include levels, materials, existing planting, soil type, boundaries, context, drains, existing structures etc. We will then use the information from our initial meeting to prepare and agree your brief which will form the basis for our design work.
We will then prepare sketch design schemes based on the brief. These may initially take the form of sketches, photographs, images and meetings with you. The initial drawings and sketch drawings would be followed up with detailed presentation drawings showing full design intentions, materials, levels and suggested planting schemes.
Tender Stage
You may wish to create your garden yourself and in your own time, using our design presentation drawings as a guide. If you require further dimensioned drawings to assist with this, together with detailed planting schedules and information on local suppliers, we can prepare these for you.
Alternatively, you may wish to appoint a local Contractor to construct your garden for you. Usually, Tenders would be invited from up to 3 Contractors, agreed with yourselves.
We prepare specifications, schedules and drawings for Tender to allow Contractors to prepare fair and comparable quotations on the same basis as one another in a similar way to the works to your house.
You may already know of someone you would like to carry out the works, in which case we can provide them with all the technical information they need to give you an accurate price for the construction work.
Site Supervision
You may wish us to liaise with your chosen contractor to help initiate the works, to visit site on a regular basis during construction, and to maintain communications with your contractor until your works are finished. This would include an element of cost control, ensuring that the works remain within budget, and that any unforeseen issues are dealt with in a manner which does not compromise the design.
