The concept design is the master plan for your landscape or garden, and clearly illustrates the proposed hard and soft landscape design. Our design process is laid out as follows.
- An initial consultation is arranged with you. This involves meeting you on site and discussing the plans for your property and how you would like to use the garden.
- A written project brief is then developed as well as a fee proposal for the concept design stage, which is sent to you for approval.
Results in the concept design which consists of the master plan, material palette and planting plan.
Assuming acceptance of the brief, the concept design work begins, and generally consists of:
- A detailed site appraisal of the property which involves investigating all the existing vegetation, ground levels, fencing and features. It is in addition to any existing topographical or architectural drawings.
- The development of the landscape design then begins which consists of hand sketches, CAD layout plans, 3D renderings and design references where appropriate.
- A detailed planting plan is designed with includes a full plant schedule specifying species, size, quantities and locations. Photographic plant references are also included.
- The design presentation is then assembled and results in an A3 booklet which is presented and talked through in person.
- Following the presentation any changes to the design are made with a final set of plans prepared.
