Initial visit and consultancy
	After contacting me I will arrange an initial visit to meet with you to discuss your garden. During this visit information will be gathered about your likes and dislikes and what you wish to enhance within your garden. Following this meeting you will receive a letter outlining the brief and the design fees.
	Site survey
	A detailed survey of the garden will be needed to ensure an accurate design. This will be carried out by myself or if it is a larger more difficult site, a land surveyor will be used. The survey will show levels, the position of buildings and other structures, existing planting, trees and any other features.
	Sketch plan
	On completion of the survey a scale drawing is prepared, this forms the sketch plan which illustrates the initial design ideas. The purpose of this design is to act as a point of discussion so that any changes can be made easily before the final design is prepared.
	Layout plan
	This is the final design showing all areas of hard and soft landscaping. It is the plan a contractor will use to cost and build the garden. Construction drawings of the garden features can be supplied if required.
	Planting plan
	The planting plan shows the location and spacing of the recommended plants. An accompanying schedule is provided listing the quantities and the names of the plants. This list will be used when costing and ordering the plants.
	Project supervision
	To ensure that the garden is built in sympathy with the design, I also offer a project supervision service.
