I offer a range of flexible services but, typically, there are five different packages:
Package 1 - Concept plan
1. Initial consultation
This starts with an initial consultation which costs £50 but may be waived depending on how close to Boston Spa you are. Consultations within Boston Spa are now free. I come and visit you and we spend time exploring how you will use your garden and chat through lots of questions designed to enable us to come to an understanding of what you would like. I will share with you my initial observations of your space and we discuss how we can work to improve your space. The £50 is offset against plan fees if you go ahead with the concept plan.
Free consultations can always be done by zoom or a phone call.
2. Measure
I measure your garden and take level measurements to enable me to see the different levels in your garden. If your garden is large or complex a digital survey can be requested.
3. Concept plan
I come up with a design for your garden and check this works through 3D modelling. I also produce a mood board.
4. Meeting
The exciting bit! We then meet to discuss the design, view the 3D model (if appropriate) and discuss any changes you may wish to make. If need be, further drafts are produced before the plan is finalised. You receive a 2D birds' eye view of the design which is to scale and some 3D images if requested. You also receive a mood board.
At this point you can discuss this plan with a landscaper for them to provide more details of particular materials or you can progress to the next stage.
Package 2 - Detailed plan
After stages 1-4 above you can, if you wish, request a detailed plan from me which sets out precise materials which we will select together. Materials should not be guessed at as they make or break a design so we take time to fully consider the options before the plan is produced.
I can then liaise with experienced landscapers to bring the plan to fruition.
Package 3 - Planting plan
I can also provide a planting plan showing the names and position of plants as part of option 1 or as a standalone option. Typically charges are less than for a concept plan.
I can also obtain the plants and I can plant the plants too if you wish. You can request a maintenance schedule for your planting.
Package 4 - Design consultancy - 'Design in a Day' - fixed fee
Perhaps you already have an idea for your garden and want to run this by a professional who can help you to fine tune it? Or perhaps you intend to create your garden yourself? If so, you may just need some design input but not a full plan. This is a very bespoke package which depends on what you need but, typically, I can some and spend 3 hours with you in your garden and we can brainstorm and work up some ideas. Afterwards, I provide you with some sketches and a mood board with ideas (but note that no scaled plan is produced as part of this option).
Package 5 - Gift packages
If you want me to put together a more bespoke garden design package just get in touch.
I can also provide other services as follows:
Training
Do you need a little help understanding how to prune and care for your plants? I can provide guidance and training.
Garden talks
I love giving garden talks on any topic to groups - let me know if you have a burning need to know something and I can put something together for you. I have, for example, been giving talks on small garden design for many years now, in gardening groups in Wetherby, Knaresborough, Linton, Burley-in-Wharfedale, Chapel Allerton and Richmond to name a few.
- feel overwhelmed by a larger established garden - busy professionals want a space which is great to look at but easier to maintain;
- love plants and want a garden to attract wildlife, especially birds, bees and butterflies;
- want to make their down sized garden feel more interesting and spacious whilst being lower maintenance;
- want to know how their garden will work with a new extension;
- do not know where to start with a new build; and/or
- have some great ideas but are having difficulty seeing how a new garden/their ideas would look.
