FAQs
Is a professionally designed garden really worth the investment?
Yes. When the project involves significant layout, hard landscaping, planting, or structural decisions, good design usually saves far more than it costs.
It helps prevent expensive mistakes, makes contractor quotes easier to compare, and ensures the finished garden feels coherent rather than pieced together. A well-designed garden is not just about appearance; it is about getting the important decisions right before the build begins.
How are design fees structured?
Design fees are quoted up front and tailored to the individual garden and the scope of work involved.
No two projects are quite the same, and factors such as size, slope, levels, access, existing conditions, planting requirements, and the complexity of the design all influence the work required. Fees are not calculated as a percentage of the build cost.
If we begin with a paid Garden Consultancy and you later proceed to a full design package, that fee is deductible from the design work.
Will I be able to see the design before construction begins?
Yes.
You will see the design develop before anything is built. Depending on the project, this may include a scaled masterplan, planting plans, and 3D visuals to help you understand what the garden will look like in real life.
The aim is to make the design clear enough that important decisions are made with confidence before work starts on site.
Why work with an independent garden designer rather than a landscaper?
A garden designer brings together creative vision, technical understanding, horticultural expertise, and detailed planning to shape the garden as a whole before any build begins.
My role is to analyse the site, resolve the layout, levels, planting and materials, and produce a clear design package, so the garden feels coherent, elegant and fully resolved long before construction begins.
