Occassionally, ideas for a transformation become immediately apparent and initial rough sketches can be made during the first visit before being enhanced and fine tuned back at the office. Alternatively, a longer design process may be required involving more detailed drawings and off-site work.

This initial meeting also gives us an opportunity to get to know each other and establish a method of working. Following the initial consultation, ideas and sketches will be presented regularly to ensure the design is developing to fit your requirements.

Plans can be produced for long term management and enhancement of gardens on large sites such as historic buildings, country estates, residential and care homes or housing complexes. All such work has been undertaken in the past and detailed examples are available.
