DESIGN PROCESS

An important factor when designing is the communication and rapport between client and designer. Also, the gathering of information, down to the smallest detail and a great deal of observational skills are essential to a successful design process.

1) We would start with a questionnaire in order to understand what the specific goals of the garden design will be. Visit our Online Questionnaire.

2) A base plan and site analysis are then initiated

SITE ANALYSIS AND CONDITIONS:

We determine these potential challenges:
• windy, wet areas,
• sloping grounds, noise pollution,
• poor drainage, proper grading,
• soil erosion , privacy,
• condition of existing plants and trees, soil condition,
• lighting, safety,
• practicality, accessibility,
• sun and shade, visual sore points
• material of existing features, like house or pathways
This is followed by a thorough measurement of your property.
