design COSTs

---

During the first visit we'll take a look at your garden, discuss your requirements and style preferences, consider some intial design concepts, talk about your budget and run through some basic construction costs. 

 Surveys start at £240. They usually take 3-4 hours to measure, assess and draw up. A third party surveyor may be needed for very large or complicated gardens. 

 Detailed Designs start at £550. Once I have visited your garden I will provide you with a fixed price for the design. 

Depending on the complexity of the design, there may be additional construction drawings, a setting out drawing, electrical plan and lighting layout. 

 This is charged at a percentage of the overall project cost. However, some clients are happy to project manage the build themselves and just want me to assist with the tender process. In this instance, tender documents are approximately £250.

Alternatively, I also offer the option of ad-hoc site visits once the build has begun, the cost of which is variable, depending on the project. 

These start at £350. Whereas the 'detailed design' mentioned above provides information on broad planting concepts (eg. shade tolerant planting, lavender border etc) and key planting such as trees and focal point shrubs, a planting plan shows the exact placement of every plant in the garden and collates a list of the quantity and size of each plant. 

 If you're just after some ideas, rather than a detailed layout design or planting plan, then I offer garden consultations at £180 for up to 2 hours in your garden.  packed full of ideas and suggestions.   This is a really good option to get you started with confidence. 

For £350 you can have a consultation and a follow up written report entailing ideas, inspiring pictures, recommended plants, suggested materials, suppliers  and lots more.
