If you are interested in employing a garden designer how does it
work?
What happens
when you commission me?
When you
call me in to look at your garden this initial meeting is FREE of charge.
Once I have received a
written confirmation that you wish to commission me, I will return
to the garden and carry out a site survey and take the
measurements.
From these I can produce a base plan of the plot and start the
design process. This is usually a pencil sketch design which
the client can agree before a masterplan is produced.
It may be that you don't feel you need a full design and are just
looking for some advice about how to improve your garden. It is
possible to engage me on a CONSULTATION basis to come in a
look at your garden and advise you.
What should
you budget for a new garden?
A new garden is a considerable cost on an par with
installing a new kitchen or redesigning your house. The
garden should be considered as an investment and will add value
to your property. A well designed and maintained garden
makes a property more saleable.
It is reasonable to expect to pay
between 5%-10% the value of your property on a new
garden. (Obviously this is a guide amount and
will depend on the properties location and size of garden relative
to the house)
Therefore, it is a good idea to commission a
garden designer who will help you to realise the type of garden you
want and save you making costly mistakes. |
