Planting Plans
As well as offering this service to customers who have commissioned a Complete Garden Design, we also offer this service to customers who are happy with the layout of their garden, but would just like one or all of their flower beds redesigned.
The planting plan design process is made up of several key stages:
The Initial Consultation
As part of the initial consultation, we will come and visit you at your home to talk about your planting requirements. We will also talk through the planting plan design process.
The Detailed Quotation
After the initial consultation, we will prepare a detailed letter for you outlining the planting plan design process, confirming details of our discussions during the initial consultation, specifying the basic concept for the design, outlining the terms of business, specifying the cost of the design and detailing each stage payment and when it will be required.
The Site Survey
Once you have agreed to go ahead with the design process, we will arrange to carry out a survey of your garden. As well as taking accurate measurements of the site, this will also include determining that state of any existing planting, determining the soil type and analysing visual elements such as views from the house, etc. The first stage payment is due at this stage of the process.
The planting plan (drawn to scale) will show the precise location of each plant, the quantity required of each plant together their full botanical name. Detailed notes will be provided with the planting plan, detailing a full description of each plant, maintenance requirements and the size of each plant at maturity. The last stage payment is due at this stage of the process.
