How It Works
Knowing what to expect can make starting a project feel much easier. The outline below explains each stage of the journey, from your initial enquiry through to your completed garden design.
Every garden begins with understanding your home, your priorities and the way you'd like to live outdoors. Here's what you can expect as we work together.
Questions
Every project is different, and if you have questions about the process I'm always happy to discuss them.
-
Complete a simple enquiry form and tell me a little about your project.
I'll review your enquiry and arrange a time for a discovery conversation. -
We'll discuss your property, your ideas and how you'd like your garden to function.
Following our conversation, I'll recommend the service that best suits your project and prepare a personalised proposal. -
You'll receive a proposal outlining:
• the recommended service
• what's included
• the design fee
• the expected timeframe
• what happens nextEverything is clearly explained before you decide whether to proceed.
-
If you'd like to proceed, simply complete the online payment.
Payment confirms your proposal and reserves your project within my workflow.
You'll then receive information to help you prepare for our on-site meeting. -
We'll meet at your property to gain a thorough understanding of your site and your goals.
During our visit we'll discuss:
• how you'd like to use the space
• your priorities and preferences
• your budget, or whether you'd prefer to develop a longer-term vision
• any inspiration you've collected
• any existing plans, surveys or site information you have available
I'll also take measurements, photographs and make observations that will inform the design process.
This meeting is focused on understanding your project rather than developing design solutions on site. -
With a clear understanding of your site, priorities and goals, I'll begin developing your garden design.
During this stage I'll be focused on exploring the best design solution, so there is generally no further action required from you.
Once your garden design is complete, we'll arrange a time to walk through it together and discuss the next steps. -
Depending on your project, I can assist with plant supply, planting or provide the information needed for you or your chosen landscaper to implement the design with confidence.
If this approach feels like the right fit for your project, I'd love to hear about your plans.
