Design & Planning

This is the exciting part. Having visited gardens, thought about your ideas, and decided what you would like to include in your garden at the pre-design stage, it is time to put together a design for your own plot.

This section of our site looks at the various elements of garden design and provides help and advice on planning your garden to ensure a successful result.

Your final garden design should bring together all the elements you wish to include in a harmonious and practical manner and, once the work is complete, leave you to enjoy the results of a well considered scheme that makes the most of the site available.

Whatever your own personal tastes and requirements are, you should end up with a garden that you can relax in and feel proud of.

The first objective is usually to prepare a plan of the proposal as this will help define to you and to others how the whole area will fit together. You may be considering getting quotations for carrying out some or all of the work and a plan will be essential in helping to achieve this.
