THE STARTING POINT
Considered around
your home.
Good garden design begins before choosing individual plants or finishes. It starts with the views from the house, the routes people take and the places they want to spend time. LLD develops a clear brief around these decisions, balancing the character of the home with practical requirements and the level of care you want the garden to receive.
SHAPING THE SCOPE
What we can bring together.
Your priorities
How you use the garden, where you need privacy, what you want to keep and the budget you want to work within.
Layout and spatial planning
The relationship between terraces, planting, entrances and outdoor rooms, informed by the property's dimensions and conditions.
Materials and planting choices
Paving, planting, shade and lighting choices developed together. Confirm the drawings, samples and planting information included in the design service.
A route towards delivery
Key decisions, dependencies and specialist requirements identified before the project moves into final specification and installation.
BEFORE YOU COMMIT
The decisions that matter.
Start with the views
Look at the garden from the main rooms as well as from outside. A useful plan considers both everyday outlook and movement through the space.
Set the level of care
Be clear about who will maintain the planting and systems. The design should suit the attention you are willing to provide.
Agree the deliverables
Confirm which plans, visualisations, schedules, revisions and construction details are included before commissioning design work.
A clearly defined proposal.
Scope and specialist work
A garden concept is not a structural calculation, engineering approval or authority permit. Any technical drawings and specialist design required by the proposed works are identified and scoped separately with appropriately qualified professionals.
What shapes the quotation
Design fees depend on the plot, complexity, existing information and the agreed deliverables. Survey work, detailed technical documentation, extra revisions and specialist input should be clearly distinguished in the proposal.
