ONCE-OFF CONSULTANCY
Our once-off garden and landscape design consultancy is ideal for clients seeking expert guidance on specific areas of their garden, without committing to a full design package. This service provides practical, tailored advice from a Chartered Landscape Architect, helping you enhance your outdoor space with confidence
What to Expect
1. Initial Enquiry & Brief Outline
Provide a short overview of your garden and the areas where you would like guidance. We then arrange a convenient time for the on-site consultation, ensuring the session is focused on your needs.
2. Pre-Visit Review & Booking Confirmation
Before the consultation, we review any photographs, sketches, surveys, or notes you provide. This ensures the session is tailored to your objectives. A base consultation fee is issued at this stage, with payment confirming and securing your appointment.
3. On-Site Consultation
During the visit, we walk through the garden together to assess its opportunities, challenges, and potential. You will receive practical, considered advice on:
garden layout and circulation
planting schemes and seasonal interest
material choices and hard landscape solutions
problem-solving specific design issues
The session is collaborative, solution-focused, and designed to leave you with clear, actionable recommendations.
4. Tailored Recommendations & Follow-Up
After the consultation, you receive a detailed, personalised report summarising our discussion.
The report includes:
suggestions for minor design enhancements
planting recommendations (trees, shrubs, perennials, bulbs, annuals)
guidance on hard landscape features
tips for maintaining year-round garden interest
If required, we can provide a quotation for additional plants, containers, feature pots, or other garden elements. We are also happy to collaborate with your preferred gardening contractor or team to implement the plan.
5. Optional Ongoing Support
We offer ongoing guidance and support on a seasonal, quarterly, bi-annual, or annual basis, helping your garden thrive and evolve beautifully over time.
