The process of garden design foundation
The process of creating a complete garden design includes several steps. It is important for me to meet and get to know you a little before starting the project.
Most likely, we have already met before during a garden consultation, which I recommend to start with. Consulting is a good start for me to figure out what you want, see if you like my ideas and visions. Seeing in person makes it easier for me to get an idea of the style, personalities, scale of the garden, etc. Of course, I make sure that you feel safe with me as a garden architect before we start a new project.
Now I want to meet you again, in a start-up meeting where we focus on your future garden dream!
The process - step by step
PHASE 1.
Start-up meeting

+ optional
PHASE 4.

PHASE 5.

-planting plan
-land planning plan
- section drawings
- construction drawings
-shopping lists
When the start-up meeting is booked, preparatory materials are sent to you. You will have to fill in a checklist that we will go through during the meeting.
During the meeting at your place, we gather around your site map and start sketching/marking things we talked about during the previous consultation. Features to be included, where you want privacy, a little location markings such as sun position, windy places in the garden, etc. You send the current site map before the meeting. This is a creative moment together so that we can get it right from the beginning!
I then measure important dimensions that do not appear on the plot map. Measurements that are included are things such as possible heights, vegetation, paving stones, walls, balconies, etc. that affect the new design.
If there are no drawings of the property or plot boundaries, I can of course measure in connection with our start-up meeting.
Costs are added for measuring property/plot boundaries. Current hourly rate.
You will receive a first draft by email I sketched out! You go through in peace and quiet at home. Here there is every opportunity for revision. If you want changes, a new proposal for parts, etc., this is where it happens. We book a call about review, feedback takes place within 1-2 weeks. When we are both satisfied and agree that the plan is right, I start PHASE 3!
We have arrived at the illustration plan and the associated appendices. Together with the floor plan, you will receive an inspiring Moodboard that describes the new concept in form, images and color. You will receive at least 10 characteristic plants that fit your garden. Optional options such as 3D views or lighting plans are delivered at the same time.
Delivery takes place at your place unless otherwise agreed. Together, we carefully go through your new garden design. I tell and show my thoughts and visions. If you wish to receive the project digitally, I will prepare a PDF format for you.
*Should any revision be desired here, an additional cost will be added for running hours**
Are you satisfied with your new garden design and want to take it to the next step for further help?
We produce the technical drawings you need. I am there as a sounding board all the way and am happy to plan and be on site at the installation!
I will be happy to help you with contacts for installation and purchasing.
