The initial consultation involves getting to know you and your preferences and together formulating the overarching goals of the project.
First, I need to gather knowledge about the location of your garden, where are the sun and shades, what is already there and what should I leave untouched. Therefore, I need to receive some photos and videos of the garden.
Then I arrange a phone call. I will listen carefully to your concerns and wishes and share my best ideas and advices for your garden.
After phone call conversation you will have a sketch of your future garden, as a quick and simple way of exploring initial ideas for designs. After that we will discuss the sketch and check that we have understood each other and can thus indicate the exact cost of my services.
Tips: Before an appointment it is often a good idea for you to collect some pictures from magazines or take photographs of other gardens you have liked. With this you will get more understanding of your preferences in a garden design.
