She will work with you on your requirements to design an initial landscape architect consultation session on your own. When we have agreed to your requirements, Ann will produce the outline design for your garden. The detailed design stages and monitoring of the implementation of the design will on from this. Alternatively, if you already have a garden that you love but want help with the planting, Ann can create planting plans for your borders.
As a professional garden designer, Ann is proud to provide a professional and friendly design service that clarifies your vision and creates a garden that integrates with your lifestyle. From the initial consultation and outline plan, she will prepare for the construction of your beautiful garden by preparing a scope of work that will specify the dimensions for each part of the garden.
