DANIEL COMBES GARDEN DESIGN

DESIGN PROCESS

Our aim is to create beautifully crafted gardens which are loved by our clients and help cultivate a deeper appreciation for the natural world. Whether a large-scale landscape or a small courtyard garden, our design process has been tailored to produce outstanding results.

Our Garden Design Service is detailed below.

  • Introductory meeting to discuss your project & our first impressions of your garden

  • Define the design brief & deliver our fee proposal

  • Upon instruction we will require a topographical survey of your site. We can help appoint a local surveyor

  • We will deliver a Master Plan outlining the spatial composition, hard & soft landscaping and any other key elements

  • We then present the Master Plan in person to you

  • Detailed Design - once you sign off the design concept, we then create a detail pack which includes everything you need to give to a contractor to build your garden.

  • This includes a material & layout plan, level, irrigation, lighting and ducting plans, plus any other construction details required

  • Planting Plan - we pride ourselves on our planting schemes and will deliver detailed planting designs, sourcing all plants from the very best growers

  • We set out the plants according to our plans and make sure the soil has been properly prepared

  • Tender Process - prepare final construction package, Bill of Quantities and Contractor Brief to be presented to selected contractors for competitive quotes

  • Upon receipt of quotes, detailed cost engineering to achieve outline budget

  • Source specific contractors, crafts people and specialist fabricators

  • We can also support you through all aspects of the planning process where necessary

  • Build Phase - on appointment of a contractor, and any sub-contractors, we are available to assist with Project Monitoring (this is charged at an additional rate)

  • On completion we will be on hand to ensure that you are completely satisfied

“We started our landscaping project with a somewhat blank canvas. Throughout the initial discussions, Dan proved a great 'listener' which led to him providing a design exactly as we were seeking….At all times, the project felt one of collaboration as Dan has a great way of making sure our views were heard while providing his expert input.” James

After Care

We are available to support the ongoing development and maintenance of your garden, and offer various after care packages.

Pricing is based on the scope of work required.
