Why Employ a Garden Designer?

A professional designer can be the catalyst for developing a truly inspiring and unique outdoor space and save wasted time and expense into the bargain

Although as a nation we have become increasingly confident in styling and furnishing our own homes, developing our outdoor spaces raises new challenges in terms of scale, materials and the prospect of working with living material.

As well as bringing skill and flair to the design process, a professional designer follows a structured and methodical work plan that ensures all relevant factors are taken into account. In short, a good designer:-

Can objectively integrate and balance all the key elements required by the client to produce an imaginative, yet practical, design. Knowing what to leave out can be just as important as what to leave in.
Has a wide-ranging and thorough knowledge of design principles and when and how to apply them to best effect.
Has a knowledge of building materials, how to use them and what they will realistically cost to install and maintain.
Has a detailed plant knowledge that ensures varieties are selected according to site, aspect and soil as well as their ability to provide pleasing associations of form, texture and colour.
