Thinking about transforming your outdoor space but not quite sure what working with a garden designer actually involves? Our garden design package inclusions cover everything from your first consultation through to full construction drawings, a bespoke planting scheme and ongoing support. Here is exactly what you get when you work with House Designer.
What Is Included: Your Garden Design Consultation
Every project begins with a video consultation with your garden designer. Whether you have a clear vision or no idea where to start, this is where we get properly into your brief. How you use the garden now, how you want to use it, what is not working and what matters most to you.
We cover the practical details too. Sun exposure and shade patterns, privacy requirements, soil conditions, whether you have pets or a children’s play area to consider, how much maintenance you are realistically happy with and your garden design style. The consultation shapes everything that follows so we take the time to get it right.
Included in Your Package: A Garden Layout Plan
Once your brief is confirmed we develop a scaled layout plan for your specific plot. Whether your garden is L-shaped, sloped, narrow or tucked behind a terrace, the layout works with what you have rather than imposing a generic solution onto your space.
We think about flow, function and atmosphere. That might mean creating distinct zones for dining, relaxing or play. It might involve a feature like a fire pit, a water bowl or considered lighting that lets you enjoy the garden into the evening. Every decision is made with your brief in mind.
What You Receive in Your Design Pack
Every client receives a complete design pack that includes a bespoke garden layout plan, a design concept capturing the overall look and atmosphere, and a detailed planting scheme created specifically for your garden and its conditions. For more complex spaces, photorealistic 3D visuals are available so you can see exactly how the finished garden will look before a single plant goes in the ground.
Also Included: Your Bespoke Planting Scheme
Planting is about far more than aesthetics. A well-designed planting scheme takes into account your garden’s specific conditions, your maintenance preferences and the atmosphere you want to create across all four seasons.
Our garden designer holds RHS Level 2 and 3 Diplomas in Horticulture, Garden Planning and Construction. Every planting scheme is developed with that depth of horticultural knowledge, whether you want a calming evergreen palette, a naturalistic mix of perennials and grasses or a garden that is full of colour from spring through to autumn.
Full Construction Drawings and Practical Support
This is where our package goes further than most online garden design services. You receive full construction drawings alongside your design, the technical documents a landscaper needs to price, plan and build your garden properly. Having professional drawings means you can approach any landscaper with a clear, detailed brief and get accurate quotes rather than vague estimates based on a description alone.
Your pack also includes a lighting plan, a material list, a comprehensive plant list with quantities and suppliers, and a shopping list for furniture and accessories. Everything is in one clear document, ready to use at your own pace.
