Before getting going on redesigning your garden it’s important to have a good idea of your budget. This provides me with an essential guide and ensures that I always create feasible designs.

A flat fee of £50 is charged for the initial consultation visit (up to 2 hours), which is reimbursed later if further design work is commissioned.

Surveys are charged at £30/hr and take about 4 hours to measure and draw up, depending on the size of garden.

 

Garden design work is charged at £35/hr. Again, the time taken to produce a design depends on the size and complexity of the garden. However, as a guide, a detailed plan usually takes between 12 and 24 hours to produce.

 

Contract and project management is charged at a percentage of the overall project cost.

 

Planting plans are one of the most skilled and time consuming aspects of a project and cost between £120 and £500.
