Garden design — Landscape gardener
Describe how you want to use the garden, what must stay and how much maintenance you can realistically undertake. Provide dimensions and photographs showing buildings, existing trees, sunlight and level changes so the designer can develop a practical brief rather than copy a reference image without site context.
Service scope
Development of an agreed layout and planting or material proposal for an outdoor space, based on its users, dimensions and site conditions. Concept plans, detailed specifications and construction support are separate outputs; a garden design does not automatically include installation.
What is normally included
- Garden brief and site review
- Agreed layout and planting proposals
- Specified plans schedules or design revisions
What is not included
- Automatic construction or plant supply
- Uncommissioned structural or drainage engineering
Typical tasks
- Develop the garden-use brief
- Review dimensions and existing features
- Prepare agreed layout options
- Specify planting or materials to the appointed level
- Handover the design and next-stage requirements
What to include in your brief
- Garden plan and dimensions
- Desired uses and accessibility needs
- Retained features and planting
- Style budget and maintenance expectations
- Sunlight levels drainage and access information
Choosing the right professional
Compare the actual design deliverables and relevant site experience. Ask whether measurements, planting schedules, construction details and revisions are included, and make clear which specialist structures or drainage decisions need another appointed professional.
Important considerations
- A concept image may be mistaken for a buildable specification
- Inaccurate measurements can lead to unsuitable layouts or quantities
