The initial consultation involves an on-site meeting where I am able to assess the site, take all necessary measurements & have a full discussion about your needs & wants. Often this involves a site walk together where design issues are highlighted & I get to know a little about your lifestyle. During this discussion a broad range of topics are touched on which further increases my understanding of what you would like to achieve. A plan is then prepared based on this information. This plan should start to give you a feel for how the garden will look & is a good basis for further discussion & refinement if required. Material selection is considered & various options are canvassed for the plan.
