1. INITIAL CONSULTATIONThis is an initial meeting to understand the vision the clients have for their garden or landscape.
2. SITE SURVEY & ANALYSISA topographical survey is the least that is required to establish the current layout and current levels of the site.
3. CONCEPT & MASTERPLANAfter the survey is completed, concept drawings will be created showing a proposed garden layout in 3D perspective. These will lead onto the creation of a masterplan.

4. DETAILED DESIGNThe Detailed Design step adds a lot more definition to the top level masterplan, needed before construction can start.
5. CONSTRUCTIONAfter the detailed design is complete and tendering is complete, the project 'comes to life' and work can commence.
6. AFTERCAREThe garden is constructed but even a 'low maintenance' design won't mean 'no maintenance' ! So it's important to think about how to look after the garden when all the construction work is finished.
