PURE garden design

Despite the advances in technology there is still a degree of expression and gut feeling that cannot be reproduced using computer aided techniques, so the drawing board is still the tool of choice.

The Sketch Plan

To design a garden we need a detailed survey of the site. For all but the simplest of sites we recommend that you employ a professional land surveyor. Although this is an extra cost it is usually money well spent - a garden designer does not have the same equipment or expertise as a land surveyor, and even the smallest discrepancy between the survey and site can add significant costs during construction. This is something that we would normally discuss during the initial consultation.

The designer then develops a sketch plan according to the needs and wants discussed at the consultation. This is the time when the designer is at the drawing board creating, refining and rejecting ideas as appropriate. Despite the advances in technology there is still a degree of expression and gut feeling that cannot be reproduced using computer aided techniques, so the drawing board is still the tool of choice.

Once it is complete we will arrange a mutually convenient time to meet and discuss the sketch plan. The sketch plan shows the proposed layout of the garden and indicates materials, finishes and planting styles. The sketch plan does not contain sufficient information to allow a contractor to build the garden - this is covered during the detailed design phase.
