Gardens, when possible, should reflect the
personality of the people who are to use them most. My ideas
and designs are, therefore, put together and developed by way of a
series of meetings with my client in order that the completed plan
fulfills at least the majority of their own
aspirations.
I have a strong 'Design and Build' background
and, therefore, my designs will not only produce a beautiful space
but will fulfill the detail required for the initial construction
and will have dealt with the future ergonomics and maintenance
procedures.
Where possible I like to produce a fixed price
for the design work, negating any worries of an escalating
cost. The price would include the survey and the attendance
of the meetings along the way. If the project is beyond my
locality the travelling costs may well be a point of
discussion. Any charge would be agreed well in advance of any
work being carried out.
