Design Services...

Anna offers a range of services including:

 

- advice about planting for a particular area of your garden

 

- a concept plan, which is a design for your garden, following a survey of the site and consultations with you about your requirements, using her questionnaire as a starting point

 

- a full design and planting plan, which includes a concept plan but also plant selection and layout of suitable plants for each area, based on: the site; soil & climatic conditions; and the tastes and preferences of you, the client.

 

- project monitoring - Anna can suggest contractors to build your garden and monitor the project, source and supply plants and also provide a maintenance schedule (including pruning information) for your new garden, so that you know how to best look after your plants over the seasons.

The brief for this long thin garden was simple, as it needed to be both low maintenance and somewhere to relax after work. The client also wanted lots of colour and planting to give the garden lots of year round interest. The problem of having a long thin garden was solved by the use of a winding path which meanders round screens which were used to create both height and different spaces within the garden.  Despite this the long views down the garden were still retained keeping a sense of space.

The above pictures show a garden that was designed specifically to allow increased universal access particularly with wheelchairs users in mind, highlighting the importance of practicality in the design of a garden as well as the aesthetics.  As well as access, this might also encompass considerations such as time available for management and upkeep, any user allergies or sensitivities etc
