Pre Design

Before you embark on the actual design and layout of your garden, we would ask you to think about various issues that will be an important influence on your final design.

We have termed this section of our site the pre-design stage as these are considerations that apply before you or your garden designer commence on the actual process of deciding where the various elements will be located, how your garden will look and which plants to grow.

Our aim in this part of our site is to help you to consider the options available to you and to ensure that you get the best out of your garden.

We have divided this area into the three sections below:

Objectives

This deals with the subject of what you actually want to include in your garden and how you visualize using the space. You may have preconceived notions of your ideal garden, but it is essential that these are practical and achievable.

Influences

Most of us are inspired by what we see and this section deals with the various influences that will help you to focus on your final layout.

Site Characteristics

Finally, we take a look at the characteristics of your plot of land as these are likely to influence your final garden design.

Gardens are very personal places so it essential to spend time deciding what is right for you.
