The Full Garden Design Process
Garden Visit and Survey
We begin with a garden visit, during which we can chat about your needs and wishes. Having got a feeling for the site and its potential, we will give you a price for a full design.
Phase 1
Should you wish to proceed with the Design, we will return with our rather impressive surveying equipement and conduct a full site survey. This records existing features, plants, trees, boundaries and levels.
Client Brief
Phase 2
Next comes the Client brief, possibly the most important part of the design process. You talk, we listen. The more you can feed us with ideas the better!
But worry not, if you want to leave it all to us that is absolutley fine!
Garden Design
Now it's time to get drawing! Your detailed Garden Plan will be drawn and then presented to you on site.
Phase 3
Your plan will be in full colour and a helpful second copy of the design will be provided to pass on to your contractor. ​
Phase 4
We have over 15 years of experience at completing builds from design. We have all the skills and knowledge required to complete all aspects of landscaping to the highest of standards.
​
Quotation to Build
Once your design has been approved, we can offer you a quotation to take your design from paper to reality. Our quotes are detailed and comprehensive.
Construction
Should our quotation to build be accepted the construction process will begin! Materials will be ordered, machines will come in and your old garden will be dug up! Well you do have to crack an egg to make an omellette.
We are conscientious workers and will always leave your property neat and tidy on completion.
Phase 5
Suffolk Garden Works operates as a two man team - Myself, Tom, the foreman, combined with a very hard working & experienced helper. I will be involved in the construction process from start to finish, I will visit you and your garden where either or both of you and James (or your chosen garden designer) will present the design to me. I will draw up a comprehensive and detailed quotation to see the design through and I will be largely involved throughout the entire build process. I have masses of experience at delivering gardens from design, as is apparent from our extensive portfolio on the website, all of the work that you see on here has been completed by myself and my team.
Phase 6
Garden plans can include a detailed planting plan and a plant maintenance schedule.
Garden Planting
Once the build has been completed, a detailed planting plan can be provided. All borders can be prepared appropriately for planting, plants supplied and planted!
