DETAILING
Once stage 2 is signed off we prepare a set of detailed construction drawings and specifications including setting out plans and detailed technical drawings for particular elements of the garden, such as trellis, fencing, paving, water features, irrigation etc. All materials will also be specified and decided in this work. We prepare a lighting plan and schedule, which depending on the lighting scheme required, can be prepared in house or by a specialist lighting designer.
A full set of drawings along with a work specification and all CDM (Construction, Design Management 2015) documents will be prepared for the landscape contractor so that they can prepare their quotation.
Planting brings the garden to life and we use digital mood boards to show images of the full list of plants that we will use working with you to refine the planting palette. From this palette of plants, we prepare detailed planting plans showing the placement of all trees, hedging, plant, varieties, quantities numbers and spacing. A plant schedule is created from this plan and we send it to a number of nurseries to provide all plant supply costs for the garden.
At the end of the detailing stage all documents are ready for garden build quotations to be requested. We can recommend a broad range of suppliers / contractors to take our garden designs from concept to reality including water feature experts, lighting designers, soft landscapers, tree planting, hard landscaping and other external works. Or simply take our designs and work with the people you already work with, know and trust.
