Garden consultancy and advice
A one-off consultation is a really popular service. Not everyone needs a complete re-design of the garden, and an initial meeting can prove to be a really good starting point for getting advice, or deciding what needs to be done about particular problems.
There is nothing like discussing your garden, and what might thrive in it, with someone who is passionate about gardens!
Following the initial consultation, I would normally produce a written report with advice on how to proceed. Depending on the nature of the garden and the intended projects this report could be all that you require, or it could lead to any of a wide range of solutions for developing the garden using my knowledge of plants, construction materials and design techniques, and my links with contractors and suppliers.
