The Garden Design Process

At Kate Elysee Garden Design and Build, we follow a three-step process to ensure that we deliver high-quality services that exceed our clients' expectations. Here's what our process entails:

• Step One: Kate will view the project free of charge within a 10-mile radius of the office base. During this free viewing, which lasts for approximately half an hour, the client can discuss their needs and desires for their garden. If a design is required, the space will be surveyed by her team, and for more complicated schemes, a surveyor will be brought in.
• Step Two: An initial plan is produced, showing the proposed areas of hard and soft landscaping. Once the client has viewed and approved or made adjustments, a concept plan is made in 2D, detailing the hard landscaping and areas of planting. A construction note plan is then produced from which the landscaper can give a separate quote.
• Step Three: The planting plan is a separate plan that shows existing plants as well as new plants to go in the garden. The number required of each plant, sizes, and prices are all included in this plan, along with a maintenance sheet. If all the above is agreed with the client, dates would be arranged for the landscaping, followed by the planting. All site visits are charged a fee, and planting can be arranged by Kate and her team. A fee agreed with the client is payable at each stage of the design process.
