A Tailor-Made Process for Every Garden

Understanding that each garden project is unique, Redbook Garden Design employs a well-structured process designed to guide clients seamlessly through the design and implementation stages. While the specific services offered may vary depending on the scope of the project and client requirements, the core elements remain consistent. Ana believes in a collaborative approach, working closely with clients to understand their needs and preferences. This ensures that the final design reflects their vision and exceeds their expectations.

Transforming Gardens from Concept to Reality

From initial site visits to the creation of detailed garden plans and planting schemes, Redbook Garden Design provides a comprehensive range of services. The process typically begins with an in-depth consultation, where Ana visits the site and discusses the client's vision for their garden. This initial meeting allows for a thorough exploration of design elements, desired features, and budgetary considerations.

Following the consultation, Ana meticulously surveys the garden to capture accurate measurements, existing features, and soil conditions. Based on the information gathered, a detailed garden design plan is created, showcasing the desired layout, planting locations, patios, pathways, and all other key elements. The plan is accompanied by mood boards, which provide visual inspiration and showcase suggested materials and plant choices. A comprehensive planting plan, detailing the botanical names, locations, and quantities of each plant species, is also provided, ensuring a cohesive and thriving garden ecosystem.
