Landscape Design Service

Landscape gardening design is all about the design of and the planning for care of an outdoor garden space. Whether that’s for a residential garden, a local yard area, or even a public park. There are a number of tasks involved in a landscaping design service, including but not limited to the planning and designing of the layout of the space (perhaps the most important one); the selecting and installing plants and other features; and of course maintaining the space on an ongoing basis.

Why do people use a Landscape Gardening Service?

Landscape gardening is done many reasons, including but not limited to aesthetic enhancement, recreation, and environmental conservation. As Landscape gardening professionals, we may work with many materials, including plants, trees, shrubs, flowers, soil, and hardscaping elements such as stone, brick, and wood. We also may use lots of different tools and equipment, including shovels, rakes, pruners, and power tools.

Professional landscape gardening requires a combination of significant horticultural knowledge, design skills, and lots of practical experience, something we’ve had completing more than 5000 projects in the Surrey area over the last 50 years or so.

Site Analysis

The first step in the design process is to analyze the site and determine its existing conditions, such as the location of existing vegetation, topography, and other relevant physical characteristics.

Conceptual Design

This involves creating a preliminary design that incorporates the client’s vision and preferences, as well as any functional requirements for the landscape, such as outdoor living spaces and garden beds.

Master Planning

This involves creating a comprehensive plan for the entire landscape that includes detailed design elements for each area of the site.

Garden Design

This involves designing individual garden areas within the landscape, including flower beds, vegetable gardens, herb gardens, and ornamental gardens, taking into consideration the type of plants, their growth habits, and their preferred growing conditions.

Hardscape Design

Sustainable Landscape Design

This involves incorporating environmentally-friendly and sustainable design practices, such as the use of native plants, rain gardens, and other techniques that promote the health of the ecosystem and reduce the impact of the landscape on the environment.

Construction Documentation

This involves the creation of detailed construction drawings and specifications, which may used by contractors to build the landscape according to the design plans. The designer also oversees the construction process to ensure that the final product meets the design intent and the client’s expectations.
