We are passionate about creating outdoor spaces and
have been designing and building gardens since 2009.
Employing a design and build company, means you don’t have the headache of trying to find a contractor to build your garden.
If you have chosen us for our design and build service then once your plans are finalized and agreed, our build estimator can accurately assess how much the build is going to cost.
Having all the necessary services in-house means that we can meticulously manage your project through each stage; and as we work on one project at a time you can always be certain that you are getting the best possible service.
We would always advocate having your garden designed. The design stages help you to focus on how you wish to use your garden and enables you to get as much out of your outdoor space as possible.
The design process also gives you the opportunity to make adjustments to the plans and keep your project on budget.
Design and Build Process
Phase 2 – Proposal
After the consultation we will compile you a proposal. The proposal outlines the elements discussed at the meeting and gives you an estimate of a realistic starting budget.
The proposal will include the fees for the survey and design work.
Phase 3 – Design Agreement
If you decide that you are happy to proceed with Landspace we will send you a design agreement.
The agreement outlines our terms and conditions for the design work. It gives you, the client, a signed document of what to expect at the different stages of the design process.
You will also be asked for a payment for the survey and design fees. This is required before the design process can be initiated.
Phase 4 – Site Survey
A Topographical land survey or basic survey (depending on size) will be taken of the garden area. The boundaries, level changes and where necessary the underground services, will be plotted in preparation for the next phase.
Phase 5 – Sketch Plans
Once the survey is completed we will present you with 2-3 hand drawn sketch plans. These sketches will show how the garden can be divided to give you the optimum use of your space and to create areas of interest.
Phase 6 – CAD Design
Once the sketch plans have been discussed and agreed upon we will then proceed to draw the final 2-D design in CAD (Computer Aided Graphics).
Special Features
We can also provide detailed CAD construction drawings and specifications for special features.
Phase 7 – Planting Plan
The design package will also include a planting plan or planting suggestions. The fee for this depends on which design package you choose.
A maintenance guide for plants can also be provided on request.
Phase 8 – Lighting Plan
On request we are able to offer lighting plans and lighting installation.
Phase 9 – Build Costs
The next stage is the implementation of the design. In order for the build to proceed we will give you a breakdown of how much the build of the design is expected to cost.
When this is agreed, we will send all the necessary paperwork to initiate the build. This will include our terms and conditions along with the works and payment schedules.
