Searching for a garden designer?
Working method
During an introductory meeting we get to know each other and discuss your garden wishes
If interested, a quote will be drawn up and sent to you
If the quotation is approved, the location will be mapped and measured so that the first draft design can be made
The draft design is presented to you. We discuss the plan and we can still make some adjustments if necessary
A planting plan and plant list can be supplied with the final design, so that the garden can be laid out including suitable plants according to the design idea
You can then choose to construct the garden yourself according to the plan provided or have the garden constructed by a gardener
It is possible for me to make designs for abroad locations from distance. In this case I would like to receive photos of the place, information about the soil type, and its dimensions.
Interested? Contact me, so we can have a look what I can do for you!
