Garden Design And Build
-
What is a garden designer?A garden designer possesses the essential creative experience and horticultural expertise to plan your garden. They consider the client's specifications and budget. Other considerations include the garden's location, soil type, elevation, and more. The intended users of the garden and their purposes are also taken into account. Clients are then presented with a garden design, which may be in the form of a sketch, mood boards, or 3D visualization.
-
Do I need to hire a garden designer?If you possess a small plot and a clear vision, hiring a garden designer may not be necessary, especially if you're on a tight budget and seeking minor enhancements like general repairs, a modest patio, decking, or fencing. Landscaping companies typically undertake projects above a certain financial threshold. However, for extensive work or a complete overhaul, employing a garden designer is advisable. A meticulously planned garden design can increase your home's value by ensuring the garden's full potential is realized and enjoyed. Engaging a professional garden designer means leveraging their expertise; they understand the optimal methods for constructing patios and decking, the most appropriate materials, and the best plant choices for your soil type and garden layout. Errors in garden planning can be expensive to correct.
-
What’s a planting plan, and do I need one?If you prefer not to have many plants and your budget is below £500, enlisting the help of a gardening enthusiast or a knowledgeable friend might be your best bet. On the other hand, if you're planning a garden rich in plant variety, creating a planting plan is advisable. Such plans consider various factors including soil type, shade, sunlight, color, and style. Horticulturists, with their extensive knowledge in planting, can help you save both time and money by developing a tailored plan.
-
What is a garden build?Garden construction is a key aspect of landscaping. The garden build team will implement the garden design or master plan, which typically includes a combination of hard landscaping—such as excavation, patios, decking, and level adjustments—and soft landscaping, like turf laying and planting.
-
Why choose one company to design and build my garden?Having a single company design and construct your garden ensures a unified approach. For instance, at LPA Driveways & Landscaping , our design team develops the master plan for the garden. They coordinate with the construction team on both soft and hard landscaping elements. This method minimizes the likelihood of errors or misinterpretations of the design. Managing the entire journey from design to construction facilitates a smooth process.
-
How much should I expect to pay for a garden design and build project?At LPA Driveways & Landscaping, our garden design and build projects start at £20,000. This is the base price, with the final cost depending on your specific requirements, garden size, chosen materials, and desired outcomes.
-
How do I know which garden design to choose?There is a multitude of garden design options available. We request that you fill out a questionnaire to help us understand your needs. Our garden designer will discuss who will be using the garden and what you wish to achieve. Garden designs can vary from modern to family-oriented, rustic country to tranquil Japanese styles. It's crucial to consider your desired level of involvement in garden maintenance after the project's completion. Busy professionals often opt for low-maintenance gardens, while seniors may enjoy tending to the garden and might include a vegetable patch in their design preferences.
-
How do I know which garden materials to choose?We choose garden materials such as paving, decking wood, and porcelain based on your preferences, budget, and other considerations like sustainability. Our team will identify the most suitable options for your specific garden design. Afterwards, we'll present these materials to assist you in finalizing your decision.
