Garden Design

We offer the full range of design services:

Overview / Layout Plans
Effectively master plans for a garden (or part of a garden) showing its detailed structure to scale, and incorporating new and existing aspects such as terraces / patios, water features, pergolas, walls, lawn and border shapes etc.

Planting Plans
Scaled drawings showing all new and existing plants and their precise locations. We provide an accompanying planting schedule, which lists all the plants, plus their sizes, quantities etc, and provides an indication of their cost – really a detailed shopping list.

Ideas & recommendations
In some cases, we simply provide clients with our thoughts, suggestions and recommendations as regards the layout, content and planting of their gardens. This can be a one off piece of consultancy. Sometimes an “ideas generation” phase can be a useful first stage in the design process, to be followed by more detailed plans once the client is happy that we are on the right wavelength.

In addition we can also produce specifications and construction drawings for clients, source plants for them, and offer plant maintenance advice and guidance.

ALDA Landscapes provides a free initial design consultation, after which we send prospective clients a proposal, outlining our understanding of their requirements, and stating what our fees will be for each possible phase of a design project. This enables clients to proceed with all, or just some of the phases, as required.
