Garden Design
Process & Fees
Janine Joyce Garden Design offers complete garden design and specialist planting plans as separate services, which can be commissioned individually or together, depending on your needs.
All projects begin with a free initial consultation, followed by a tailored design proposal and clear, itemised fees.
Free Initial consultation
This involves a one-hour on-site meeting with the client when the garden and your ideas for it are explored. A short written report will then be sent to you outlining the ideas raised and a fee proposal for design work.
Site Survey - From £300
Should you go ahead with the brief, a full site-survey will be carried out, including soil tests and plant stock evaluation, to enable a scaled drawing in CAD.
Garden Design - From £900*
An outline garden design will be created using CAD software, presented alongside a mood board to indicate style of materials and planting. Discussion with and feedback from the client allows for a round of amendments before the final design is signed off. At this stage, help to find a landscape contractor to implement the new design can be provided.
Planting Design - From £900*
Working within an additional planting budget discussed with the client, a planting palette will be carefully researched for the appropriate growing conditions, style, colour palette, biodiversity and all-year round interest. Structure, height, texture and form will all be considered. A mood board, seasonality chart and side elevation will be presented alongside a detailed planting plan in CAD. Discussion with and feedback from the client allows for a round of amendments before the final design is signed off.
*Fees are indicative of a small town garden.
Plant Sourcing, Supply, Setting out & Installation - from £350 per day
This service ensures that you get good quality stock in the correct quantities delivered to your door. The plants will then be watered, set out and planted up.*
*NB. Preparatory groundwork should have been completed in advance by the client’s gardener or landscaper. Fees do not include materials such as mulch or removal of waste.
Aftercare
You will be provided with an aftercare guide for your plants and a return-visit to monitor progress. Help to find ongoing seasonal maintenance and development could be provided.
