Garden Design

Good garden design incorporates the purpose of the area or building to make the area appealing and serviceable.  A sense of place and a relaxing ambiance can  either be calming or uplift the users of the area.

There are a few considerations when developing a garden that are essential and should not be overlooked.  Below is a few of these elements but each space has its own special requirements and a site analysis is the most important step in creating your dream garden whether for commercial or residential sites.

• Consider who will use the space and the purpose of the area.
• Make sure design elements to suit the client brief. This is really about what the client wants to achieve from the new garden area.
• A major consideration is the ability of the client to maintain the new garden. I like to build maintenance programs into the design to suit the ability of the client to maintain the garden into the initial design.  This means getting it right the first time and making sure the new creation easily manageable and will be loved and used by the happy recipients.
• It is essential to create a sense of place with a vitality to suit. This could be invigorating  or relaxing. It depends on the location of the area and is really the sense of purpose of the design.
