VISIT PROJECTS

GARDEN DISIGN

A garden in which you can completely relax is perhaps the most important thing after a busy day.
If you are not satisfied with your current garden or if you want to make your new plot something exclusive, an adapted garden plan may be the solution.

Your wishes will be incorporated into the design so you can enjoy your piece of greenery for a lifetime.

A first meeting to hear about your wishes is for free.

For a garden design, I follow a few simple steps:

Initial interview
Basic design with discussion
Planting plan and lists
Delivery garden design
Aftercare

The implementation of the project is entirely in your own hands!

You can choose to contact a garden contractor with whom I work
You can look for the garden contractor of your own choice
You can do the implementation completely by yourself and and limit your costs

1. Initial interview
During a first site visit we discuss your wishes. What do you want to use the garden for? Family needs? Which elements should definitely occur and what do you really hate? And so on ...

2. Basic design
With the information you provide at the initial interview, I 'll get to work and make a hand-colored basic design.
This plan shows how the design is put together, where which elements are used, you'll find the view axes, and so on... This will give you a good idea of the atmosphere that will be created. This plan will be discussed and your comments will be included in the planting plan.

3. Planting plan and lists
° Your comments on the basic plan are integreated in the planting plan. This plan clearly shows where which plants are used, indicating the correct numbers per planting section.
° The planting plan includes a list of all the plants used and some important properties such as flowering period, height and total number of plants.
° In addition to this list, you will also receive a fully illustrated plant list with photos and characteristics of the used plants.

4. Delivery garden design
Upon delivery of the garden project you'll receive a full explanation of the plants used, I'll give you tips for the concrete elaboration of the project and I can help you find the right supplier.

5. Aftercare (option)
As aftercare I provide guidance in the implementation of your dream garden.
Up to 2 years after delivery of the garden plan, you can call on me twice for advice on implementation. I will be on site to answer your questions.
Ideal if you still struggle with some problems about the organization or planting of your project. This is included in the total package of your garden design.

For prices and information please contact me by phone.
