By moving through a series of design stages together, I come to understand not just how you’ll use your garden, but how you want to feel in it. It’s a quiet dialogue—shaping a space that weaves beauty into the rhythm of your everyday life.

Design : I will guide you through the design process—refining and evolving the design at each stage. Before we begin, you’ll receive a clear, fixed-price quote for the full scope of the landscape design services, so there are no surprises along the way.

Step 1 of the Design Process: a design proposal process reflecting an initial meeting, consultation report, sketch plan, and review for a full fee proposal.
Step 2 of the Design Process: the Design Development stage, moving from schematic plans to initial detailed CAD drawings for the preferred garden design.
Step 3 of the Design Process: Preliminary Construction Detail plans including overall layout, setout details, specifications, quantities, materials, and other general details.
Step 4 of the Design Process: Final Construction Detail plans being the final design package of plans and specifications for obtaining construction pricing, and for works.

Project Delivery : during the construction stage I actively support you throughout to ensure successful, high-quality outcomes.

Step 5 moves to the Construction Process: this stage provides assistance for construction contractor procurement by issuing plans, reviewing costs, and finalizing the works contract with the preferred contractor.
Step 6 is the main Construction Process: GardenSpace provides Support and Oversight to the clients and contractors during the works period, and at completion can provide maintenance options.
