Costs and Testimonials

See “How it Works” page for the process of creating a design with you.  A Layout Plan would be hand-drawn to scale.

A Planting Plan can be added, which shows exactly which plants go where, and how many are needed; I would add to this a ‘colour calendar’ which shows the colours on display at any month of the year.  I can provide Planting Plans without a layout plan, of one or two beds, for example.

I can provide planting and maintenance notes on all plants for a small extra fee, depending on the size of the plan, and I can source plants for you.

In addition I can draw up plans for briefing your contractor. These include working drawings with details of materials, dimensions and construction, and construction details of particular areas.

Testimonials:

“Can’t rate the service highly enough. Jane prepared planting plans as a Christmas present for my wife (who didn’t know anything about it). The communication was great, Jane was always in touch and took me (a non-gardener) through the process. Jane went the extra yard – as this was a Christmas present, the plans were laminated and presented in a way that I could give them as gift. The plans were exactly to specification, with great detail and good sketches. All in all – first class.” (David U, Norfolk)

“We asked Jane to provide a plan for a low-maintenance design for our ‘town’ garden. She provided several from which to choose, and having made our choice, she then gave us a planting scheme. A most professional job and we can highly recommend her services.” (Hedley and Alicia S., Towcester, Northants.)
