What are the steps of having a garden design created?
Before you choose to have a garden design created by a landscaper, you will of course want to know how that process works. Read below what you can expect from having a garden design made:
- The garden architect will visit you to identify the area, material and budget that will be used. Your wishes for the garden design are discussed and the garden architect gives useful advice from experience so that your garden will be beautiful and practical.
- The garden architect leaves and starts working with the input, the first version of the garden design is made.
- When the garden design is made, the garden architect discusses it with you and tells you what materials are needed and what the costs will be.
- If the garden design is not completely to your liking, it will be adjusted so that you are completely satisfied. After all, it will be your dream garden.
- The final design will be presented to you and the costs of its realisation will be discussed.
- At last, you will choose a gardener who will carry out the project to realise your dream garden.
Exactly how long it takes to make a design depends on the professional you have chosen and the area of your garden.
Tips for having a garden design made
Are you ready for a beautiful garden design that completes the approach to your home? Read the tips below to make the process of creating a garden design as quick and smooth as possible.
Gather data and examples of your dream garden
To have the design completed as quickly as possible, it is useful to do some preliminary work yourself. Think about making a mood board, for example, so that the garden architect knows what you like. It is also useful to draw up a list of wishes: what do you like in your garden and what do you absolutely not like. And indicate, for example, how much time you want to spend on maintenance, so that the garden architect can take this into account in the garden design.
Choose a standard design
Do you want your landscaper to get to work quickly on your garden design, but still want a beautiful garden? Then opt for a standard garden design. The landscaper always has a number of standard designs that, with minor adjustments, are also suitable for your garden. The garden designer does not spend as much time on this as on making a new design, which also keeps labour costs down.
Compare prices
Always go with the first the best garden designer can make you pay the highest price, which is a shame. Always compare prices of several landscapers and gardeners first so that you can be sure to put the landscaper with the best value for money on your project. For example, choose a landscaper or gardener near you to save on travel costs. You can easily compare several prices by requesting quotes.
The advantages of making a garden design
Having a garden design made is a wise choice if you want to enjoy your garden for many years to come. You can thus be sure of a design that suits your needs and also takes garden maintenance into consideration. Having your garden completely in one style is not the only advantage a garden design offers. Check out 3 other benefits of a garden design here.
- Garden design to scale
Both a gardener and a landscaper know exactly what the right dimensions are to lay out your garden logically and livably. A garden design is a map on which your garden is drawn to scale. That way you don’t have to guess and you know exactly how many tiles you need for your terrace, how big the pond can be, how many metres of fence are needed and the amount of plants. - Valuable advice
A landscaper looks at your garden from a logical and feasible point of view. By consulting with a garden designer or landscaper, you easily combine the creative ideas you have yourself, the professional insight of the subject specialist and the interesting ideas they still have to offer. The advice that the professional gives you is valuable because it is feasible and takes your wishes and budget into account. - Cost estimate for garden landscaping
When creating a garden design, the garden architect or landscaper keeps track of the exact costs of the elements and materials that will be used for the garden. This way, you immediately get a realistic cost indication and there are no surprises.
