Anthea Harrison - Garden Design
Every garden design is custom made to suit your needs and your lifestyle. That way you not only gain a beautiful outdoor haven but a garden that works on a functional level as well.
Anthea Harrison Garden Design promises to make the most of your space whatever its shape or size.
To do that we offer the following services:
- Initial design consultation
The designer will come to your home to discuss your garden and your lifestyle, and how they interact. This is a chance to consider ideas, to look at pictures that may have caught your imagination and to gain an understanding of the scope of the project.
By using this opportunity we can make sure that you get the garden that you want. - Site survey
We will come to your house to take pictures and measure up. We will collect all the information that we need to create your design, not just the boundaries and fences but other major factors such as the positions of windows and doors and the less obvious, but important points, like drainage covers and soil testing.
We also take a note of the surrounding area and the impact that it may have on your garden. For instance, screening out any views that you may want to hide while making the most of the views that you will wish to keep. - Design plan (including details for contractors).
This plan will show all the details of your garden and any hard landscaping to be incorporated. For instance if a patio is included then we can suggest some of the optimum materials to enhance its integration. We will also show the areas for planting and specify any trees or other major items that may need your consideration. - Planting plan (from a single bed or border to your whole garden).
The planting makes a garden. A planting plan can be for just one bed or border or a whole garden. It will ensure interest all year round, not only visually but also through scent and touch. A planting plan will naturally include details for bulbs to maximise the colour of your garden.
A planting plan can save you money because all plants will be selected to suit your conditions and to look good next to their neighbours. No more traipsing around garden centres and ending up with the wrong plant for the wrong place. - Project management of the construction (using tried and tested contractors).
Anthea Harrison Garden Design can manage a tender process if required, oversee the project, co-ordinate timings and make site visits through the construction.
This process will ensure that your garden will be finished to your satisfaction. - Plant supply
To enable the planting plan to be implemented we can arrange for all plants to be of good quality, delivered direct to your door and laid out and planted in the right way. This can also include all the necessary soil preparation to ensure that your borders look at their best. - After care advice
We can provide a guidance pack to help you to look after your new garden.
