The garden design industry gets busy by March so the best time to
plan your garden is in fall or winter. Supplies
and labour are in high demand come spring, so long waits
are not uncommon if you don’t plan in advance.
Besides, designers love to get creative by a warm winter fire, dreaming
up delightful summer gardens. Here's how the process typically works.
Anne starts each project with an initial consultation to determine her
clients' desires for the garden space. She then assesses the natural
elements of the site such as the climate, soil, drainage, and existing
vegetation and structures.
After the consultation process is complete, Anne creates a preliminary garden design with her clients budget in mind. This
early design is an opportunity for her clients to conceptualize on paper what the space will look like. The client can then make further recommendations or requests before a final design is completed. Take a look at some samples.
Once the design process is complete, Anne works with a number of professionals to create your garden habitat. Depending on the complexity of the design, Anne may incorporate any number of the following services:
- Pond work
- Stone work
- Masonry
- Irrigation
- Lighting
- Carpentry
- Plant sourcing
- Excavation
- Arborist services & reports
- Custom metal work
