Garden design process
1 – Free consultation
One of our friendly staff will visit the property to discuss what you would like. Depending on the type of work you would like, a garden design fee will be agreed and all the details passed on to our designer.
2 – Survey
Our garden designers develop a site map of the area and a thorough understanding of what you want. We bring design materials with us to make sure you know about all the options open to you for your type of landscape.
3 – Design sketches
Based on the survey design sketches are developed with costings for each option.
4 – Final plan
A final plan is developed and delivered with cost estimates. This can be in as much or as little detail as you require. It will include visual blueprints and sketches of your landscape design.
5 – Invoice
When you are happy with the design we will send a written invoice for the work

What if i’m not happy with the design?
For most people, their taste is unique. Our design process is designed to iterative so that we can create something which you love. We will ask for examples of the styles you like and the elements you would like to include.

Our Garden Design Philosophy
By landscape architect Adrian Scott
Designing landscape, at its core, is about modifying our surroundings to suit a particular need or desire, from simpler motives such as survival and food growing to complex cultural phenomena like gardens and monuments.
Today, environmental concerns play a larger role in landscapes, encouraging local food production and a greater connection with nature and the planet we call home.
Acorn Gardening landscape designs is about creating a place that you can call home, a place that suits your needs and budget and a place that gives delight.
We want you to get out and engage with your garden, we want you to enjoy your home environment and give you something that will last. A garden that can be somewhere to unwind with a cup of tea, somewhere to eat, and somewhere to connect with friends, family or nature.
We encourage Outdoor Living as a healthier, happier, better way to do life at home and are more than happy to help you do so!
