From concept to build
Garden Design
Why use a garden designer?
Using an experienced garden designer is a great way of bringing your current space to the next level.
We design outdoor spaces to be used as an extension of your indoor living areas, creating additional living space for you to use in everyday life.
Garden design saves time and money
Good design enables you to visualise your garden before it’s built. Certainty that you’re happy with the design prevents drastic changes during the build process which will save time and money.
Ironing out challenges on paper before the build starts prevents problems arising once your landscapers arrive. It’s easier to work through ideas on paper than it is on site.
Suppliers working from the same plan ensures a smoother, more efficient build process, allowing you to enjoy your new garden sooner, without the stress that can often accompany large scale projects.
Designing a garden is about problem solving
Good design cleverly utilises all available space in your garden to maximise the functionality of your plot.
Do you want a garden that gives you a beautiful and relaxing space to be in as well as a place to store the bins? Garden design is about creative ways to merge stunning gardens with practicality.
Willow Tree Gardens have over 15 years of experience in garden design and landscaping, meaning we can provide real advice on materials that will keep your garden looking beautiful for years to come.
Visualise your Garden before it’s built
Once your design is complete you will have a good feel for your space, and it’ll really start to come to life.
THE DESIGN PROCESS
01.
INITIAL MEETING & CONSULTATION
Tom will meet with you on site to discuss your initial plans, find out what’s important to you and get a feel of the available space.
02.
SITE SURVEY
This involves a more detailed site visit where accurate measurements and levels will be taken and the ground and soil quality will be analysed to prevent challenges further down the process.
03.
CONCEPT DESIGN
An initial detailed plan will be put together based on the information gathered at your site survey. At this point we can look in more depth at some proposed materials and discuss pros and cons of each option.
Once you’ve had time to look through the plan and materials, we will discuss your initial feedback before proceeding with the next step.

FINAL DEVELOPMENTS
With even more information and the feedback from the concept designs, a final detailed plan with all material suggestions will be put together. This will include a detailed construction drawing for challenging parts of the garden build. Most clients use Willow Tree Gardens for their garden build once the design is complete. Alternatively, you can ask other landscapers to tender for the build off the design. A scope of works will accompany any drawings which will provide even more written detail to the plans.
