Gardenology, is a Cambridge Landscape Design company and has been serving the Cambridge area for more than 7 years, offering consultations, landscape design, plant supply and other services. Gardens are Jo's passion and she works hard to put the right plant in the right place.
Consultations
- If you don't require a plan and are just looking for some advice, then a consultation may be a good option for you. These can cover different aspects such as creating new landscapes, changing a garden/landscape, or maintaining an existing garden.
- $95 per hour
- If a client chooses to have Landscape Design plans prepared after a consultation, the cost of the consultation will be deducted from the design package price.
Landscape Design Services
The Design Process - consists of several stages and will usually take at least 2-3 months from estimate acceptance to final plan delivery.
Initial meeting - 1 hour free on-site consultation - no obligation. The objective here is to listen to the clients requirements, assess the project site and understand the scope of the project for estimation purposes. Also to ascertain which plan option (as detailed below) is best suited to the project (examples of the different plans will be available to examine).
Provide estimates for plan options, terms and conditions
Following estimate acceptance and payment of a deposit to secure contract, work can begin:
finalise the client brief
conduct site analysis and measure up
take photos
obtain any other relevant information (such as covenants, builders plans, drainage plans etc.).
Prepare initial concept design in draft form – allow approximately 4-6 weeks, (depends upon Gardenology's current design workload, clients will be advised accordingly if wait times are expected to be longer).
Meetings/discussions to make any changes and fine tune the design. Often several meetings/discussions are required. Once the client sees the images on paper, or obtains quotes for items, they often change their mind about some of their requirements.
Finalise concept design
Prepare any other plans in draft form (allow another 2-4 weeks)
Meetings/discussions to make any further changes
Finalise all plans and sign off
Final designs and reports are printed and delivered to client
