Faulkner & Chapman Landscape Design offer a range of services

- Design of Residential Gardens

The residential design process consists of :

• Preliminary meeting - A preliminary meeting takes place (usually on site) between the designer and the client. The client will outline a brief to the designer and the designer will discuss options for the garden. Based on this meeting a fixed price is agreed to for the design process. (there is no charge for this meeting).
• Site measurement (Any plans that the client can provide will reduce the cost of this stage)
• Preparation of a Concept Plan (Based on Clients brief and discussion with the designer)
• Meeting to discuss the Concept plan – Including preliminary cost estimates and provision of samples
• Preparation of a Master plan – Based on Clients final decisions during the Concept meeting. An allowance is made for further small refinements to design at this stage.
