Crowther Gold Leaf Design Service

Our Gold Leaf garden design service caters for the larger (over 200 sq m) or more complex garden.

Step 1 Initial Visit
We will meet you at your home to discuss the issues involved, your aspirations, tastes and the practical aspects.

Within 5 working days, you will receive:

  • Notes describing our understanding of your requirements
  • Our design intentions
  • Our quotation for the remainder of the design commission-steps 2, 3 and 4.
Step 2. The Dimensional Survey
On receipt of your written order, we will arrange to carry out a full dimensional survey of your garden and the exterior of your house and other buildings. The survey will include:
  • Analysis of soil types, ph and conditions
  • Aspects and levels
  • Details of prevailing winds
  • Evaluation and plotting of existing planting.
A feeling for the style of the interior of your property, adjacent to the garden, is useful too.

If the work involves walls, bridges or other substantial structures, subject to your approval, we may have to employ other professionals (e.g. construction engineers) and pass the invoices on at cost. Possible disbursements such as planning application fees, land survey and soil testing charges will be passed on to you at cost.

Step 3 Concept Plans and Sketches
We will thoughtfully condense all the information gathered and produce a concept plan and present it to you. We will note any agreed changes and amend the design accordingly.

Step 4 The Completed Design
We will present a carefully hand drawn black and white scale plan. The B&W Scale Plan will detail:
  • Existing features to be retained
  • Any new planned design elements
  • The positioning of proposed new trees and borders
  • If required we can also provide 3D visuals, construction drawings and colour rendered plans. (extra price)

Step 5 Planting Plans
If required we will estimate for and submit separately, a scaled planting plan. The Planting plan details:
  • The existing planting to be retained
  • The accurate positioning and naming of the proposed new planting
  • A plant schedule, detailing botanical names, sizes and quantities.
Payment Schedule
Our charges and payments schedule (applies to U.K. only)
PAYMENT 1 - 20% of the agreed Design fee is payable as a deposit.
PAYMENT 2 - A further 50% is payable on presentation and acceptance of the concept plans.
PAYMENT 3 - The final balance is payable on presentation and acceptance of the completed design.

When you are ready to have the scheme installed Crowther Landscapes will be delighted to provide written quotations for the construction work.
