The first meeting

The design of your garden begins with a meeting on site. This provides the opportunity to meet with you. We familiarize ourselves with each other and as designers, we begin to comprehend more about the ambience your home projects and the personal sense of style you possess.

In this situation, the requirements of the garden are easily comprehended. We are able to respond to the way in which outcomes may be achieved through an integrated arrangement of the garden. We can also begin to recommend types of materials which would well suit the situation.

On a sensory level, we assess as much as possible- how different aspects feel, what sounds are heard, what visual stimulus is on offer, how does it smell, how comfortable are we, how do spaces flow and interconnect and to which sensory aspects you are sensitive. From different aspects and planes of view, we begin to formulate concepts which can be successfully adopted.

The basis of this meeting is a verbal exchange. In the hour or two of this meeting, facts are established and ideas begin to flow. It is a meeting of minds.
