Once you’ve paid your deposit, the process begins with a professional topographical survey and we’ll arrange this for you using a specialist land surveyor.  The document captures data such as heights of existing features including walls, steps and fences.  Other features include your house and any outbuildings, inspection chambers, trees, borders, patios and outbuildings*.

The topographical survey provides the basis for your garden design and it’s what we’ll use to capture data for the site analysis (step two) and when exploring ideas with Lee (step three).

The usual turn around time from booking your survey to us obtaining the survey details is around 2-3 weeks but we’d recommend allowing 4 weeks just to be on the safe side.

*Note – The survey will illustrate existing boundaries rather than legal boundaries, does not show the location of underground services and will only indicate trees and key shrubs rather than individual specimens.
