Understanding Our Design Service Fees.
An investment in design excellence is the most important decision you will make for your landscape project. A rigorous and thorough design process ensures a clear, uncompromised vision, prevents costly mistakes during construction, and ultimately protects and enhances the value of your property.
We believe in a transparent and professional approach to fees. Our fee structure is based on the project's scale, complexity, and the level of detail required to deliver a comprehensive design package ready for construction. They reflect the time, expertise, and creative energy dedicated to developing your project from an idea into a detailed, buildable blueprint.
Our fees are for design services only and are quoted separately from construction and material costs for the garden. We advise a minimum total project investment of £40,000 (approx. €45,000) which will include construction and material costs to completion.
Investment.
We typically provide a fixed fee for the initial design stages up to the Finalised Masterplan (stages 1 to 4 detailed on How We Work).
For subsequent technical stages (stages 5 and 6 on How We Work), we provide a clear estimate of a fixed fee for the detailed technical design stages, which is confirmed once the full scope of work is agreed. The table provides an indication of our total design fees as a percentage of the total project investment (all works including construction and planting).
For ancillary services, such as Design Consultation or Bespoke Planting Plan, a fixed fee is charged.
