The Cheshire Garden, Cheshire

We can design a planting plan for a border if the client can send us a sketch of the border, dimensions and a few photos.

For garden design layouts where hard and soft landscaping are involved we are instructing clients on how to carry out the garden survey themselves. Of course the measurements will require checking before any build work is carried out, but it means that we can get on with designing their garden while we are on lockdown so that everything is ready for the build as soon as we are let out again! We are conducting client meetings via Zoom which as you know has the benefit of being able to share my screen with the client.

Tracy Foster Garden Design, Yorkshire

I am offering a NEW service to design your planting – all done by phone, email and internet. To get started I need a rough sketch of the area to be planted, some measurements and a few photos – then the process can begin? Interested? Contact me and ask about PLANTING DESIGN’

With more time in our hands, now is a fabulous time to get out and get busy developing your own garden. A well resolved garden design can be treated like a recipe for you to follow and work through at your own pace.

We can work together through video or phone consultation to achieve a brief for your garden and develop a design using photographs and sharing a scrapbook of ideas and images. Whether you want a total garden redesign or help bringing new vigour to planted areas we can work out a positive way forward.

If needed I will supply guidelines for measuring and describing your existing garden so that I can draw plans for you. My usual services can easily be adapted to your specific needs. Stay well and get out and enjoy your garden.

Green Oak Services, Tonbridge Kent. Our two ways of serving you remotely are:

Instant Planting Schemes
High-impact, fresh planting ideas for your garden, large or small, that can be implemented quickly and easily. See the transformation in mere weeks.
For this, we schedule a video call and do a plant audit of your garden to see how we can add some drama. We assess what plants you have, what to revitalise and what to add. We can make practical planting suggestions for screening or tricky spots, and give your garden that professionally designed look at a fraction of the usual cost. You can share your favourite garden styles via images or Pinterest boards and we will send you a plan, a plant list for ordering your plants online, and easy-to-follow instructions for planting them successfully yourself.

Full Garden Designs
This includes patios, decks, outdoor kitchens, water features, outdoor lighting, and of course planting. If you are planning to have your garden redesigned to create some amazing outdoor living and entertaining areas, you don’t have to wait! We can prepare extensive designs remotely that can be ready for install by us or others as soon as lockdown restrictions ease. Give us a call to get some ideas.

Richard Rogers Designs, Buckinghamshire 

Remote garden and planting design service: Right now there are 2 main options

1.     We can still do a complete garden redesign. This is possible to do remotely and with site visits if this is possible without entering your house. We have written an article on how a garden can be redesigned during this pandemic – see below. It is unlikely however that the garden could be built until current restrictions are lifted as it is hard for landscapers to get all materials. However, it can still be worth engaging us to design the garden for you now as the design process and work involved in getting competitive quotes can take quite some time. When restrictions are lifted you will then be well positioned to start the build of your garden – ahead of others.

2.     We help you design your planting. Whilst retail garden centres have stopped trading, it is currently still possible for us to source plants from the wholesale nurseries that we usually use. Using photos and drawings of you garden we can design planting schemes and have plants delivered. We can either produce planting plans for you to plant yourself, or – if we can access the garden – can plant for you.

Dave Hodson Gardens, Gwent

Stuck at home at the moment and itching for a project? If you are lucky enough to have a garden this might a perfect opportunity to start work on the garden you've always dreamed of. Garden Designers are here to help and in the current situation their range of services are available a safe and socially isolated phone call or email away. Dave Hodson Gardens is based in South Wales but available worldwide at the moment to provide help and advice. Fees are something we can discuss when you get in touch, we can provide concept plans, construction plans, planting plans and ongoing help and advice, but just to get in touch for a chat about your garden is free and we would love to see how we can help.

A plan of your garden isn't a necessity, and to be honest for a lot of work high accuracy in that plan isn't required. However, it will help you and I work towards the best possible realisation of your ideas. It's amazing how much information can be downloaded from photographs or video calls, rough plans and sketches and resources such as Google Earth.

Here are a few tricks to help you get us the information we might need. 

• Photograph your garden from each accessible corner making sure everything is covered. 
• Photograph your garden from an upstairs window to give a rough plan view.
• Take pictures of the features outside your boundaries showing views you'd like to block and those you'd want to keep. 
• Try to accurately measure if possible the length and width of your garden and if possible diagonals that can help us fix the position of your boundary. If you can't accurately measure lengths then it's totally OK to just pace these distances. 
• Include things of known length in your photographs for instance if you photograph the house measure the longest side you can see in the photograph. Another trick is to photograph things of known length, fence panels are usually 6' in the UK and bricks are standard sizes.
• Note down different levels in your garden measuring up or down from fixed datums like steps or patios. 
• Note the direction of the sun at midday. Note which areas of your garden are in full shade or full sun. 
• Take pictures in leaf if possible of all the plants you want to keep. 

At the end of the day drawing up a plan is actually quite good fun and will definitely be rewarding in the long run. Good luck and stay safe.

After a telephone consultation we will send you a link for a face to face meeting and discuss your preferred garden style.

We also offer a planting design service creating plans for you to follow so that you can makeover your borders yourself. Many nurseries are still offering home deliveries of plants so this is a great way to support them and get your garden looking wonderful.

Austin Design Works, Gloucestershire

How we work remotely:

• We send out a questionnaire to potential clients asking them for their ideas for their project, the size of the garden, their budget for the project and any restrictions on the site such as .
• We request a virtual tour of their garden using video such as WhatsApp which can be easily uploaded and used to get an idea of the existing issues and spaces as well as photos from the upstairs windows etc., a guide will be provided.
• We hold an initial Skype meeting to get to know each other a bit and find out more about the project and describe how we work.
• Based on the address and post code we will do a desk top study making use of online mapping tools to get the orientation and setting of the property and a planning search to check for any restrictions or planning applications that have been made.
• If there are existing surveys that is brilliant but land registry plans or even house sale particulars can also be used for the initial concept stage. If there is no existing plan, then we send a guide for clients to use to get a rough idea of measurements and heights.
• We base our concept sketch design options on the information initially available and then require more detailed topographic survey for detailed design.
• We hold regular meetings via conference call or Skype and if the property is within an hour’s drive we can come and look around the garden whilst maintaining social distancing.

The services we are offering are full, however we suggest starting with Stages 1-3 for remote working:

1.     Site Appraisal
2.     Development of the Brief
3.     Sketch Design Options with Illustrations and Mood Boards
4.     Outline Cost Advice. The next stage requires detailed site survey information usually surveyors can go to site whilst maintaining social distancing.

Give me a call and we can discuss what you would like from your outside space. As I won't be in your home getting to know you and your garden, it's important that we spend a bit of time on this so I can design the right garden for you.

I've done a few of these already and they work well! 

If you want planting design, we can book it all in and order the plants as my nursery is still delivering. If hard landscaping is involved, that may take a little longer due to supply and social distancing, but your design will be ready to go when life gets back to something more normal.
