Process

At Vialii Garden Design, we understand what a daunting prospect it can be embarking on getting your garden designed. We will endeavour to make you comfortable through every stage of the process and keep you well informed of what is happening and what to expect. We will discuss the process in greater detail at the initial meeting but here is a ten steps guide to having your garden transformed...


1. Contact us to arrange the initial, FREE, no obligation meeting at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends. It is most helpful if you can give some thought to your garden before we come. Talk to everyone in your household and ask what they want and will be using the garden for. Consider how much time you want to give to the maintenance of your garden, What do you like or dislike, what styles do you like. Collate images from magazine or the internet and look at the
Styles section of our website for ideas of the types of things you like. Don't worry if you really don't know as we will have lots of ideas to discuss with you.

2. At the initial meeting we will discuss your requirements and what you want to use the garden for. We will also assess the site (test the soil, look at the aspect, drainage etc.) and take measurements as well as present our portfolio of designs. We will also discuss your budget as well as talk you through the process in more detail and discuss timescales. 

3. Following on from the initial meeting, we will send you a synopsis of our discussions as well as a quotation for doing your design.

4. You sign our Appointment Agreement form and we proceed with your design.

5. There will be a second meeting to present our initial ideas and a rough sketch. Once we get feedback from you we can then carry on with the full design.

6. The full design, drawn to scale, is completed along with a mood board showing our inspiration as well as a feel for both the soft and hard landscaping to be used in the design. Costs for the works to be completed by Vialii Garden Services are included as well as our project management fees should you wish to use external contractors.

7. You finalise payment for the design and ask Vialii Garden Services to build your design (should that be your requirement).

8. Vialii Garden Services build the design, ensuring the concept is fully carried out through the build, bringing your design to life. Some payment is required up front to cover materials with the balance due on completion.

9. A care sheet for all your hard landscaping and new plants is provided to make it easy for you to identify everything and care for your new garden properly. 

10. You finalise payment for the build and ask Vialii Garden Services to maintain your garden ensuring it remains beautiful and true to the design (should that be your requirement).

As you can see, we can offer you the full service from start to finish, leaving you to simply relax and enjoy your stunning newly designed garden. You can choose whatever elements suit your lifestyle and budget best.

Beautifully designed garden
