Q1. Why
do I need a garden designer?
There
are lots of reasons why you may need the help of
a professional garden designer. Perhaps you are already a keen gardener
but you
need a bit of guidance and creative input to turn your nice garden into
a
stunning outdoor room or simply transform a border you are having problems
with. Maybe you don’t have the time to come up with a
design and to investigate the daunting amount of options available and
come up with a
coherent design which fits your needs. Perhaps you don’t
have the first idea where to start
when it comes to gardens and need someone to make the whole process
easy and
pain free for you. Or you have purchased a new property and the although finished beautifully on the inside, the outside has been left at best
uninspiring, at worst a thinly disguised building site.
Garden design encompasses a whole host of areas from
using the right plants in the right place to providing the right balance of
hard landscaping and planting and ensuring year round interest, texture, height
and so much more. To make your garden a stunning retreat a lot of knowledge and
experience is required which is why we recommend you use the services of a
professional designer.
Q2. What
are the benefits of using a garden designer?
There are many benefits which include:
- Having a well designed
and maintained garden can increase the value of your property.
- Gardens are becoming more
and more important as extra living space and are now used as an additional room.
- Concepts which you may have
not considered before can be discussed whether it be bespoke seating, the
latest plants, lighting, sound and much more.
- You can see how your garden will look before any of the actual work begins so you are not left disappointed on completion.
- The garden will be
designed to your requirements whether it be a haven for wildlife, a place for
entertaining or simply a place to relax and escape. Your favourite colours and
themes will all be incorporated into the design making it unique and perfect
for you.
- The incredibly important
infrastructure to the garden will be created for you, looking at all elements
amd making it easy for you to maintain and enjoy it for many years to come.
- You can simply brief the
designer and then receive the design and subsequently the garden of your dreams
without any work or worry of your own.
- You can have as much or as little input into the design as you like.
- Adding the "Wow" factor!

Q4. What
do I get if I employ the services of Vialii

- An initial FREE, no
obligation meeting to discuss your requirements, site assessment, presentation
of our portfolio.
- A follow up meeting to
present initial sketches and ideas for your comment.
- A final design sketch
showing all the elements of the design including lawns, paths, trees, planting,
seating areas, ponds etc.
- A mood board giving you a
feel for the materials and plants used in the design.
- A cost for the design to
be built using Wee County Gardening’s service
Q5. How
much will it cost to design my garden?
As you will appreciate every garden is different so it’s
impossible to give a definitive cost for a design without seeing the garden and meeting the client. We offer a FREE, no
obligation initial consultation where we discuss your ideas, assess the site
(take measurements, soil samples, look at aspect etc.) and present our
portfolio. From there the actual design cost can be anything from £300
depending on how complicated the site and design are as well as what elements
are included e.g. lots of hard landscaping, water features, lighting,
sculptures, bespoke seating etc. If you simply want a planting plan for a bed or a shrub border this can also be costed for.
Q6. What
locations do you cover?
We cover all locations in central Scotland.
However, we are happy to consider locations further afield with the
travelling expenses will be reflected in the costs.
Q7. Do
you build the design as well?
Vialii Garden Design’s sister company, Wee County
Gardening,
are happy to undertake the build of the design. We can ensure the
service is seamless so you don’t have the worry of having to
work with
different contractors and incur delays waiting to see your garden
completed. We are
competitively priced and as creators of both the vision and the actual
garden
itself you can rest assured your design will be completed as per the
plan. There may be some instances where we will use external
contractors but the details will be discussed fully with yourself.
Looking to the future, Wee County
Gardening can also provide a regular maintenance service for your garden, should that be required.
Q8. Do
I have to use Wee
County Gardening to build
the design?
No,
we are happy for you to use the designs and build your garden yourself
or to give the designs to your own contractor. If you prefer, we can
project
manage your external contractor to ensure they stay true to the design.
Costings for
this service will be provided along with the design.
Q9. Can
I make my garden eco-friendly?
Vialii Garden Design always encourage the use of
sustainable, local materials and environmentally friendly gardens wherever
possible. We are happy to discuss to what extent you want to make your garden
eco friendly whether it be alternative to patio heaters, use of solar panels, using local materials or
simply encouraging wildlife into your garden.
