Subsequently, we are happy to follow your own chosen timescale; some people prefer rapid completion, whilst others wish to spread the work out over a number of months or years, allowing  the development of ideas or helping with budgets.
 
At all stages we will consult fully with you, and are always available to answer any queries you may have.
 
Whatever you require of us, all tasks at Natural Gardens are undertaken with the principle of people and wildlife in mind.



The Way We Work

• The initial consultation is free, and normally takes around two hours or so. During this time we discuss aims and objectives and you can see what we have to offer. In addition, we’ll put you in touch with previous clients to act as referees.
  
  
• For straightforward tasks free quotations can then be provided.
  
  
• In the majority of cases where whole garden design is required, we find that it is best to first prepare a strategic layout plan, followed by the practical work itself.
  
  
• The layout plan allows us to decide on the positioning and design approach of all features. Although the feasibility and overall style of each element needs to be fully explored prior to inclusion, this plan does not usually require full details of planting or construction.
  
  
• Full quotations for all further design and practical tasks are worked out as part of the layout plan, allowing us to tailor it to your budget.
  
  

Payment

• Payment for the planning stage becomes due on completion of the layout plan.
  
  
• Once the plan and quotations have been accepted, payments for practical work become due as follows; 50% before work begins, 25% at the halfway stage, with the final 25% on completion.
  
  
• Larger projects are usually broken down into distinct phases of work. In this case the above payment schedule applies to each phase in turn.
