Garden design

A site survey, a scaled plan, a planting list by season and 3D views of the main spaces.

Duration
Three to four weeks
Areas
Sagunto to Dénia

Every garden starts on paper. Ingrid and the design team walk the site, listen to how it is used and come back with a plan that fits the house, the light and the water the garden will really get.

The result is a set of drawings precise enough to build from, whether we build it or not.

What is included

  • Measured survey of the site, levels and existing trees
  • Soil, sun, wind and water notes
  • Plan to scale with every path, wall and bed
  • Planting list with sizes, spacing and season
  • Irrigation and lighting layout
  • Two rounds of changes

How it goes

  1. Survey

    A morning on site with a laser level, a spade and a lot of questions.

  2. Concept

    Two or three ways the garden could work, as sketches and references.

  3. Plan

    One direction drawn to scale, with the planting and the hard landscaping.

  4. Handover

    The full drawings, ready for us or any builder to price and build.

About garden design

All questions

What people ask on the first visit.

Can I take the design to another builder?

Yes. The drawings are yours once the design fee is paid, with every measurement and plant needed to price the work.

Do you design small spaces?

Often. Courtyards and terraces under 50 m² are some of our favourite gardens, and the design is priced by size.

How do you choose the plants?

For the soil, the sun and the water the garden really gets, mostly Mediterranean and native species that need little once settled.
