Garden Makeovers

Garden designs are responsible for designing and creating plans for layout and planting of gardens and landscapes. Garden designers are professionals with varying levels of experience and expertise, but most will have some training in horticulture and the principles of design, and some are landscape architects, which involves an advanced degree with a more formal level of training. There are certain principles that form the basis of effective garden design, the creating of gardens to meet the needs and desires of the users or owners.

Common elements of garden design include the layout of hard landscape, the plants themselves, horticultural requirements, and combinations with other plants and landscape features. Garden designers will also give consideration to the maintenance needs of the garden and the budget, which will affect the choice of plants and many other characteristics. other important considerations include how the garden will be used, the desired style (modern or traditional), and the way the garden space will connect to the home or other structures.

Choosing a Gardener

Gardening involves a variety of jobs which can include landscaping, lopping trees, building ponds and even laying a driveway. Some gardeners specialise in work such as the best types of plants for your garden's soil, while others may specialise more on the appearance of your garden with ponds or water features. Gardeners don't require any formal qualifications, though there is a wide range of qualifications available which range from an apprenticeship through to certificates and diplomas in horticulture or even a degree. most gardeners will be happy to visit for free and offer advice, supplying you with a written quotation for work required. Some gardeners will charge by the hour, with rates from £15 to £30, whereas others will charge for a completed task.

Most gardeners will be happy to discuss a maintenance plan to help you plan ahead and you can also talk to your gardener for ideas on how to simplify your garden to reduce costs and maintenance. Professional gardeners have no shortage of work and so they don't need to make a simple task last all day, good gardeners are often booked months in advance so plan ahead and contact a local gardener before your garden becomes very overgrown.
