Survey your garden
Surveying your garden is the first very important step, it is the basis of garden design.
If the following plans are not available to you, the survey should be done on paper and with a pen.
Topography / Floor plan
The shape and location of the building in relation to the plot. It is important to have some dimension lines on it, possibly also height points.
Floor plan of the building
This shows the parameters of the building, the location of the entrances and windows. From this I will know from which room of the house what garden details are visible and which areas are recommended to be treated as focal points.
Mark the missing items from the plans
Measuring paved surfaces (terrace, sidewalk), structures (storage, garage, swimming pool),
measuring the trunk of the plants to be kept (it is recommended to estimate the diameter of the canopy as well),
marking of utilities (water, electricity, gas meter, heat pump box)
Geodetic survey - prepared by a specialist (recommended for sloping gardens!)
Contour drawing with structures, paving markings, fencing, utilities, elevation points, and existing trees. It is needed if there are significant level differences in the garden.
Take photos of the garden
In addition to the existing plants and garden details, include pictures of fences, buildings, utilities, and pictures taken from the inside (window, balcony).
Compilation of necessary functions and wishes
The most important key question is who, how many and what I want to use the garden for.
For example, do you have children, how often do you hold gatherings, do you want to cook from your own garden, and so on.
You can also send inspirational pictures to help convey what kind of atmosphere you want in your garden.
* Tip: You can place the inspiration images on a sheet as a montage, the easiest way is to drag the images into a powerpoint (ppt / pptx) file or package them into a zip file, making it easier to email them as 1 file.
Send all the information by email
If you followed the steps, your wish list has been compiled. :)
So I would like you to email the above:
1. Manual survey or existing plans (site plan with missing items, floor plan ...)
2. On-site photos (compressed recommended)
3. A textual description of your ideas and a maximum of 3-4 inspirational images
