Jonathon Charles provide a comprehensive design service for gardens of all shapes, sizes and budgets. Our bespoke design packages are tailored suit the individual requirements of our clients.

Why Pay For Design?

Paying for a design provides you with a professional service from an experienced designer. You can expect to have the very best in garden design and an end product that is rarely achievable outside of the design studio. Moreover, it allows you to control the cost of the project. Design provides you with the blueprint from which to obtain a series of quotations- in short, it allows you to get the very best deal in terms of cost. It is far easier and much more cost effective to re-draw a design than it is to make mistakes throughout the landscaping phase; worse still, without a visualisation drawing, you may not discover that something is not to your liking before it is too late; beautiful design is priceless.  

Concept Design

The first stage in the design process is to produce some concept drawings based on an initial meeting with the client. These provide the broad layout and theme of the garden but lack specific planting and building specifications.

Visualisation

As part of the process we provide perspective drawings that allow you to easily visualise how your finished garden will look. Many of our clients find that this takes the 'fear' out of the project.

Master Plan

Once a concept has been agreed, a master plan is created; this plan contains all the information that is required to build the garden, such as: specifications, feature drawings and measurements.

Planting scheme

A detailed planting scheme outlining the plant positions, sizes, quantities and varieties is used to provide the information required to plant the garden.

Plants are the stars of the show...

Our enthusiasm for plants borders on the obsessive. They are the heartbeat of every garden that we design. Their structure, colour and scent quite often drive the emotion that a garden evokes.

Many people are overwhelmed by the shear variety of plants that are available. Our extensive knowledge combined with our trusted suppliers ensures that we provide stunningly beautiful planting design alongside the highest quality plants.

Choosing the right plants for your garden's soil and aspect, whilst maintaining a colourful and interesting border can be challenging; our wealth of experience will help you achieve something special in your garden, without the 'trial and error' approach.

Whether you are looking for a full design, a new border, an overhaul of an existing scheme or some advice, we can help create the planting that suits you.

Using the services of the practice we can take you through every stage of the process, from concept to finished garden. We use trusted landscape partners, ensuring that our clients end up with a first class garden. Moreover, we are able to put the entire project together; quite often this involves a range of trades depending on the complexity of the design and what skills are required, 

Jonathon Charles Garden Design oversee the project from start to finish, ensuring that any problems that arise are dealt with swiftly and the garden that we have designed is the garden that you end up with.

Jonathon Charles provide a consultation service for clients who could use some advice but do not necessarily require a design service. We are happy to discuss any issues that you may have , whether that be general plant care, garden restoration issues, border reorganisation or the creation of an annual care plan.
