The Design Process

No two gardens are the same.
Sue Hayward offers a personal and friendly consultation and design service that aims to be flexible and meet the needs of the individual client.

Whether you have a small plot, part of a larger garden, or a large estate garden that you want redesigning or planting, Sue Hayward
will personally discuss your needs to make sure you get what you require from the design.

Garden designer Sue Hayward has helped a wide range of clients
to achieve the gardens they've always wanted. Guiding the client
from conception, through the design process, navigating the hard landscaping minefield, and finally through to the final plant selection, and planting.

From her design studio in Breaston, Derbyshire she hand-draws bespoke garden designs to scale, and now has the facilities to scan, print and email the designs directly to clients and/or landscapers in .jpeg or .pdf format, in sizes A1 to A4.
Clients also receive a hand drawn physical copy of the design by post.

If you have a project in mind and would like some honest and friendly advice as to how to proceed
please contact Sue Hayward on 01332 874 654 (office) - 07966 521 376 (mobile) - or E-mail: sue@suehayward.co.uk.

*Due to the restrictions with Covid-19 our "single day garden consultation" service has had to be suspended at the moment.
Hopefully I will be able to offer this service again soon when the Government distancing regulations are lifted and I can spend a day in your home and garden.
In the meantime, if you have a small/medium sized garden, then Sue Hayward Garden Design can still offer cost effective ways to get a bespoke, hand drawn garden design.
Please contact Sue by email with some photos of your garden for details.

How to commission a Full Garden Design

This is suitable for gardens where:

  • The whole garden needs to be considered
  • There are several specific areas that need to be designed and incorporated into the main garden
  • The garden requires more design detailing or complicated levels

The first step to a full garden design is to arrange for an Initial Consultation (see above).
The consultation can be anything from 2 hours up to a full day depending on the size of the garden.

For large gardens it can be more cost effective to book a full day initial consultation so that a site survey and an initial concept plan can be started while on site.

The Process

  • A complete survey of the site including levels if required (complicated level surveys may incur extra labour costs).
  • An on site analysis.
  • A design proposal where alterations can be made and approved.
  • The completed annotated design drawn by hand to scale with colour if requested (extra charge for colour).

Recommended Add On Services
These are services that would be required for a landscaper to be able to cost and build the design.

  • Scope of Works
  • Construction Drawings
  • Setting Out Drawings
  • Planning Documentation
  • Project Monitoring

Costs

The design costs will be broken down into stages and will depend on:

  • The size and complexity of the plot.
  • How detailed the design is to be.
  • Whether the design is to be a design and build plan.

Planting and Planting Plans

plantingSue Hayward can organise soft landscaping and planting with price scales to allow for your budget and the maturity and type of plants required.

Sue Hayward can plant up or arrange the planting of your entire garden or a specific area at a daily or hourly rate.
You may want to plant the garden yourself or just help so this service is very flexible.

The style of planting required and the area to be planted can be discussed in the form of a consultation (see above).

Planting plans are charged separately due to the time they can take to compile. Some clients may require just a planting plan for a specific border redesign.

If a full planting plan is not required then Sue Hayward can advise on the number, species and costs of the plants required then have them delivered to your door with the option of having them placed for you to plant up the garden yourself.

Soil Testing is available for Ph levels only or including nutrient analysis.

After-care schedules can also be drawn up if requested.

Landscaping

Sue Hayward will try to work to the individual clients budget as much as possible at the design stage and advise you on the possible costs to get the garden built.

Sue Hayward can organise one estimate for the hard landscape work if you require it. This is usually done by a landscaper whose work Sue Hayward is familiar with and has used before.

Sue Hayward can supply extra copies of the design in order for the client to then approach other landscapers for quotations at their request.

Sue Hayward can oversee the project in order to ensure the landscapers work is in keeping with the integrity of the design. This service is charged for by the hour.



Back to top of page.

Estimates can take time to produce and therefore are dependant on the landscapers availability during their busiest times.
This service is also dependant upon the size of the job to be done and the distances to travel. Further visits may incur extra costs.

Whilst suggestions for both landscape and lighting contractors can be given, all contracts will be exclusively between the client and the contractors.

Sue Hayward Garden Designs Ltd accepts no liability for contractors work
