Whether it’s a large or small garden, you can be certain of receiving good quality data.
How our surveys benefit garden design & planning
What projects include garden design & planning?
Residential garden designs are the most common garden design and planning projects. Homeowners will engage a garden designer to provide ideas and expert guidance to help them develop their outdoor space. This can be a blank canvas in a newly built home or a redevelopment of an existing space.
We carry out the measurements of the site before any designs are planned out. This then allows the garden design team to begin formalising their ideas with an accurate and scaled site plan to start from.
By trusting our experienced land surveyors with the measurement process, garden designers can prioritise the creative process. With the time and freedom to concentrate on the garden landscape design, we support them to deliver a higher quality project overall.
All our surveys are issued in CAD format that is compatible with the majority of design software used by the landscape and garden design sector. We can also provide the existing site plan in other formats that you may need.
Having accurate and up to date information allows the garden design project team to plan better. This supports the whole project with more realistic timelines, more accurate budgets and a better understanding of resource requirements.
