Why Employ a Garden Designer?
Just a few of the reasons why employing Sheaf Garden Design can bring numerous benefits to you, your home, garden and environment:
Impartial Advice - I aim to create a design to suit your needs and budget. Plans enable quotes from several contractors that can be compared. Materials are chosen to suit your pocket and the design. Plants are chosen that are compatible with the design and will flourish in the conditions of your garden.
Spread The Cost - A plan for the whole garden which can be implemented in stages to suit time and money constraints will enable you to spread the cost of construction. The plan can include a schedule of which elements of the garden should be built first, second and so on to minimise disruption in the later stages. Add value to your home with a well designed garden. A well designed garden often has great impact and usually appeals to future buyers. It can help when selling, giving your home the edge over others and can give your home added kerb appeal.
Reflect Your Style - A Designer's brief is to interpret your needs and lifestyle to create a garden that reflects your personal taste while ensuring it remains functional. Low maintenance gardens are requested for a variety of reasons from lack of time, disability, or just no interest in gardening. A clear plan can ensure that a pleasing space is created and that any work needed is within the limits of the owner. There isn’t however a no maintenance garden, those are car parks.
Advice to Make The Most of an Existing Garden - Just moved in or have a neglected garden and don’t know where to start? Often a plan can make use of what you already have or help you get it back in shape. Changing needs due to a growing family or access issues following disability or just get a bit older can make a garden both daunting and unusable. This can lead to the feeling that you may have to move. Plans can overcome these problems and can return the garden to being an enjoyable part of the home. Improving the environment I can use my knowledge of ecology to design your garden not only to be a great outdoor room but also to be a wildlife haven attracting birds, insects and perhaps small mammals.
