Help please! What's usual cost of a landscape gardener to draw up plans?


Southers

We just got a gardener in and got him to do planting suggestions (for free) and then he did all the planting and landscaping. The pure 'design' work was just a bunch of sketches based on stuff we liked the look of from pinterest. Unless you have acres of gardens and want to do something really high-end seems to me daft to pay a designer separately

I didnt like design



Did the designer not take a detailed brief from you as to exactly what your requirements were, and then discuss various options with you before s/he did the final design?


Bit poor if not :(

They did, yes. And I provided loads of photos of things I liked. I also gave an idea of budget and the design I got back was as if the ideas had never been given and the quote was twice my budget. I got the impression my job was too small and too much trouble.....

    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided. 
    • does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
    • MaryT, I’ve contacted the Dulwich Hill councillors several times in recent years, always copying them both in. I have never had an acknowledgment from Jon Hartley (not even an automated response or out-of-office) nor had any response or engagement from him regarding the issue raised.   On each occasion, only Maggie Browning responded (she uses an out-of-office if she is away). The last time, I received no response from either for 3 months, until Maggie Browning emailed me to apologise for not responding and asking if the problem had been resolved.
    • The  Kwasi effect is being considered.
