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.....

    • Hello, I have your cat!!! I can't find a contact number but mine is 07845 277923.
    • Hi everyone, thanks so much for taking the time to come back on my thread - hearing all your responses has been very helpful.    I’ve tried some of the suggestions you shared about how to improve the connection but they don’t seem to make too much difference so I think we are probably in a dead spot unfortunately. I’ll keep trying though and hopefully it will get a bit better.    Coincidently, I found out yesterday that BT fibre broadband is coming to East Dulwich soon which should much improve the WiFi signal available in the area so I’m planning to switch to that as soon as it arrives. Fingers crossed! If you’re interested to hear how it is, feel free to message me and I can let you know.    Thanks again for all your help!
    • If you want to self cater and do it yourself, why not try one of the rooms in a church..  one I am thinking about has a huge room with kitchen and toilets… parking on site.. and another one worth considering is the church near Dulwich Library , top of Barry Road..  pm if you want more info and of course.. all the pubs on Lordship Lane. if you want further afield, Rosendale Pub has rooms above bar area that you can also hire…  Alleyns Head also good - section off a section of the pub for  your sole use and parking on site.. although,might not work if try want to dance and play there own music. Kingwood House might also be worth considering…   
    • Upstairs at The Castle in Crystal Palace Road is a nice space. It has been refurbished. It has a small bar and a small dance space. Robert the landlord is helpful and friendly, as are the bar staff. I will PM you.
