Planting design for beauty and climate
Drought-tolerant planting design, London.
Planting design is the professional service of creating plant communities that are right for your soil, environmental conditions, aspect and lifestyle. The MHGD planting design service is for landscapers and developers and individual homeowners.
My service incorporates textures, colour, space, void, mass and height alongside style and taste.
The MHGD planting design service offers you three levels of service appropriate for your project.
Additionally, I source, procure, inspect and place plants as an added service.
1) Full service: Planting consultation, plant list, planting plan, 3D visualisations of how the planting will appear
2) Mid level: Planting consultation, plant list, planting plan
3) Simple service: Planting consultation with plant list
You will need to provide a survey or measurements for your planing area, or we can manage an expert 3rd party surveyor to provide this for you.
Minimalist planting design, rooftop, London.
1) Full planting design service
The MHGD full planting design service is conducted by Melanie with assistance from plants experts as required. This is everything you and your landscaper need to order, place and visualise your planting and submit plans for planning applications. The process includes brief-taking, meeting online or on site, and brief sign off by you.
You will receive:
A plant list for your garden that responds to the brief you will be sent and agree to
A planting plan - a plan with a series of circles denoting where each plant should be placed.
3D computer graphic visualisations to represent how your planting could look.* *please note these are impressions only and cannot be species specific.
2) Mid level planting design service
The mid-tier planting design service give you everything you need to implement new planting if you are able to visualise the list and planting plan yourself. It removes the additional cost of rendering the design in computer graphics. It is not ideal if you need graphics to communicate the planting vision to other parties or cannot visualise a list of plants.
You will receive:
A plant list based on your brief
Planting plan
This is ideal if you are confident working to plan view and can visualise the design.
3) Simple service
The simple planting design service removes the complex elements - renders and plan creation - and delivers you the bare bones of planting that you will need:
A plant list based on your brief
A brief list of possible nurseries to buy the plants from who may deliver to your area
This is ideal if you plan to DIY your garden installation or simply need some new ideas for yourself or your gardener.
