FAQ’s
What’s the process for a garden makeover?
Our first step is to arrange a suitable time to meet you at home for a measure up and meeting to run through your ideas and get a feel for the space and what’s possible.
From this we’ll produce a quote, usually within a week (occasionally longer during particularly busy periods). There’s absolutely no obligation or fees at this stage. If it looks like we’re on the right track with our ideas we’d ideally come back to fine-tune the designs and in any case we’d arrange a final meeting with you on-site before getting final approval from you to kick things off.
Where do you cover?
We’re happy to travel but most of our work is around a 50 mile drive of our base near Dumfries (excluding Cumbria).
Will mine be the only project you’re working on?
Yes. We know how frustrating it can be to feel like your project has been stalled or abandoned when the contracts seemingly start and then leave it for days or weeks at a time. This is usually when the workforce involved are juggling too many plates at once.
Occasionally we’ll be held up due to the weather but unless absolutely unavoidable, when we start working on your project, we’ll be there until we’re done.
Do you offer a design only service?
Yes, we would prefer to complete the project from design to finish but we can supply drawings and specifications should you wish. There is a fee involved for this service.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
Yes, we usually invoice a 20% deposit to secure the job and a slot in the work queue. We’ll agree a payment plan with you ahead of time and the project will be invoiced in instalments as we progress.
How long does it take to…. (insert service here)?
No two jobs are the same. We work on projects of all shapes and sizes; some take weeks and others can be completed within an afternoon.
We don’t charge for any of the initial quote or scope out works – please speak to us.
