Landscape Design and Planning. Depending on the clients needs we can:. Draw a detailed plan (this is most often the case), or. Meet for a 'person to person' garden or landscape advice session. A landscape plan is usually the best approach because it:. Allows the client to 'see' the landscape prior to construction. Provides a 'road map' to follow if the client is doing their own landscape. Allows for 'apples for apples' quoting if the client is engaging contractors. We initially meet to discuss ideas.
