Why do I need a garden designer?
Any size of garden can benefit from being professionally designed. For example, a carefully-considered design can maximize the use of a small space. Equally, a larger plot may gain from zoning into separately-defined areas of use: sunny patios, shady seating, child play areas, borders or productive areas. Very large properties may need several distinct gardens with different characters, sympathetically linked to the buildings, each other, and the extended environment.
You may have an old garden which needs renovating, or one that no longer suits your present lifestyle, or have a development which needs to attract buyers by having “kerb appeal”; your nursing home may be more attractive if it offers residents beautiful places to sit, or even work in; your school may wish to encourage an interest in healthy eating, or the environment, by developing neglected plots; an attractive pub or restaurant garden can be an incentive for customers; many people these days like grow their own fruit and vegetables, and this can be included in the brief. A designer working closely with a client can help focus on what is really required, and produce a plan tailored to the owner’s ideals. Remember, also, a well-designed garden can add value:
“A well-tended vegetable garden can certainly add to the asking price of your property,’ says Cate Dodkin, from estage agent Foxtons. 'It can also widen the market for your home.' ” Mail Online 16/4/09 “A garden turns a house into a home and significantly adds to the value” New Homes Garden Awards 2009
“A beautiful garden in front of the home not only makes your home look beautiful but also freshens up your life and increases the value of your property considerably” PropertyDevelopmentNews.co.uk 31/1/09
“Will the pub have a garden or outside seating facility? This can be a big draw in warm weather”. www.alliance-leicestercommercialbank.co.uk
“An attractive front garden can significantly increase the value of your home” Birmingham Post 22/3/08 “’No doubt’ that gardens add value to property” Houseladder.co.uk 30/4/08 “A well-designed outdoor space really boosts a property’s desirability...boosts the value of the property” UK Property News 20/6/07 “Gardens really add to a property’s appeal” Propertyfinder.com 15/5/07 “New research has revealed that millions of Brits are adding value to their property by carrying out garden makeovers.” Whatmortgage.co.uk 20/4/06 “On average UK homeowners can add as much as £16,000 to their property value simply by taking a few easy steps to improve their garden”.
