Thinking about designing gardens rather than only mowing them? You cover drafting, construction, surfacings, paving and plant choice. It ends with a full landscape plan of your own.
The last units build a landscape plan end to end.
Paving and walls sit beside trees and ground covers.
Slopes and difficult sites get their own unit.
Design work sits across firms, garden centres and your own client list. The day is site visits, drawing, plant choice and managing the build.
Draw and specify the garden.
Advise clients on their own ground.
Quote, plan and run the jobs.
Guide customers on plants and design.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every job is different, and construction work can need a licence, tickets or years on site.

Designing so the garden survives its owner.
