Employing a professional garden designer has many benefits:
A well-designed and correctly installed garden has a long term investment for your property and can add as much as 15% on the overall asking price.
An experienced designer will have a wealth of accrued knowledge on materials, construction methods as well as great site-specific horticultural knowledge.
An imaginative but realistic designer will be able to take your brief and translate it into the garden you desire, on budget.
A thoughtful, creative design will enhance your well-being and enjoyment of your home, for you and your family.
1. Garden Design and Consultation
Tabitha Tarling Garden Design offers a full design consultation service.
This can include site analysis, presentation drawings and image boards, construction drawings where necessary, lighting plans, planting plans, specification and tender documents. If required, I can also provide 3D sketches of any garden proposal.
2. Project Management
Selecting the right contractor for the job is hugely important in order to get the garden you want. I use local, experienced professional landscaping companies both in the south-west and in London
I can provide complete project management to ensure the build comes in on time and on budget, with complete client confidence.
3. Planting Design
I can provide either a full planting plan or help re-invigorate a border with a few well-chosen plants.
I provide detailed full colour image boards of all proposed plants, with a brief description and basic care guide. I will also source and quote for all plants.
I also offer a full planting service, with delivery of all plants to site, as well as any after-care for your garden as required

4. Design Fees
I tailor my fees to clients’ needs, budget and the size of the garden and how much design input is required. I’m happy to give a fee estimate after an initial meeting on site.
An initial meeting for a full design service within central Bristol costs £30 and this is refundable against a project going ahead.
Please contact me for more details and we can chat through your requirements.

I also offer one off consultations, should you not require a full design service. These are charged hourly at a cost of £40 within Bristol.
I usually ask for some photos of the garden, together with a brief outline of what you are looking to achieve, to help me give you the most from our on-site meeting.
I can help with design ideas and horticultural advice for tricky areas, or come up with solutions you may not have thought about.
