No matter what the project, we are here to help. At Kirman Design, we offer an RHS gold medal winning garden design and landscaping service across the North West of England. Covering Manchester, Cheshire, Merseyside and Lancashire.
Our in-house design and build teams work closely with you from initial site visit to realisation. We have a range of services on offer from consultation advice and planting design, through to full garden design and build. We do NOT use external contractors to build our gardens. All our staff work for us.
This page details the main garden design and build service that we provide. However, we also offer bespoke services specifically tailored to your needs, with great attention to detail especially if you want something interesting, unusual or ‘personal’. Please contact us to find out more.
What we do
Concept creation
We will discuss your garden and your requirements alongside a site survey. We then draft a document that summarises the main design elements, topics of discussion from the site visit and more. A set of drawings and 3D elevations exploring various layouts and styles formed from your brief will follow, and we then meet again to go through the concepts and ideas with you to move forward with the design of your choosing.
Developing the design
Construction drawings and specification are created for our team to use during build. This includes construction detail, layout plans, and agreed specification. Design concept(s) are confirmed that detail a list of plants we intend to place into the final design. This includes information such as the overall planting style, leaf / flowering period and colour scheme etc. We also discuss material samples to finalise and document the materials, structures and finishes which will be featured in your final garden, including a lighting design layout if required.Â
Quoted estimate & contract
A final estimate and contract documents setting in place the construction stages of the design and build service is agreed. A pre-start letter is sent out a week or two before the day we begin with details summarising what to expect on site and other handy bits of information. On day one of the build the designer and landscape team manager will introduce you to the rest of the construction team.
Construction
Your garden is constructed with our experienced team of landscapers. We manage the entire project including health and safety, time management, job evaluation meetings, variations / additions to work and snagging etc. Once construction is complete, you sign off the work once you are completely happy with everything we have done.
Aftercare
We leave you with a bespoke booklet created for you that provides information on how to look after the plants and materials within your newly constructed garden. We also provide drawings related to pipework and electrical wires below the surface to keep with the house, for you and for after the house is sold.
