My aim as a designer is not to deliver a Jan Adams design but to listen to my client's wishes and requirements for their garden and then use my experience and expertise to bring the best out of a site to create a cohesive design. My clients are quite varied in their desires for their gardens. I work on projects that are very large or quite small, that are private or commercial, that are urban or rural and all receive the same attention to detail that is the key to good garden design.
My plant knowledge is extensive as I have been part of the team at Hopleys Plants, based in Much Hadham, Hertfordshire, for more years than I wish to remember! This is a connection which not only involves the hands on side of growing and propagating plants but also the design and creation of exhibits for the major flower shows with many gold medals to our credit.
This background means that my designs use plants that should flourish in their positions because soil, aspect, colour, architectural form and size at maturity have been taken into account.

Services
An informal meeting on site where we discuss your garden.
I make suggestions and listen to what you require from your outside space.
I charge a small consultation fee.
If you wish to proceed with the design the cost of this is included in the design fee.
I will tell you the design cost after our initial meeting, having had a chance to assess your garden and understand your requirements and aspirations.
I draw my plans by hand, preferably in a scale of 1:50 and present them complete with full construction details.

This is five years after completion.
We created a series of terraces each with a water feature, a stream through slate, rill through the brick oval and alpine area, finishing with a pond on the bottom terrace.
The top terrrace with a slate retaining wall, with slate steps leading up to this final level after planting.
