Often the difference between the ordinary and the outstanding garden lies in relatively minor design detail. A focal point such as a statue, or water feature.

In turn creating an ideal garden, functionality, and enjoying your outdoor living space. Taking time to study your landscape site or property and analyse the basic features found there. Therefore think of it as a design brief of your property, listing its assets and liabilities by area.

SITE ANALYSIS

Taking time to study your landscape site or property and analyse the basic features found there. Therefore think of it as a design brief of your property, listing its assets and liabilities by area.

As well as environmental factors that may affect a final design (i.e. sun angle, wind direction, pleasant views, and unpleasant views). Splinter-landscapes | services, surveys & make-overs. A site analysis helps us design beautiful gardens and understand unique problems, associated with your property, and how they can be best used.

Drawing Plans

The site analysis, survey & soft landscapes plan helps us understand unique problems associated with the property and how they can be best used to create a functional and enjoyable outdoor living space.

Placing some tracing paper over the site analysis plan that was created in the previous step. We can then use this tracing sheet for your site analysis & survey drawings. Incorporate your assets and liabilities list to visually identify the areas being described.

Drawing the garden design plans is like a road map of your property as it relates to the seasons. When done, creating plans for layout and planting of gardens and landscapes. This will show the direction and angle of the sun throughout the year, interesting views of the house's exterior, as well as views from inside the house. It also considers views you have of your neighbors as well as what your neighbors can or can not see of you.

The Site Analysis includes prevailing wind directions across the property and notes if those winds are sufficiently strong enough that they may need to be diverted in some way to add comfort to your outdoor living areas.

In other words, a landscape designer should include important items that should be addressed in the creation & planning of the garden design. For example, if you do not want nosy neighbors looking at you when you sunbathe in the backyard, then maybe privacy plantings may be in order. If there is an unpleasant view of a parking lot to one side, then ways of hiding that should be considered. Likewise, if you have a view of the lake but can only see it in the winter when the leaves have dropped off, you probably would not want to include tall evergreens that would block the view permanently in a few years.

The garden design process looks at these issues and makes note of them, it doesn't address how to deal with them at this point...

Creating an ideal garden - planning and planting a garden

Even with limited outdoor space, and basic gardening skills. You can still transform your patio or lawn, into a relaxing gardening retreat with a few simple design tricks. Both for hard landscaping or soft landscapes design.

Every garden is an expression of the owners' creativity and, within the limitations of its size; their imagination can be given free rein. There are no hard and fast rules for 'correct' design. And no two gardens will ever be alike.

Often the difference between the ordinary and the outstanding garden lies in a relatively minor design detail. A focal point such as a statue, or water feature, draws the eye, or gently reflections in a peaceful pool.

A carefully positioned path, or simply a corner of peace and tranquility separated from the rest of the garden and complemented with suitable plants.

We also provide our customers with a full - creative planting service. The aim is to create a harmonious border by marrying good structure with a contrast of color and texture in flower and foliage. Flowers are what you think of, but a border should look good when not in flower and foliage. Plants with good form and foliage need to be planned first.
