1. Design Meeting & Site Visit
Following an initial call to discuss your project we will meet with you at your property and talk youthrough the light landscaper process:
- ask detailed questions about your plans, how you would like to use the garden/exterior space and discuss any structures or features you would like to highlight
- confirm your lighting requirements, identify technical considerations or specific planning conditions and demonstrate some product options
- consider local planning authority specifications and requirements for exterior lighting as part of an Ecology Survey report or planning application to preserve an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) or Dark Skies reserve
- agree your budget and what is, and isn’t, included in the project and produce a statement of understanding (the Design Brief) and a cost estimate for the design phase
