Has anyone paid a garden designer to do a proper re-design? I've just had a quote from someone (recommended by the new gardener) which has come in at nearly £3,000, plus £1,000 for a survey. Does this seem like a lot of money? They include four site visits, and break down the cost to about half for the back garden, and a quarter each for two small front gardens and a driveway plus side access on the other side.
It's not a massive garden but it's not small either. The back garden is about 22m by 22m, not sure about the front but two separate small areas. The cost for the design includes plans and a detailed planting plan and schedule.
I have no idea what we should expect to pay but this does seem like a lot to me. At their quoted hourly rate this works out at nearly 50 hours work.
Any advice gratefully received! Thanks.
