Garden Designer Consulting Fee

Pros of garden design.

Garden designer consulting fee. Designers test the soil for drainage acidity and nutrients during a site visit. As a landscape company should you charge potential customers a consultation fee. What s the difference between a garden designer and a landscape designer.

The designer can undertake the design and drawing work planning and surveys planting and managing construction as required. These plans can cost between 200 and 400. I ll also reveal how much i would charge for a consultation if i still had my design firm.

Payment by cash or internet banking at end of consultation. Besides the consultation fees some contractors charge extra to render the design into official landscape plan form. My aim is to be open about costs.

My colleagues will all work in different ways so do ask at the initial consultation how their fee structure works. Let s talk about when a consultation fee is appropriate who should charge a fee and how it impacts your company s positioning. This is where a full garden design plan is not needed.

Plans can take anywhere from a week to a month depending on the size and complexity of the project. This type of soil testing costs between 20 to 100 a cost commonly included in the consulting fees. Depending on the size of garden from small to large my fees range from around 450 1850 and all fees are given prior to undertaking any work.

Some garden designers charge by the hour. As an example a design drawing for a garden of 10 x 20 metres could be in the region of 600 750. Every project is different so it is difficult to be precise.
