Our Fees:
Some larger projects may be quoted for individually, however our standard senior adviser rates are as follows:
For site visits:
A minimum fee of £60 (reduces to £50 if paid on occasion of the visit) for a ½ hour consultation; this is half the hourly rate. Occasionally this will be long enough to resolve a simple planting or design question but each case is different. Typically a blank canvas garden is likely to require a few hours work. Complicated larger projects may need several days especially if there is existing planting to be incorporated or moved, or if extensive surveying in necessary. Once we have a clear vision of what is needed, we can give an estimate of probable costs.
Non Design Tasks
Other work such as plant collection and delivery is chargeable from £15 /hr for labour only plus transport costs
Telephone Service & first contact price offer
For telephone, smartphones or skype based advice, we have a minimum pre-payable fee of £15 for the first contact up-to 15 minutes; this is 50% of the full hourly rate which will apply thereafter. NB the above prices are for intensive design work.
Where plants are being purchased from us, we offer a few minutes of free telephone advise.
Designer Travel Costs
Within a 15 mile radius of our design studio near Wallingford, we cover the travel costs (this range covers most of the areas of Oxford and Reading).Beyond this distance we make a charge of 50 pence per mile.
Payment Terms:
Payment is normally strictly within 14 days with interest thereafter charged at our bank's overdraft rate.
