Based in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, Makin Garden Designs offer a wide variety of garden design and landscaping services. The garden is an increasingly important area of our homes. Due to today's stressful pace of life and the desire to improve the quality of our lives it is the garden which has become the sanctuary - a place in which to relax, play, tend and entertain. Makin Garden Designs is about creating this space which best meets your needs, lifestyle and budget. Whether you have a small town garden, a large country property or a commercial development, Makin Garden Designs offers a range of garden services including garden design by our qualified garden designer, consultation and advice, planting makeovers, designs for containers and hanging baskets, project management, maintenance schedules and planting services.
The use of natural materials in the garden such as timber can be used to create either a modern or traditional feel to the overall design. Wood is such a wonderfully versatile product and can be used as trellis work for screening areas of the garden off, creating peaceful pergola walkways through the garden, provide a support for scented climbers in a secluded seating area, or simply as a modern flooring instead of paving. However, should you wish to incorporate wood into your garden Makin Garden Designs will ensure that the design meets your needs and tastes.
It can be difficult to build a patio without it looking likes it's been "dropped" into the garden. We can design this area for you so that it flows with the rest of your garden. This service includes not only the design of the patio but which materials to use and any supporting features such as pergolas, water features and recommended planting around the area. All materials recommended are of a high quality and will look in keeping with the rest of your garden.
Water features come in many shapes, styles and sizes and everyone's tastes and needs are different. Some want to make a bold statement, others want a naturalistic pond, or some just want to hear the sound of running water without having all the maintenance of a large pond. Whatever your requirements at Makin Garden Designs we ensure that the design of the water feature will effectively meet these needs and enhance the overall design of your garden.
Our full garden design service involves an initial consultation visit where we discuss your requirements, design ideas, any site problems and budget. A full linear survey is then carried out and drawn up to scale and where applicable a soil sample may be taken for analysis. Before the final plans are drawn up, we have a meeting to discuss the sketch proposals as this provides you with the opportunity to amend anything in the design before it is finalised. The final plans are then presented to you.
