Avoiding Common Garden Design Mistakes

Our latest online article was compiled with the help of experienced landscapers and designers across social media. Nobody is perfect, but some mistakes are completely avoidable. Not only do they frustrate the landscapers trying to build a garden as specified, some of these mistakes infuriate clients and give the entire industry a bad name. I'm talking mainly about designing schemes that will cost way more than the client's build budget. It's the poor landscaper who gets accused of ripping people off when in fact the design was way too ambitious for the budget.

What other common garden design mistakes are touched upon in the article? Contracts, CDM (2015) regulations, unclear specifications....there's quite a list...

"After trying loads of safety specs the only ones I wear are husqvarna ones in clear or tinted. They have moveable arms so you can put them above ear defenders and still fit properly. About £10 but worth it "

"I'd go along with Ted Waldron - apart from I use a mesh full face - as I wear specs, it stops them misting. "

"I always use a full face screen, not mesh, as you never know where the dog has left you a present and it takes a long time to get the taste out of your mouth."
