I therefore have a vested interest in this debate and would love all contractors to use cad drawings, but they are not always necessary. Some jobs don't require a professional cad drawing whereas others couldn't begin on site without one.</p><p>Cad drawings can help explain your ideas without having to spend hours and hours drawing up and colouring in your designs. Think of a cad drawing as a halfway house between a basic sketch and a full design.....except without the full design price tag!</p><p>Check out some of my drawings to see just what i mean and if you'd like to discuss them further feel free to comment on this discussion!</p><p>Sample cad drawings.....<br/> <a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314203681?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314203681?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-center"/></a></p><p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314207254?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314207254?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-center"/></a></p><p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314207342?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314207342?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-center"/></a></p></div>Hand drawn vs CADhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profiles/blogs/hand-drawn-vs-cad2012-12-21T10:03:27.000Z2012-12-21T10:03:27.000ZRose Lennardhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/RoseLennard<div><p>There is much debate in the garden design world about computer aided design (CAD) versus hand drawn, and personally I think both have their merits. I use Sketchup to create virtual reality 3D models which allow me to really understand the levels, volumes and spaces of a garden, meaning that my designs are thoroughly thought through, and there are no surprises when the scheme is built.</p><p><img width="400" class="align-right" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314164607?profile=RESIZE_480x480" width="400"/>But recently I reverted to drawing up a masterplan by hand (usually I use a computer generated base plan and just add some hand drawn embellishment to add interest and make it easier to read). <br/> I was surprised to rediscover the delight of drawing by hand, relishing the richness of the 'mark making' compared to a uniform printed line. The drawing is still accurate, but I feel it conveys more of the character of the design. Unfortunately it is more time consuming, so will not be the norm, but drawing up this masterplan by hand has reconnected me to the pleasure of drawing, and I am feeling fired up with ideas for other creative activities as a result. In previous years I did a lot of life drawing and I always felt that this fed into my garden design work - it helped me to really look, and to appreciate shape, form, line, texture, colour. I think there is a real danger that over-reliance on CAD drawing can impoverish design, and I will always make a point of hand drawing alongside my CAD work in order to retain that more fluid and sensitive response to the site.</p><p> </p><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.chameleongardens.co.uk">www.chameleongardens.co.uk</a></p></div>LONDON GARDEN DESIGNhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profiles/blogs/london-garden-design2011-11-15T16:00:00.000Z2011-11-15T16:00:00.000ZLondon Garden Designhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/LondonGardenDesign<div><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" class="font-size-3"><b><span class="font-size-6"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.londongardendesign.info/" target="_blank">London Garden Design</a></span> is a working collaboration between established garden designer David Beasley (a design and build company) and experienced garden builder Clive Dearden (The Handmade Garden Company) who (with over 50 years combined experience in the industry) have a goal of offering private domestic customers/commercial clients (in London, The South East and Home Counties) the best, most affordable Garden/Landscape Design And Build service on the market!</b></span></p><p> </p><p style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" class="font-size-3">Please explore their <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.londongardendesign.info/" target="_blank">website</a> and follow the links to their joint <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/London-Garden-Design/309738212375011">Social Media</a> pages to familiarise yourself with the work of David and Clive and the many ways in which they can enable a professional transformation of your garden/outside space.</span></p><p style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" class="font-size-3">Please contact Clive on <span class="font-size-6" style="color: #ff0000;">020 3371 9837</span> for a free chat to discuss your requirements and receive further details on the services he and David can offer you.</span></p><p style="font-weight: bold;"><iframe width="640" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/TiSqWo_AxLc?rel=0&hd=1&wmode=opaque" frameborder="0"></iframe></p><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.londongardendesign.info/" target="_blank"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="3" style="font-weight: 800;">www.londongardendesign.info</font></a></p><p> </p><p> </p></div>Vectorworks Training Competition - win a day of traininghttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profiles/blogs/vectorworks-training2011-02-16T11:00:00.000Z2011-02-16T11:00:00.000ZPhil Voicehttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/philvoice<div><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314197557?profile=original"><img class="align-right" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314197557?profile=original" width="268" /></a><br />
<p>Vectorworks Landmark, is the CAD software of choice for Landscape and Garden Designers, with tools for surveying, site analysis, designing hard landscaping and planting, contour modelling, rendering and much, much more.<br />
<br />
The Vectorworks Training team, headed by, <strong><a href="http://www.landscapejuicenetwork.com/profile/TamsinSlatter" target="_blank">Tamsin Slatter</a></strong>, specialises in delivering high quality training and expertise to the landscape design world. All their trainers are qualified designers and use this expertise to help clients build a business process around this powerful software.<br />
They offer a range of courses, from beginner through to the more advanced 3D site modelling skills.<br />
<br />
<strong>Landscape Juice</strong> has teamed up with Vectorworks Training to offer this competition to LJN members to win a free place on one of our one day public courses. The competition ends at midnight on <strong>Friday 04 March 2011.</strong><br />
<br />
The winner will be entitled to one free day of training, at their training suite in Newbury, Berkshire. The course must be selected from our current training schedule (subject to availability) and must be taken before the end of June 2011. Courses run from 9:30 am to 16:30 and include a light lunch.<br />
<br />
<strong>Our current schedule includes:</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Vectorworks Foundation</strong><br />
Aimed very much at those totally new to the software, you will learn how to set up your “drawing board”, and learn how to use the basic drawing functions, to get yourself ready to make the most of the landscape specific features.<br />
<strong><br />
Vectorworks Landmark</strong><br />
For those who have mastered basic drawing skills, but would like to explore the more industry-focused tools within Landmark, we look at surveys, hard landscaping and planting plans.<br />
<br />
<strong>Move to 3D</strong><br />
So, you can draw 2D plans, and have made use of the built-in Landmark features, but want to extend your knowledge of working in a 3D environment so that you can model more bespoke features.<br />
<br />
<strong>Rendering and Lighting with Renderworks</strong><br />
Learn how to add light sources to the model to create accurate sun and shade studies, apply textures, apply backgrounds and create perspective camera views. Learn how to combine textures, lighting and 3D Image Prop plants to create stunning effects.<br />
<br />
<strong>Site Modelling</strong><br />
Although this course does expect you to know your way around Vectorworks and have an understanding of the above, this course really is the icing on the cake! Learn how to plot heights from your own survey, or import information from your surveyor. We then create a model of the site, look at the site analysis possibilities and then learn how to adjust the site to suit your design, giving you a great visual for your client, contour plan for your contractor and those all-important cut and fill calculations.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">How to enter</span></strong><br />
<br />
The rules of this give-away are simple; just leave a comment in the box below for your chance to win a day of training with Vectorworks Training - please just one comment per person (multiply or non relevant comments will be discounted).<br />
<br />
The person chosen at random after the closing date will be the winner (draw will be made using <a href="http://www.random.org" target="_blank">random.org</a>)<br />

If this is the case then you have no doubt "found your man" in me, David Beasley (proprietor of a <b><a href="http://a-design-and-build.co.uk/" target="_blank">design and build company</a></b>) and I have reached my ideal customer!<br/><p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" class="noborder" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314146420?profile=original"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314146420?profile=original"/></a><br/></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br/></p><p style="text-align: left;"><font size="2">Unlike many of my competitors nationally, I have not recently moved into Garden Design because of my many years experience of amateur gardening, recent redundancy from my successful career in "The City" and subsequent study of a correspondence garden design course!</font><br/></p><font size="3"><span style="font-style: italic;"><br/><font size="2">"I have been involved in the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://a-design-and-build.co.uk/about/">Landscape Design And Construction Industry</a> since leaving school aged 16 in 1988. I have been trained by Landscape Architects to produce professional standard Landscape Design Drawings and gained (with Credit) my <a rel="nofollow" href="http://a-design-and-build.co.uk/about/qualifications/">HND</a> In Landscape And Horticultural Technology from Askham Bryan College in 1993."</font></span></font><br/><br/>I do not have any RHS winning Show Gardens to my name as I have never entered any! Anyway, such gardens are only produced to satisfy current horticultural trends and last 2-3 weeks whilst the gardens I design are timeless and designed to mature.<br/><br/>Rest assured, if you decide to commission (hire) me to design your "Outside Room",you have not hired a designer who is still "wet behind the ears" and does not know their trade and that of the other professionals who may be involved in your building/landscape project e.g. architects, builders, landscapers and electricians etc. I myself have worked in an architects office, have worked with builders on two large self-build / remodelling projects, have many years personal "hands on" landscaping experience and so know how these people work and can communicate effectively with them on your behalf.<br/><br/><p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" class="noborder" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314145290?profile=original"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314145290?profile=original"/></a></p><br/><br/>Also my past landscape experience has not been confined to the roles of "Designer" or "Landscape Craftsman". My Curriculum Vitae also includes the roles of "Landscape Estimator", "Landscape Supervisor", "Nursery Retail Assistant" and "Horticultural Officer" so I know a lot about contemporary landscape materials, where to get them from, how much they cost as well as construction / horticultural techniques, garden plants / products and Grounds Maintenance considerations.<br/><br/><p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" class="noborder" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314144872?profile=original"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314144872?profile=original"/></a></p><br/> <br/>Hand-drawn, inked-up, landscape plans may look impressive and beautiful to the Client, but they are also pretty inaccurate and take ages to produce (believe me, I have had 12 years experience of producing drawings this way!). These costs are in turn passed on to the Client and can eat into their Budget for their landscape scheme. Having advanced on from this old-fashioned method of design ten years ago, all my designs are produced using the latest, industry standard Computer Aided Draughting (CAD) software programs.<br/><br/><p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" class="noborder" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314145091?profile=original"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314145091?profile=original"/></a></p>This ensures that my designs are as accurate as can be from the start, the finished graphic output is uniform and I can do a lot of my printing "in-house" or electronically. Basic drawings start off as two dimensional (2D), black and white, annotated line drawings. These can subsequently be coloured-in/tinted electronically for presentation processes or imported in to three-dimensional (3D) CAD packages such as Google SketchUp for the production of Perspective Drawings, Virtual Reality Walk-throughs, Animations and Photo-realistic Renderings.<br/><br/><p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" class="noborder" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314143085?profile=original"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314143085?profile=original"/></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" class="noborder" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314141830?profile=original"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314141830?profile=original"/></a></p>Due to constant advances in technology and my competence in using these programs, I can produce my designs very quickly compared to more traditional methods and benefit you (the customer) in the way of fast "turnaround" of my work and lower Design Fees than the average designer. In coming months I aim to invest/train myself in other 3D/Illustrative Graphic Products to further enhance the Design Services I can offer.<br/> <br/><p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" class="noborder" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314144477?profile=original"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314144477?profile=original"/></a></p><br/><br/> Why do I need my garden designed by a professional you may ask? Well of course you can have a go at doing it yourself or just employ a "Landscaper" to come up with a scheme for you. I'm afraid if you haven't got the "eye" for design and detail, 9 out of 10 times, you / the landscaper will probably get it wrong and you will end up spending a lot of money on your garden only having to have it done again a few years later at even more expense.The money invested in having your garden designed by a professional like me (generally 10% of your budget) will save you a lot of money in the long-run and make your property more saleable if you should wish to move on.<br/><br/><p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" class="noborder" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314143362?profile=original"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314143362?profile=original"/></a></p><br/> <br/>If you employ a trained, qualified Landscape Design & Construction Specialist like myself at a design and build company, you will receive the following service:<br/><br/><ul><li><font size="2">I will visit your property / site for FREE (within 10 miles radius of HULL, East Yorkshire, UK - mileage charged beyond this radius) to meet with you for up to 1 hour. I will look at your site, listen to your "needs" and "wants" for your outside space and suggest some garden design ideas and show you my vast Portfolio Of Completed Projects (if requested).</font></li><li><font size="2">Within a couple of days, I will return you a detailed breakdown of my Design Fee with my Standard Terms And Conditions and a Contract Acceptance Form.</font><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314152927?profile=original">Standard Terms And Conditions.pdf</a></li><li><font size="2">Upon acceptance of my Estimate, I will arrange a date to visit site again to undertake a detailed Survey of the existing building exterior and surrounding outside space.</font></li><li><font size="2">During my survey I will take many measurements / photographs and record the positions of all existing garden features inc. hard landscaping, plants, out-buildings and services. I may also record existing site levels if the site's topography is particularly hilly. I will then take all this information and produce an accurate Base Plan of the existing garden using 2D CAD software and use this as a basis of my designs.</font><p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" class="noborder" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314116517?profile=original"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314116517?profile=original"/></a></p></li><li><font size="2">Within a couple of weeks, I will then visit your site again and present my Sketch / Concept Design for your perusal / acceptance. The drawings I present at this stage are usually one step way from being the final Presentation Plans that I submit to you. I do not mess about giving you alternate design options and producing inaccurate sketches etc., my designs are normally 90% right first time and usually exceed the Client's expectations. I will of course make minor alterations to the designs at this time if the Client wishes but this is normally not required / requested.</font></li><li><font size="2">Upon acceptance of these drawings, I will proceed to further enhance these drawings, annotating them with the information needed for a competent Landscape Contractor / Builder / D.I.Y.er to construct the proposed garden on-site as per my designs.</font></li><li><font size="2">At this stage, the Client can also opt to choose a design and build company for their professional Procurement and Project Management Services to aid a quality garden build.</font></li></ul><br/><p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" class="noborder" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3284615340?profile=original"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3284615340?profile=original"/></a></p><br/> All this mention of Design, but your trading name is a design and build company you may ask? Well, as mentioned previously in this Blog Post, I have worked for several other companies in the past as a Landscape Craftsman, whilst I have also been a keen "Gardener" in my "own time" for the last thirteen years. Since 2004, I have offered a complete Landscape Design And Build Service to customers in Hull and The East Riding as well as general Landscaping work. Unlike most designers I,therefore, have direct "hands on" experience of undertaking / overseeing the following operations in a commercial work environment:<br/><br/>* Site Clearance * Setting Out * Earthworks * Land Drainage * Wall and Retaining-wall Construction * Sub-base Preparation * Paving * Decking * Tarmacing * Gravelling * Fencing * Bespoke Steel Railings, Gates and Garden Structures * Garden Lighting * Water Features * Ground Preparation * Grass Seeding * Turfing * Planting *<br/><br/><p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" class="noborder" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314153626?profile=original"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314153626?profile=original"/></a></p><br/><br/> However, over the last couple of years I have had an influx of Design Only Projects and, even though I do love to "get my hands dirty", I have decided to withdraw my "Build" services and concentrate mainly on Commercial / Residential Landscape Design. I will, however, still consider and love to do "hands on" Soft Landscaping (i.e. turfing, planting and mulching) for my Clients as the vital finishing touch to my Design Service once the Hard-landscapers or Builders have done their stuff and moved off site.<br/><br/>Geographically, I have previously confined my work to Hull and The East Riding Of Yorkshire and primarily to Private Domestic Clients. Now as <a rel="nofollow" href="http://a-design-and-build.co.uk/">a design and build company</a>, I am capable to receive and invite Commissions from anywhere in the UK (and visit site if feasible) or globally via. remote working over the internet. Also, I previously "shied away" from Business-To-Business / Commercial Work, I now actively seek this too and offer a complete suite of services that may be of use to Architects, Planning Agents, Garden Designers, Landscapers and Garden Product Retailers. Please keep visiting <a rel="nofollow" href="http://a-design-and-build.co.uk/">my website</a> for further updates!<br/><br/><p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" class="noborder" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314150414?profile=original"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314150414?profile=original"/></a></p><br/><br/> Finally, please do not wait until Spring/Summer to <a href="http://a-design-and-build.co.uk/contact-us/">Contact Me</a> about any Landscape Design project (big or small) that you may have. During those times of the year I and my fellow Designers, Landscapers and Builders will be very busy and this may delay your Project being realised. Autumn and Winter is the ideal time to assess the design needs of your Outside Space as the leaves have fallen off the trees / shrubs and it easier to see a site in it's entirety. Also, most construction specialists are "freed up" at this time of year and may be able to quickly fit your project in to their schedules.<br/><br/><p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" class="noborder" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314148760?profile=original"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314148760?profile=original"/></a></p><br/><br/>As long as temperatures don't dip below 4 degrees centigrade and the rain keeps off, an awful lot of Landscape / Building work can still be done in Autumn and Winter. You also gain from the fact that plants can be bought cheaper and establish better during these months as does turf. Getting your Landscape Project designed and implemented on site over the Winter months ensures that you have a beautiful Outside Space to enjoy the following Spring and Summer.<br/> <br/>For further
