Earlier this year I created a design by working remotely with a family in Leicestershire. I haven’t done much of this as I wasn’t sure how I would get proper measurement of someone’s garden and get a really sense of it. I have to say though that it worked well within recognised limitations, and I was able to provide them with design and a scale plan and concept drawings. It worked by them sending me measurements and photos of their garden and talking with me over the phone a number of times, to clarify what they needed and some details of their current garden layout. It was a new-build garden and fairly small and I think it would be difficult with a larger garden, but its something I am happy to do more of and think that it means that people that like my work can use my services from further afield.
