Understanding the garden in Detail

Topographical surveys offer accurate information regarding your sites slopes, elevations, contours, and natural features. Our surveys include existing vegetation, trees, and bodies of water. This helps landscapers understand the characteristics of the garden, along with its limitations. This is valuable to the planning and design process, enabling them to work with existing features, adapting designs to blend in seamlessly with the natural environment.

Drainage

Drainage plays an important role in designing the perfect landscape for your property. Our topographical surveys will identify slopes, drainage issues, along with areas that are eroding, or may be prone to eroding. Landscapers can use this information to create plans to ensure water flow, reduce the risk of flooding, while reducing the risk of erosion.

Topographical surveys provide you with information regarding any existing paths, access points, and patterns within your garden. This information provides landscapers with the ability to design the best pedestrian and vehicle movements, helping them plan walkways, accessible routes, roadways, and more.
