"The outstanding results are a testament to her creativity"
"During the design phase, her proposals were invariably highly creative, well-articulated and with a healthy diversity of choice for us, her clients."
ANNIE MEIER
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT & GARDEN DESIGNER
Annie is an Artist (Annie Meier Art) and fully trained Landscape Architect with over 10 years of experience designing and creating a range of gardens in contrasting settings and a range of styles, based near Bath in Wiltshire. Planting is her passion, and as an artist she likes to use the planting palette to create vividly stunning swathes of bold and brilliant colour.
​
She has been involved in some incredible, often 'undisclosable' projects for very high end clients, creating magnificent planted borders. Recent work had included the re-wilding of a large and very remote estate in northwest Scotland and the full planting re-design for a substantial garden near Cirencester.
​
Annie lives in Corsham, Wiltshire and works on smaller locally, but travels nationally for larger projects.
​
APPROACH
Annie tailors her services to meet the requirements to meet the needs of you, 'The client,' from full garden re-design to alterations to a planted bed and helping with the planting design and sourcing.
​
​
"She was deeply engaged throughout this process, patient with our questions and applied the right amount of guidance throughout."
GARDEN DESIGN
A typical process to the garden design process works as follows:
Initial consultation by telephone - totally free of charge. Just get in touch to arrange.
​
Consultation on site (£80 charge at this stage which is deducted if you proceed) - Annie will visit your garden will discuss your 'brief' - in detail. This will include your needs and requirements, likes and dislikes, any garden plans you may already have and whether a full survey might be required by a specialist contractor.
If you are solely looking for planting design there will be consideration of maintenance, who uses the garden, desired planting styles, colours, and uses.
​
Site analysis / Survey - where a full site survey (by outside contractor) is not required Annie can either work with to-scale plans you may already have, or spend some time measuring out key features and dimensions within your garden. She will also consider aspect, topography, sunpath, soil and boundaries/restrictions.
​
Concept Design - following on from the initial discussions during the consultation and the determination of your requirements, Annie will put together a few initial ideas. This might include rough sketch ideas and concept images which give an idea of the overall feel and 'look book' for the garden.
​
Detailed Design - the following phase includes:
-
Drawing up a scaled plan of the whole garden or specific area under consideration
-
Considering the hard landscape materials to be used and their incorporation into a scaled plan as required
-
Landscape details required - paving build ups, step details, features including trees or structures.
-
Planting Design - compilation of a planting palette, schedules and a to-scale plan of the planting layout.
-
Sourcing - Annie source all the required materials and plants in accordance with the design plans produced.
-
Overseeing installation - Annie can help source appropriate landscape contractors and gardeners as required and can help oversee the process, including setting out of the hard landscape and garden.
