Garden Design Brief Questionnaire

The quality of a garden design rests on the quality of the brief — the more a designer understands how you live, what you love and what you can’t stand, the better the garden fits you. This questionnaire draws all of that out in one place, so the design starts from a rich, honest brief rather than a vague “something nice”. It works through what a designer needs to design well: how the household uses the garden, the activities and features that matter, styles and plants you love and loathe, your appetite for maintenance, practical constraints — pets, children, privacy, slopes — and the budget. Answered properly, it saves rounds of revisions by getting the designer inside your head before a single line is drawn. Send it to a new design client before you start drawing. Free, brandable, and it turns a loose conversation into a thorough, designable brief.
