What is a concept sketch?
A. A concept sketch is just a rough idea of how the garden could work, then these ideas, once agreed, are developed into a set of plans. Compare it to humming a tune and then writing a musical score for an orchestra. All the elements need to work in harmony with each other. For example:- structural details for the built elements; style; plant choices and availability; lighting requirements; outdoor furnishings; use of space; restrictions or advantages of the site; the facilities required; financial issues and so on. Developing the plans in detail will maximise the potential of your garden area. Its just as important as making the rooms inside the house, work in the most effective way. Also, the concept sketch is just that, conceptual. It is not possible to scale exact areas from this drawing. It does work on its own, however, if all you are looking for, is a burst of inspiration and know-how to set you on your own path.
