Surveys

For complex gardens with awkward layouts, levels, and for large gardens, we use Ian Humby Land Surveys to carry out a full garden survey.

For smaller easier gardens the survey will be carried out by us.

The survey will include the whole area to be designed.

• The building or buildings.
• DPC (damp proof course), windows, doors, lights, taps, flues, steps etc.
• Any existing features – trees, large shrubs, borders, ponds, terraces, boundaries, walls etc.
• Inspection chambers, rain water pipes, locations of services where possible, overhead cables etc.
• Relevant levels all around the garden and features, including a datum point, usually DPC. Invert levels of inspection chambers will be recorded where required, such as for the construction of swimming pools.

A copy of the survey from Ian Humby will be forwarded to the client by us or if paying Ian direct, he will send us a copy to work with. The payment of the survey carried out by Ian will become due 7 days after completion.

If we are carrying out the survey, it will be presented along with the outline proposals.
