The consultation carries a fee

A first visit with a price and a length on it, booked off your page. It quietly sees off the callers who wanted a free word about a hedge.

Smart scheduling

Drawing days are diary days

Studio time sits beside the site visits on the same calendar, so the fortnight held for a planting plan does not get booked over.

Charge for the first hour, not the last one.

A designer is paid for thinking, and the thinking starts the moment you walk through the gate. So the consultation goes on the page as an ordinary service with a fee and a length on it.

  • Priced before they book it

    The fee sits on the page next to how long you will be there, so nobody is startled to find that an hour of your advice has an invoice behind it.

  • Into a slot you actually have

    They pick from the visits you have left this season, rather than filling in a form that promises a call you then have to make.

  • Everything after it hangs off that job

    The survey photos, the concept, the fee proposal and the planting schedule all land on the same record, so a garden has one story rather than four.

Booked up until the autumn.

Design work runs months ahead. When nothing is left this season the page says so, and it takes the enquiry all the same.

  • It arrives as a thread

    Address, brief and a few photographs of the site in one place, so the drive can be weighed up before anyone lifts a phone.

  • Answered once, from the job

    Replies sit on the record rather than in your texts. What you said in March is still there when they come back in September.

  • Slotted in when one frees

    A cancelled consultation is a gap you fill from the same screen, and the confirmation rather sees itself out.

We have just taken the fences down and have no idea what to do with any of it. Is there anything left before the planting season?

Built for your trade

Built for the gardens you are actually asked to draw

One-off rural house

A bare site with a long boundary and a good deal of wind. The measure-up is a paid half day, and the concept is what is being bought.

Planning permission drawings

The landscape drawing the application asks for, quoted on its own line so it reads as a document with a deadline, not as a garden.

Native hedgerow and shelter

Whitethorn, hazel and holly in the right proportions and the right spacing. The species schedule is the deliverable and is priced as one.

Wet clay and standing water

Where the water goes and what will tolerate it. That answer takes a morning on site, so the morning is booked and charged.

Sheltered walled courtyard

A small space with a long plant list. Quoted at a flat fee, because the footprint has little to do with the hours it takes to draw.

Old orchard brought back

What stays, what goes and what is underplanted. Two visits and a set of drawings, held on one job so the photographs stay together.

Coastal garden in the wind

Salt and gales cut the plant list to what genuinely survives. That list is the value, so it is quoted as the thing delivered.

Stone walls and levels

Steps, terraces and retaining set out to scale, so the contractor prices off your paper rather than off a conversation at the gate.

Visits during the build

Each check while a contractor works to the drawings is its own booking, so the time on site is invoiced rather than absorbed.

A job that lives in stages, not in a morning.

Visited in March, concept in April, the full set in June, planting in the autumn. The stage a design is in tells you far more than the hour it started.

Which fee proposals were opened, and which went quiet.

A design fee sits on a phone next to two others for a fortnight. Seeing what has been read and what has been accepted makes the one worth a call obvious.

The garden remembers, four years later.

They ring back when the hedge has closed and they want the far end done. Your visit, your concept, the set you handed over and what they paid for it are all still on the record.

Drawing weeks are booked work, not spare time.

Studio days are the first thing a full diary eats. Block them like a site visit and the fortnight held for a planting plan stops being negotiable.

One garden, three depths of drawing.

A concept, the full set with a planting plan, or the set plus visits while a contractor builds it. Three tiers on one document.

  • A fee, not an hourly guess

    Concept, drawings and planting plan are separate lines, so a queried figure can be traced back to the piece of work behind it.

  • Three answers, one page

    Concept, full set, or the set with site visits. The client compares them without waiting on three separate emails from you.

  • Sent before you pull away

    The proposal goes from the phone at the gate, which tends to be before the client has got back inside.

  • Extras priced as options · Pro

    Pro sets the tiers side by side with one marked as recommended, and prices what a scheme picks up along the way: a lighting layout, an irrigation plan, another round of revisions. Ticking one moves the total.

Pro

Paid for the thinking, then the set.

The fee arrives in pieces, months apart. Cash and bank transfer recorded by hand cost nothing; cards come with Pro.

  • Cash and transfer are free

    Mark the consultation paid when the transfer lands. That costs nothing on any plan, and it will carry on costing nothing.

  • Cards come with Pro

    A card link for the consultation, and another when the drawings and the planting plan are handed over.

  • Stage the design fee

    Part at concept, the balance at the final set. Staged requests come with Pro and go out once the job is booked.

One app for the whole job

Everything you need to run your garden design business.

Scheduling

Consultations, the studio days behind them and the visits during a build sit on one board instead of on three separate lists.

Bookings

One record per garden, from the paid first visit through the concept to the day the drawings and the planting plan are handed over.

Online booking

Clients book the consultation off your page at the fee you have set. The scheme itself is quoted once you have walked the site.

Inbox

Mood boards, survey files and every message about that garden stay on the job rather than spread over email and a mobile.

Estimates

Quote as a practice charges: concept, detailed drawings and planting plan as their own lines with the fee sitting beneath them.

Customers

Contractors and architects come back with the next client. Their addresses, their gardens and every set you have drawn on one card.

Territories

Set how far you will travel for a consultation. A garden two counties away should not quietly book itself into a Tuesday morning.

Team

Add a second designer, a technician and whoever runs the studio, and give each of them exactly what they need and nothing more.

Payments

Cash and bank transfer recorded by hand are free on any plan. Card payments come with Pro, and the money stays yours.

Common questions.

You can, and there is nothing unusual about it. Set a fee and a duration, let the client pick a slot, and either take the card on Pro or record the bank transfer by hand for nothing.

No. There is no licence and the title is not protected. The Garden and Landscape Designers Association, formed in 1995, assesses full members who then use the letters MGLDA, and that is voluntary. Bookables neither checks nor shows it.

Yes. Named options on a single estimate, one marked as recommended, and the client decides how far the drawings should go before accepting. Tiered options come with Pro.

They open the link, read the tiers and type their full name. The time is stored against the job, and the accepted estimate turns into a booking with its lines already in place.

Quote that as its own line, so the client sees a document with a date on it rather than a garden. The date sits on the job beside the site photographs and the notes.

It generally is. Two hundred bookings a month are included and no card is needed, which is well ahead of what consultations, studio days and site visits will use.
