Design - Huntingdon, England, United Kingdom
After over 10 years of designing gardens as landscape:evolution I decided to have a rebrand - I design gardens and my name is Ian Farbon so it seems pretty logical to simply design as Ian Farbon Garden Design. The enthusiasm remains the same - I've moved out of Cambridge and work from my studio in the village of Spaldwick, about half way between Huntingdon and Kimbolton. Much of my work centres around there - I still design anywhere in Cambridgeshire but I now find work coming in from Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire as well.I design all types of gardens - from contemporary urban courtyards to wide open rural landscapes. Budgets vary from project to project but generally start from £10,000 depending on the size and complexity of the project. I use a select number of landscape contractors and usually administer the project from concept to completion.I meet my clients to discuss the project and write a brief and fee proposal - the design involves several sketch options, one of which evolves into the Design Masterplan. The finished plan allows the contractors to put together a comprehensive quotation for the build. Then we build it!
