A full flora inventory, marking the
positions of existing plants and trees that you wish to
keep. |

position of underground or overhead pipes/cables. |
 |
Measurement of all structural items
including window heights, walls and fences, positions of

| The measured information is then used to draw
up a scale plan of the site, and this plan becomes the basis for all

future plans by seriously distorting the eventual layout and probably
inflating the cost of the garden unnecessarily. |
