I'm moving into a new house with a huge garden and I'm feeling a bit lost about how to design it. I'm thinking about adding a pond, a bar or summer house, and an allotment area, but I can't visualize how everything will come together. Do landscapers offer services where they come to your space and create a design template for you to follow?

You're right on track with wanting a garden designer! They usually design it and then you can choose who installs it. If you’re not planning to spend much on professional landscaping, it’s definitely a good idea to get a pro to design a layout that inspires you and guides your own work. Plus, starting with some sketches will help focus your ideas!
Absolutely, you can hire a garden designer just for the plan itself or for both the design and installation. It sounds like that's exactly what you need – someone who can sketch out a plan to give you a clear idea of how to move forward with your garden.
Yes, many landscapers do offer garden design services! Some specialize in the non-living elements, like patios and fences, but you'll find that a lot actually can help with your vision too. It’s worth reaching out to see what they can offer.
That's really encouraging! I just want something that looks good and functions well too, thanks for confirming that.
