Beware of plans that are too ambitious

Regrettably, many of the gardening design programmes on the television fail to give any indication of what the finished garden is going to cost. Often the costs incurred in creating these gardens probably exceed the value of the house. Bringing in heavy-duty cranes to lift boulders and gigantic concrete supports over the roof of a two-storey semi doesn't come cheap. Neither does the cost of hiring a specially adapted low loader to take stones the size of those at Stonehenge from a quarry in the north of the country all the way to London.

Costs like these are enormous.

Prior to undertaking any project you must ensure that alt the costs have been agreed and your client is aware of how much the whole thing is likely to cost.
