"Hi Linsey.
I'm now a "design only" type after having been a "design & build" for around 10 years. The 2 items you picked (paving & decking) are pretty easy - though even these can have big ranges - e.g.…"

Jennifer Mitchell replied to Steve Rice's discussion Ergonomic mouse advice? in the group Garden Design Group"Hi Steve
I use drawing programs a lot! I use a book (A5, 25mm thick) as a mouse-mat (because I never got around to buying a mouse-mat) and I've found that I get less arm pain than I ever got before. This may be a coincidence, or it may be…"

- About your business
- I'm a retired garden designer living in a village in the New Forest National Park (Hampshire, UK). Before retiring I offered design services to domestic, commercial and community clients in the Hampshire, Dorset & Wiltshire area. My designs were imaginative, but also practical - I have 13 years experience as a designer-landscaper before concentrating on design work from 2009-2012. I also designed lighting as well as both hard & soft landscaping. The project may have been for the whole site, or for just part of it after building works, etc. I used Vectorworks and exploited this to create 3D visualisations or video walk-throughs to explore "what if" questions and to show my clients how the space would look before it was built.

Janine Pattison said… - Hi Steve, a second group would be great. I already have over 50 'yes' replies so getting the numbers won't be a problem. I've booked the 12.05 group, so if you could get the next one that could work out great for car share etc.
Let me know what you think
