Garden Design

Garden design that works back from how you'll actually use the space - rather than a polished drawing that nobody can afford to build. Sketch plans, planting schemes and a fixed-quote build, all under one roof.

Garden Design project by Knightscapes

What's included

  • Free on-site design conversation and brief
  • Hand-sketched concept plans with measured levels
  • Planting palettes matched to aspect, soil and maintenance time
  • Lighting and power layouts ready for the electrician
  • Material samples brought to site for porcelain, stone and timber
  • Phased plans where the budget is split across two years

Our process

  1. 01

    Brief

    On-site visit - how you use it, what you hate, what you want to keep.

  2. 02

    Sketch

    Hand-drawn concept with levels, zones and circulation marked up.

  3. 03

    Spec

    Material palette, planting list and lighting points agreed.

  4. 04

    Quote

    Fixed, stage-broken quote for the build.

  5. 05

    Build

    Same designer stays involved through the build for continuity.

What to expect on a garden design

Typical timeline

2-3 weeks design, then 2-6 weeks build

Most domestic garden design projects complete in this window.

Indicative pricing

Design-and-build projects typically land between £8,000 and £45,000+ depending on size, hard landscaping and planting scope.

Why us

30+ years on the tools across Surrey & Hampshire. Family-run, fully insured, no subcontracted crews.

Local factors we plan around

  • narrow Fleet and Aldershot rear gardens where every metre of zoning has to earn its keep
  • shaded plots beside mature pines where the planting palette decides whether the lawn survives
  • south-facing patios that need shade structures and reflective planting to be usable in July
  • north-facing extensions where light-coloured porcelain and pale planting lift the back wall

Frequently asked questions

Do you charge for the design?
The initial on-site brief and sketch is free as part of any build quote. Stand-alone design packages with full drawings start from £450.
Do I have to use you to build it?
No - if you take the design elsewhere we ask for a £450 design fee. Most customers build with us.
How detailed are the drawings?
Concept-and-spec level - dimensioned plan, material palette, planting list and lighting points. We don't do RIBA-stage technical drawings; for listed or planning-led schemes we'll point you to a chartered designer.
How long does the design stage take?
Typically 2-3 weeks from the on-site visit to the final sketch and fixed quote.
