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.

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
- 01
Brief
On-site visit - how you use it, what you hate, what you want to keep.
- 02
Sketch
Hand-drawn concept with levels, zones and circulation marked up.
- 03
Spec
Material palette, planting list and lighting points agreed.
- 04
Quote
Fixed, stage-broken quote for the build.
- 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.
