Do you cover Tilford?

Yes - Tilford is inside our 30-mile coverage zone from Ash Vale and we work in GU10 every week.

How quickly can you quote a garden design in Tilford?

Most Tilford enquiries get a free site visit within five working days and a written quote within a week of that visit.

How long does a garden design take?

Allow 2-3 weeks design, then 2-6 weeks build on a typical Tilford property. Sloping plots, restricted access or larger formats add to that and we'll flag it on the quote.

What does a garden design cost in Tilford?

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

Do I need permission from Waverley Borough Council?

For most garden design work, no - but anything affecting the public highway (dropped kerbs) or a conservation frontage goes through Waverley Borough Council. We'll tell you on the visit which forms apply.

The useful local starting points are Waverley Borough Council, access via B3001, A287 within 1 mile, Farnham station within 4 miles., and north-facing extensions where light-coloured porcelain and pale planting lift the back wall. Those details change the method, programme and final quote.

A small back garden zoned into patio, lawn and a screened utility run, relevant garden design detail for GU10 properties near Rowledge

The local brief behind the build

Tilford is inside our 30-mile core area, so site visits are arranged within a week and project supervision is daily, not weekly.
We've spent enough time on GU10 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a garden design - the south-facing patios that need shade structures and reflective planting to be usable in July that gets missed when a national firm quotes from a desk.
Quotes are written, fixed and broken down by stage, with the same crew on site from day one through to clean-down.

FAQs - Garden Design in Tilford

How is the quote made specific to this property?: It records excavation or foundation assumptions, materials, disposal, access, programme and exclusions. The allowance is based on the measured site rather than copied from another town.
What changes the specification around Tilford?: The first local issue we check is north-facing extensions where light-coloured porcelain and pale planting lift the back wall. We also look at access, levels and whether Waverley Borough Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
Can you cover Rowledge as part of the same local run?: Yes. Rowledge sits within our normal Tilford working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.
What should I send before a GU10 site visit?: A wide photo, approximate dimensions, access width and a note about the intended use are enough to make the first conversation useful.

Turn the idea into a measured scope

A durable garden design in this area begins with the unglamorous details: access, ground, drainage and permissions. We record those first, then price the visible finish around them. This recommendation is scoped to Tilford garden design enquiries.
