Yes - Woking is inside our 30-mile coverage zone from Ash Vale and we work in GU21, GU22 every week.

How quickly can you quote a garden design in Woking?

Most Woking 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 Woking 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 Woking?

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 Woking Borough Council?

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

Garden Design shaped around how Woking homes are built

A well specified garden design is a recurring reason people contact us from GU21. The surrounding housing and ground conditions matter: Woking's housing falls into two clear groups: dense modern apartments and townhouses near the station (driveways rarely apply) and large family estates further out around Goldsworth Park, Knaphill and Horsell where front-garden parking and full back-garden refits are common. For this service, that leads us to check south-facing patios that need shade structures and reflective planting to be usable in July before recommending a finish or construction method.

A family-and-pet brief that keeps mud, mowing and storage all working, relevant garden design detail for GU21 properties near Horsell

Woking constraints worth pricing properly

Woking 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 GU21, GU22 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a garden design - the shaded plots beside mature pines where the planting palette decides whether the lawn survives 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.

“Steven and team levelled our drive from landscaped crazy paving and got rid of truckload of stones and topsoil. We asked to put levelled sub base down ready for patio after finishing with building work. All work was done nicely and would have him back in the future.”

FAQs - Garden Design in Woking

What should I send before a GU21 site visit?: A wide photo, approximate dimensions, access width and a note about the intended use are enough to make the first conversation useful.
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 Woking?: The first local issue we check is south-facing patios that need shade structures and reflective planting to be usable in July. We also look at access, levels and whether Woking Borough Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
Can you cover Horsell as part of the same local run?: Yes. Horsell sits within our normal Woking working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.

A useful next step

If your property sits towards Horsell or elsewhere in GU21, send a photo and rough dimensions first. We can usually identify the decisions that need an on-site check before arranging the visit. This recommendation is scoped to Woking garden design enquiries.
