Garden design

A plan for the whole garden, drawn to scale and priced

From
£950
for a garden up to 200 m²
How long
3–4 weeks

Every garden we build starts as a drawing. Not because drawings are pretty (though Ines’s are), but because a plan is where the expensive mistakes get made cheaply: a terrace that catches no evening sun, steps too steep for a grandparent, a tree that will shade the vegetable bed in five years.

We start with how you want to use the garden, then look at what it already has: the light through the day, the soil, the levels, the views worth framing and the ones worth hiding. The plan comes back to scale, with every stone and every plant in it, so the quote that follows is a fixed price and not a guess.

What you get

A scaled garden plan, a planting plan that names every plant and how many, the lighting and drainage drawn in, and a fixed quote to build it. It’s yours to keep, whoever builds it.

How it goes

  1. Visit

    An hour in the garden with you: how you use it, the light, the soil, the views worth keeping.

  2. Survey

    We measure everything, take levels and note the trees, drains and services.

  3. First plan

    A scaled plan and a few sketches, talked through at the studio or at your kitchen table.

  4. Final plan and quote

    The plan with your changes, the planting plan and a fixed price to build it.

Questions

Do I have to use you to build it?

No. The plan is yours, drawn so any good landscaper can price and build it. Most clients do ask us, and the design visit fee comes off the build.

What if I only want planting?

Then a planting plan on its own, from £450 for a border. See Planting.
