Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is garden design and why is it important?
Garden design is the process of planning the layout, planting scheme, and features of your outdoor space. A well-designed garden enhances the beauty, function, and value of your property while aligning with your lifestyle.
Do you offer garden design and build as one package?
Yes, we provide a full end-to-end service — from initial concept and design to complete garden construction and planting.
How does the garden design process work?
We start with a consultation to understand your vision and needs. Then we create a tailored design, suggest materials and planting options, and once approved, we begin the build phase.
How long does a typical garden project take?
Timelines vary depending on the scope. Small projects may take 1–2 weeks, while large or complex garden builds may take 4–8 weeks or longer. We’ll provide a clear schedule during the planning phase.
Can work continue during bad weather?
We aim to work efficiently year-round, but extreme weather may occasionally cause delays. We always communicate transparently about any impact on your schedule.
How much does a garden design project cost?
Pricing varies depending on size, materials, and features. We offer clear, itemised quotes and work with a range of budgets to deliver high-quality results.
Can I make changes once the project has started?
Yes, though changes may affect cost or timelines. We’ll always discuss options and get approval before proceeding with variations.
What materials do you use in your builds?
We use only high-quality, durable materials — including natural stone, timber, porcelain, and composite decking. We also source from trusted UK suppliers focused on sustainability.
Do you offer eco-friendly garden solutions?
Absolutely. We offer drought-tolerant planting, permeable paving, wildlife-friendly features, and sustainable material options.
Will I need to maintain my new garden?
Yes, like any outdoor space, gardens need care. We design with low-maintenance options in mind, and can also recommend maintenance packages if needed.
Do you offer planting and aftercare guidance?
Yes, we provide advice on how to care for your plants, lawn, and garden features, including seasonal maintenance tips.
Do I need planning permission for my garden project?
Most garden projects don’t require planning permission. However, larger structures like outbuildings, fencing over certain heights, or listed property works may need approval. We’ll guide you through the process if required.
Can you work around existing trees or features?
Yes, we can design around and incorporate existing trees, levels, or architectural features to preserve your garden’s character.
Which areas do you serve?
We are based in Surrey and serve surrounding areas including Redhill, Reigate, Banstead, Caterham, Dorking, and beyond.
