Site survey, scaled 2D layout plans, mood boards and a clear materials palette so you can see and shape the whole garden before any ground is broken.
One garden, one team, one vision
Garden Design & Build
Full design-and-build — one team from first sketch to final planting.
Overview
Premium garden design & build, done the proper way
A truly great garden is designed as a whole — levels, sightlines, materials, planting and lighting all working together. Our design-and-build service means one team owns the entire journey, from the first concept sketch to the last plant in the ground, so nothing gets lost in translation between a designer and a separate contractor.
We start by understanding how you want to live in the space, produce a scaled plan and mood board, then build it with the same crew that drew it — on budget and to a standard you will be proud to show off.

Good to know
Garden Design & Build — your questions answered
The initial design consultation and quotation are free. If you want a detailed concept package — scaled plans, mood boards and a planting scheme — that is a modest fixed fee which we credit back against your build if you proceed with us.
Absolutely. We regularly build to plans from independent garden designers and architects, and we are happy to value-engineer details to keep a scheme on budget without losing its character.
Most complete gardens take three to eight weeks on site depending on scope, structures and access. We give you a stage-by-stage programme up front so you always know what is happening and when the garden will be finished.
