Garden design in London
For most of our garden landscaping projects in London, where you have a good idea of what you want your garden to look like, you may not need our garden design service. Our project managers are well qualified with many years experience of general landscaping - all of them having worked on typical London properties. However, if you're looking for a garden that is a little bit special, out of the ordinary and bespoke - then you need to speak to a garden designer.
Why do I need a garden designer?
Employing a professional garden designer has many benefits:
Looking for inspiration? New ideas? A professional garden designer will be able to give you some fresh ideas and a professional perspective on what can be achieved in your outdoor space and for your budget.
Strong ideas of your own? A professional garden designer will have the experience and knowledge to translate your brief into a real, functioning garden.
Need ideas for what plants to buy? Your garden designer is a trained horticulturist. They will have the experience and knowledge to choose and place beautiful combinations of plants and flowers to suit the space.
Need help with materials? - Your garden designer will have an in-depth knowledge of landscaping materials, such as paving, timber decking and stone - what suits the space and weathers well.
The initial consultation
In the first instance our garden designer will arrange a visit at a time when there is enough light to view your garden. We will discuss your requirements for the garden, your tastes and establish your budget. We design gardens of all types, from minimalist to intricate English gardens with complex planting arrangements. |

Site survey
Once we have agreed a proposal of work, we return for a second meeting to survey the site. This is to measure the area to create accurate scale plans. We also take photographs and assess the site for soil conditions and drainage. We'll further discuss and refine the proposal, keeping features of the current garden or removing as neccessary. |
 |
The concept plan
We then create a concept plan. This is a basic design, incorporating the ideas that we have discussed and identified as important. It provides both parties with a good good idea of how the design will fit the space. |
 |
The final layout plan
Finally a detailed plan is put together. Every structural aspect of the design is included and the plan is drawn to scale. The plan is a detailed technical document that enables any landscaping contractor to construct the garden precisely to the specifications discussed. It includes specifications on materials, plants and dimensions. A 3D plan of the garden can be presented at this stage, should you require it. |

Construction of the garden
Of course, we have a landscaping department. And we're very confident of their abilities. But you may have already selected a suitable contractor for this project. In that case we can consult with them and arrange regular site visits to ensure that the project is running smoothly.

How much does a garden designer cost?
If you don't need a plan for the garden or drawings, but would like some design advice, then you can book a consultation visit. Consultation visits are charged at �175 + VAT.
Of course, every garden design is different and every client has different requirements. To give you a rough idea of pricing, the cost of a concept plan ranges from �500 to �3000. For the full design service, the costs are around 12% of the total amount spent on the landscaping project.
How much does it cost to landscape a garden?
People are often surprised at how much it costs to have a garden professionally landscaped. Remember you are employing several skilled trades people for a peroid of up to a month and using expensive materials such as hard wood and stone. A well-designed, Landscaped garden is an investment and will add to the value of your property. As a general rule, professional landscaping costs around �100 per m2 (plus VAT) for materials and labour.
