The cost of our garden design service varies and depends on factors such as the size and complexity of your garden, your location, and your design brief. Our fees typically range from 8-12.5% of your landscaping project budget.

Our team of expert garden designers will collaborate with you to bring your vision to life and create a personalised design that meets your needs and budget.

From your initial call, we will provide you with an estimate of the cost of your project to give you a clear understanding of what to expect and help you decide if we are the right fit for your project.

We pride ourselves on offering high-quality end-to-end service, not only design.

If you’re interested in working with us, we’d be happy to provide you with a detailed quote for your project. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us for more information or to schedule a consultation.

Our design services cover a radius of up to 2.5 hours driving time from our design studio in Chichester, West Sussex. This allows us to visit you in person and provide the best possible service. Within this radius, we serve a large portion of Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, and Greater London, including many of their major cities and towns such as Brighton, Guildford, Southampton, Reading, Milton Keynes, Bournemouth, Salisbury, Oxford, and London.

If you’re located outside of this radius, don’t worry, we can still work with you remotely or through video conferencing. This is a great option for clients who are not able to visit our studio in person or who are located in a different time zone.

We also offer our design service for larger projects further afield or abroad, and can include travel times and costs accordingly. We have completed large and complex private and commercial gardens projects in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sydney and across Europe.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us to discuss your specific needs and how we can accommodate them. We’re here to help bring your vision to life. If you have any other questions please see our other FAQ page or if you’re ready to create your dream garden now, book a call with our team using the button at the top of the page.”

Yes, we offer end-to-end service for landscaping and design. We work with a network of carefully vetted and preferred landscapers, specialist tradespeople, contractors, and craftsmen to design and build your garden. These professionals are chosen specifically for your project based on factors such as timeframe, size, budget, and location. We have over 20 years of experience building relationships with these contractors, so you can trust that your garden is in good hands.

All of our contractors are well-experienced, fully vetted by us, and typically members of landscaping governing bodies. This ensures that they work to the highest standards and adhere to industry best practices. We provide oversight for the project with the chosen main contractor and a site inspection and consulting service to ensure that your garden is built according to the design, on time, and within budget.

We’re available to answer any questions you or the contractor may have and make minor design adjustments as needed. We understand that the process of creating a garden can be exciting, but also overwhelming, that’s why our team is available to guide you through the entire process.

The smallest project we design is typically around 50 square meters, but it can vary depending on the location, project budget, and specific design requirements. We have experience designing and constructing a variety of outdoor spaces including courtyard gardens, city gardens, and roof top gardens. However, we typically only take on projects with a landscaping budget of at least £30,000. If your budget is below this or quite tight, our advice is to use a good and experienced landscaper to carry out your project and save on design costs. Although, we can still advise on products and material palette choices from ranges that we can provide from our showroom.

We design projects of varying sizes, from small residential spaces starting at 50 square meters to large commercial properties spanning over 3 acres.

We have experience working on multi-phased projects, as well as designing private residencies, derivatives, and large corporate gardens and roof terraces for entertaining.

Yes, we can provide a design for you to arrange the landscaping yourself. However, we strongly advise against using your builder as landscaping is a highly skilled trade. Landscaping projects often require the use of multiple specialised contractors such as groundwork, soft landscapers, hard landscapers, electricians and specialists like pool and garden studio contractors.

We recommend using our end-to-end service as it eliminates the hassle and stress of arranging the project yourself. We have chosen and vetted contractors over the last 20 years who are the best in the industry and we can ensure the quality of the work.

Additionally, we have a materials and product showroom that offers a wide range of high-quality products. Even if you choose to physically landscape yourself, we can still provide you with many of the necessary materials and products.

The duration of a design project can vary greatly depending on factors such as location, size, project budget, project specifications, and complexity.

On average, a design project starts at 8 weeks, not including surveys, meeting times and site visits. Our schedule typically allows for 12-16 weeks for a design project, but this can change depending on the specifics of your project.

We typically allow for two weeks of feedback time (two weekends for our busy clients) between stages and revisions to keep the project moving and to help stay on schedule. However, if sticking to this feedback time period is not possible, we will work with you to adjust new schedule dates accordingly.

Other factors such as house works, renovations or extensions can also impact the design and landscaping schedule and need to be considered. Our recommendation is to start the design process as early as possible to help plan, schedule, and budget the entire project.

The duration of a landscaping project can vary greatly depending on several factors such as:

• Access: Depending on the location of the property and the proximity of the garden area, access can be a key factor that affects the duration of the project.
• Location: If the garden is located in a remote area or a hard-to-reach place, it can take longer to complete the project.
• Size: The size of the garden is an important factor to consider. A small garden will typically take at least 4-6 weeks to fully landscape, while a medium-sized garden will take at least 8 weeks and a large garden will take at least 12 weeks.
• Project budget: The budget allocated for the project can also affect the duration. A more elaborate or high-end project may take longer to complete than a simpler one.
• Project specifications: The specific elements included in the project such as the type of materials, plants, lighting, irrigation systems, etc. can also affect the duration of the project.
• Complexity: The complexity of the project can also affect the duration. A simple design will take less time to complete than a complex one.

There is also the factor of the time of the year when the landscaping is being carried out. There are pros and cons to working at different times of the year:

• Summer is dry and hot but has longer hours but landscapers tend to be much busier and you’d probably want to make use of your current garden.
• Winter is wet, cold, messy but landscapers tends to be slightly quieter and larger plants, trees and hedging are cheaper and you wont be needed to use your existing garden.
• Spring and autumn are great times for planting but are a mix of summer and winter pros and cons.

Your project times will be very specific to you, your property and your bespoke design that is being created for you. Our advise is to be patient wait until our contractors are free, as it will be worth waiting for, rushing any construction project leads to mistakes. We will be on hand and assist every step of the way.

Our landscapers and specialists are typically available for projects every 3-4 months, depending on the size of the team and the contractor we recommend for your project.

It is important to note that a well-established contractor will likely have a busy schedule, so if a contractor is not busy, it may be a red flag.

Before we can schedule a project, a design or at least concept design must be completed. This will give us a clear understanding of the scope of the project and allow us to recommend the best contractor for the project. We will then provide initial cost estimates and schedule the project at the earliest availability of the chosen contractor. The final details of the design can be completed while we are waiting for the contractor’s availability.

When you are searching for a professional garden design and landscaping company, it’s important to know who their clients are and the types of projects they have experience with.

We work with successful and busy individuals who own houses valued between £800,000 and £5,000,000+ with an average value of £1,500,000. These clients typically live within 2.5 hours of travel from our studio in Chichester and the surrounding areas of Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, and Greater London.

We also provide remote working services for clients who are further afield or located abroad, and we take on in-person projects for larger projects further afield as well. Our clients come from all walks of life and appreciate good design, quality workmanship, and well-planned projects. They often undertake renovations, extensions, or rebuilds of their main or second homes, and we frequently collaborate with their architects, interior designers, developers, and high-end construction companies to match the standard of the home’s architecture and interior design.

In addition, we work with private HNW individuals with property portfolios and on commercial projects for companies such as high-end developers, Airbus, Neptune, and NHS hospitals.

We understand that when you are looking for a garden design and landscaping company, you want an end-to-end, hassle-free and stress-free service to achieve your dream garden, whether it’s for a project property to sell or a house for life. You want to create a space that adds value, improves outdoor living, serves as a destination to enjoy with friends and family, and serves as an extension of the home or property.

Our company is dedicated to providing this level of service and creating gardens that match the standard of your home’s architecture and interior design. With our team of experienced professionals, we are confident that we can help you achieve your dream garden.

We specialise in providing a wide range of landscaping services, including designing, installation, and maintenance for various outdoor spaces. However, these services are only offered to clients who have contracted and paid for a design service with us.

For small projects that do not require design work, such as a small patio or fencing project, we recommend searching for a well-experienced, qualified, and insured landscaping contractor. You can use industry associations such as APL and BALI to find one in your area.
