Designed for your space

From the first ideas to a clear, buildable plan

Good garden design starts with listening. We discuss what you would like to change, how the garden needs to work and the style you feel comfortable with. We also consider maintenance, budget and whether the whole project will be completed at once or developed in stages.

A site assessment helps us understand access, levels, drainage, sunlight, views and existing features worth keeping. These practical details shape the layout and help avoid compromises later in the build.

Plans can bring paving, lawns, planting, boundaries, structures and focal points together before construction begins. They also make it easier to agree suitable materials and understand how the finished garden will feel as a whole.

Our garden design process

A considered route from conversation to construction

The level of design work can be adapted to the size and complexity of the garden. The aim is to get the best from the space, creating a garden that works beautifully for the way you want to use it.

01

Initial conversation

We talk through the garden, your priorities, preferred style, budget and how you want to use the space.

02

Site assessment

We look at dimensions, levels, access, drainage, aspect, surroundings and the features that should remain.

03

Layout and details

The arrangement of spaces, routes, materials, planting areas and structures is developed into a joined-up proposal.

04

Review and build

Ideas are refined with you and developed into a clearly planned landscaping project.

A garden designed around real life

What we consider

Every garden and household is different. These are some of the practical questions that help turn a good-looking layout into a garden that is comfortable to live with.

  • How you want to relax, entertain or play outside
  • Levels, access and dependable drainage
  • Sunlight, shelter, privacy and important views
  • The amount of maintenance that suits you
  • Materials appropriate for the house and local climate
  • Planting areas, lawns and seasonal interest
  • Storage, bins and other everyday practicalities
  • Lighting, power and other practical services
  • Budget, priorities and possible future phases

What our customers say

Rob and his team have completed this week a complete transformation on one side of my back garden. Extending my patio they did over 10 years ago into an L shape with new sleepers for planting. New fencing and side gate also. It's perfection in every aspect. The design work is excellence.

A very friendly team.

Thank you Rob for creating such an amazing garden in Stockport.

Rob,

This is just to say a huge thank you for agreeing to take on such a difficult project.

It is really very much appreciated, and is a massive improvement and transformation from the previous mess.

Many many thanks

Joe

Dear Rob,

Nadine and I would like to place on record our complete satisfaction for all the work you have done for us over recent years. You have transformed the appearance at the front and turned the rear garden into somewhere that is relaxing to both sit and work in. We can't think of anything more we could ask you to do, unless we move house.
