Services
There is no design partner handing off to a stranger, and no labour-only subcontract. The person who drew the section is the one who prices the build and holds the beds through establishment — which is the only arrangement under which anyone can be held to a garden.
Book a site visitWe survey the ground, draw it in section, and plan the planting layer by layer — canopy, understorey, shrub, herbaceous, ground. You get scaled drawings and a costed schedule, not a mood board, so the garden can be built to a price and to a date.
Groundworks, drainage, paving, steps, walls and planting, by our own teams rather than labour-only subcontract. We price off the section, so the sub-base, the falls and the drainage are in the figure before the first turf is lifted.
The layers are set biggest-first: canopy trees while the beds are open, then understorey, shrubs, the herbaceous layer and the groundcover that suppresses the weeds. Stock is specified by size and root form, not bought on the day off a pallet.
A garden is planted small and read mature. We hold the beds through the first three years — watering, formative pruning, cutting back and gapping up — because that is the difference between a planting plan and a garden.
What it costs to start
| Design — survey, section and planting plan A measured survey, a scaled section through every bed, a planting plan by layer, and a costed schedule you can build from — with us or without us. | from £2,400 | fixed, credited against the build |
|---|---|---|
| Build — hard and soft landscaping Groundworks, drainage, paving, walls and planting by our own teams. Priced off the section, so the ground below the surface is in the number too. | by schedule | fixed price against the drawings |
| Maintenance — the first three years A young planting is a build that is not finished. We hold the beds through establishment: watering plan, formative pruning, and the gapping-up nobody budgets for. | from £180 | per visit |
Build prices are quoted per garden, off the drawings, after a survey. Anyone quoting a build without having stood on the ground is quoting a guess.
We come and read the ground, the levels and the aspect. The design fee is credited in full against the build if you go ahead with us.
