How much will my garden cost to design?We need to meet you and have an initial site consultation to discuss your needs and assess your garden before we can provide you with a quotation.
Can I afford to have my garden designed?Garden design is not just for the very wealthy, or for people with very large gardens! We passionately believe in providing innovative design at affordable prices, and so we link our fees to the size of garden we are asked to design. Prices start from as little as £550 and we also offer FREE initial consultations for clients within a one-hour drive of Grantham.
What will it take to maintain the investment I have just made in my new garden?Keep in mind that about 20% of the cost of a garden is in the planning and installation phase; the remaining 80% of the cost is in the ongoing maintenance over the life of the garden and is necessary to keep up the value of your original investment. Even if you have requested a “low maintenance” garden, every garden requires some tender loving care to hel...
Can we hire one person to design our garden and another company to build it?We recommend that the same firm who designs your garden should build it. That way you can be assured they will keep the original design style, intent, and quality. There will be no confusion over the designer's original vision for your garden.

What's the difference between garden design and landscape design?In the USA in the past, a landscape designer was more likely to work on hardscaping projects (involving paths, walls and construction, as well as lighting and irrigation). The garden designer was more concerned with planting. But things are changing. Nowadays, garden designers also do hardscaping. (We teach it all, by the way). Meanwhile, a 'contractor', or 'landscaper', o...

I don’t live in your area, can you still design my garden ?We have the capacity to design a garden based on photographs, site survey, house plans and other critical information. We have a questionnaire on our site to help begin the process. When you submit a Landscape Design Questionnaire we will contact you with further information.
I have a big garden, surely I shouldn't have to pay for so much wastewater?We allow you 25% of year-round water use for the garden. If you use more you may consider installing a garden meter (one-off cost $435). This gives you an outside tap for the garden hose, for which there is no wastewater charge at all, however, the household wastewater charge is then calculated at 100%, with no allowance for outside use. What does a garden design cost?It is important to know at the outset what services your garden designer will charge in order that you can fix a budget for the entire project. Some designers will charge a small fee for an initial meeting and this is likely to be between £40 and £60 per hour; others will offer one meeting for free. Agree the terms of this meeting beforehand. Afterwards, if you wish to pro... |
