Full garden design

Transform your outdoor space with a complete garden redesign in West Sussex and beyond, tailored to your lifestyle and vision. Whether starting from a blank canvas or reimagining an existing garden, our full garden design service takes care of every detail—from first ideas to final installation.

The process begins with an on-site consultation, giving us the chance to walk through the space together and discuss your aspirations in depth. From this, we create a detailed client brief, which forms the foundation of the design. This initial consultation is usually free of charge (location dependent). Following this, we’ll provide a clear breakdown of design fees before work begins.

What’s Included:

• Initial Consultation – On-site visit to understand your needs, style, and budget.
• Concept Design – Layout plans with planting schemes, paths, patios, terraces, and features.
• 3D Visuals – Bringing your garden design to life with detailed visuals.
• Project Management – Coordination with landscapers, contractors, and suppliers.
• Final Installation – Overseeing construction and planting to ensure a perfect finish.

Bring your garden to life with stunning, seasonal planting. Our planting design service ensures your outdoor space has year-round colour, texture, and interest, while thriving in local soil and climate conditions. A well-designed planting scheme adds beauty, colour, and texture to your garden, year-round. Whether you want a vibrant border, a calming courtyard, or a wildlife-friendly space, we’ll choose the best plants for your garden’s unique conditions—ensuring long-term growth, seasonal interest, and minimal maintenance.
