"More and more, we can all begin to recognise the value and the potential of our gardens as an extension to our living space. Creative design can help you to realise your aspirations and present ideas that are beyond the obvious."
- Why do you need garden design?
Your garden is most likely the biggest room in your house and usually the least expensive to improve if you compare the metre by metre costs.
A garden design can ensure that your money is spent in the best way possible and costly mistakes are avoided.
Detailed plans allow problems to be smoothed out before any work starts and allows you to budget more accurately. It enables you to break down the task into stages if you need to, while ensuring the whole thing adds up when it is finished. - When is a good time?
Trees and shrubs take time to grow, to reap the rewards, getting started early is a good idea. Dont leave it until you are thinking about moving house!
Depending on the size of the project, it may take several months from commissioning the design to when the garden begins to take shape, so don't wait until spring if you want your garden to be finished for the summer. - About us
