Common questions
- How much does a full garden makeover cost?
- As a guide estimate, a terrace-led refresh often starts around £15,000 to £25,000, a full transformation with levels, lighting and planting commonly sits between £30,000 and £70,000, and estate-scale projects go beyond. Only a measured design gives a real price.
- What makes landscaping expensive?
- Groundworks, access, slopes, spoil removal, drainage and material choice. A garden with no machine access or a steep fall can cost far more than a flat plot of the same size.
