Landscapers & Garden Design in Burrows Cross
We design and build gardens in Burrows Cross and the surrounding GU5 area. On the high wooded ridge above Shere and Gomshall, known for its long views across the Weald.
Gardens that suit Burrows Cross
Burrows Cross homes enjoy some of the best views in the Surrey Hills, often on steep, wooded plots. We design terraces and viewing platforms that capture the outlook, with retaining walls and planting that stabilise sloping ground.
Every project starts with a survey and a proper design, so terraces, planting, lighting and any garden room are planned together rather than added piece by piece.
- Full garden design and 3D visuals
- Natural stone terraces, paths and steps
- Planting plans for local soil and aspect
- Garden rooms, studios and luxury pergolas
Ground, access and planning
Most plots here sit on steep, free-draining greensand, which shapes our drainage and foundation choices from day one.
Burrows Cross lies in the Surrey Hills National Landscape and the Green Belt, so buildings visible from the ridge are assessed carefully.
