Landscapers & Garden Design in Shere
We design and build gardens in Shere and the surrounding GU5 area. From cottage gardens along the Tillingbourne to larger homes on the lanes toward Peaslake and Hound House.
Gardens that suit Shere
Shere is one of Surrey's best-known villages, and its gardens are often small, walled and full of character. We design compact, beautifully detailed spaces: brick and stone paths, layered planting and seating areas that make the most of every metre.
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 greensand and river gravels, which shapes our drainage and foundation choices from day one.
Shere is a conservation area inside the Surrey Hills National Landscape with many listed buildings, so materials and visibility matter as much as size.

We work throughout GU5 and the surrounding Surrey villages, including Gomshall, Albury, Peaslake, Abinger Hammer, Farley Green.
Our workshop and yard are based in Mid Sussex, and Shere sits comfortably inside our usual working radius of roughly 25 miles — close enough that the team is on site regularly rather than in occasional visits.
