Do you design gardens across all of Sussex?

Yes - Mid Sussex is our base, and we work throughout West Sussex, into East Sussex and across the border into east Surrey.

Can I have the design without the build?

Yes. Plenty of clients take the drawings and use their own contractor. We are happy either way, though most ask us to build what we have drawn.

How long does the design stage take?

Usually four to eight weeks from survey to signed-off drawings, depending on the size of the garden and how many revisions you want.

What does a garden design cost?

It starts with a paid consultation and survey, then scales with the garden. We give you a fixed fee before any drawing begins.

Designers who also build

Most design practices hand a drawing to a contractor and step away. We do both, which means a plan is never drawn that cannot be built well, and the detail that matters - levels, drainage, how a step meets a wall - is resolved on paper rather than argued about on site.

You get one team, one price and one person responsible from the first survey to the last plant.

What a Sussex garden asks for

Weald clay holds water, chalk near the Downs drains too fast, and half the county sits in a designated landscape where the planting palette matters. A design that ignores the ground it sits on fails within three seasons.

We survey soil, levels, drainage, aspect and exposure first, then design a garden that works with the site instead of fighting it.

What garden design costs

Design packages start with a paid consultation and survey, then scale with the size and complexity of the garden. Full builds vary enormously, but a designed and constructed garden of any real ambition generally starts in the mid five figures.

The design fee is spent understanding the site properly - and it is the cheapest part of the project to change your mind on.
