About Our Landscape Design

Landscape design is the planning stage before groundwork starts, working out how a garden's layout, materials, planting and drainage fit together. It begins with a site survey recording existing levels, boundaries and drainage points, and produces a layout that gives groundworks a clear plan to cost and build against.

Why Choose Us

We design gardens we actually go on to build, so the plans are grounded in what's realistic on site rather than drawn up by someone who'll never pick up a shovel.

As a local Nottinghamshire team we take the time to understand how you'll use the space, and we're on hand across Nottingham, Lincoln, Derby and Mansfield if the design needs revisiting once work is underway.

What Affects the Price

•Size and complexity of the garden being designed
•Number of revisions and level of detail needed in the plan
•Whether drainage or level changes need surveying in detail
•Whether design is standalone or tied into a build we're also quoting

Common Questions

Do I need a design before groundworks start?

Not always, a simple job like relaying a patio doesn't need a full design, but anything involving changes to levels, drainage or a full garden layout benefits from planning it properly first.

Will you build the design once it's finished?

Yes, we design with a view to building the work ourselves, so the plan is based on what's actually achievable on your site rather than a purely conceptual drawing.

Can you work with an existing garden feature I want to keep?

Yes, we survey the whole plot including anything you want to retain, such as mature trees or existing walls, and design around it.
