Common Questions
A few questions homeowners often ask before getting in touch.
We specialise exclusively in formal, European-style garden design — the structured symmetry, clipped hedging and classical proportion of a grand estate garden, scaled thoughtfully for residential homes. Every project starts with a design plan, not just a planting list.
Both. Many homeowners come to us with an established garden that has lost its structure over the years. We assess what's worth keeping and rebuild the formal framework around it, often costing less and taking less time than starting from bare ground.
We work across Richmond upon Thames, St Albans, Guildford, Winchester, Henley-on-Thames, Tunbridge Wells, Cheltenham, Harrogate and the surrounding countryside. Just outside our usual area? Get in touch — we can often accommodate larger projects further afield.
Yes. Ornamental fountains, still pools, pergolas, statuary plinths and garden structures are all part of a formal design, and we coordinate their installation alongside the planting and hard landscaping so everything is built to the same plan.
Booking, Pricing & Process
How a project starts, what it costs, and how to book.
It starts with a site visit, where we walk the garden with you, discuss how you use the space, and talk through the formal design style you have in mind. From there we prepare a design concept for your review before any planting or building work is scheduled.
Timelines vary with scope — a hedge and topiary refresh might take a few days, while a full garden redesign with hard landscaping and planting can run across a season. We'll give you a realistic schedule once the design is agreed.
Yes. After the initial consultation we provide a written quote covering design, materials and labour, so there are no surprises once work is underway. Nothing is booked in until you've reviewed and approved it.
Use the form above to send us a few details about your garden and what you're looking to achieve, or call us directly. We'll arrange a site visit at a time that suits you, with no obligation to proceed.
