The timeline varies based on project scope and complexity. A straightforward redesign with planting and minor hardscaping typically takes 4-6 weeks from initial consultation to completion. This includes site assessment, design development, material sourcing, and installation work.

Larger projects involving structural changes, water features, or extensive paving may require 8-12 weeks. Weather conditions and material availability can affect scheduling. During our first meeting, we provide a realistic timeline specific to your project and keep you informed throughout each phase.

British gardens face variable rainfall, moderate temperatures, and distinct seasonal changes. We recommend selecting plants suited to your specific microclimate and soil type. Native species often perform well and support local wildlife. Consider drainage solutions for areas prone to waterlogging during wet months.

Hardscaping materials should withstand freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain. We also suggest incorporating year-round interest through evergreen structure, winter-flowering plants, and attractive bark or seed heads. Proper soil preparation and mulching help plants establish successfully in our climate.

Yes, we provide flexible maintenance plans suited to different needs and budgets. Our standard package includes fortnightly visits during the growing season (April-October) and monthly visits in winter. Services cover lawn care, border maintenance, hedge trimming, and seasonal tasks like leaf clearance and mulch application.

We also offer one-off seasonal tidy-ups or customised schedules for clients who prefer less frequent visits. Each package can be adjusted to focus on specific areas of your garden. All maintenance work includes removal of green waste, and we bring our own equipment.

Absolutely. Many clients have mature trees, established borders, or hardscaping they wish to retain. We design around these elements, integrating them into the new layout while refreshing surrounding areas. Existing plants can often be relocated or pruned to fit the updated scheme.

During the site assessment, we evaluate which features are worth keeping and how they can enhance the overall design. This approach often reduces costs and preserves the garden's established character while introducing fresh planting and improved functionality.

Contact us by phone or email to arrange a site visit. We'll discuss your requirements, assess the property, and take measurements. For design projects, we provide a detailed proposal outlining the scope of work, materials, timeline, and costs. Maintenance quotes are based on garden size, frequency of visits, and specific tasks required.

All quotations are provided in writing within 5-7 working days of the site visit. There's no obligation, and we're happy to answer questions or adjust the proposal based on your feedback. Once approved, we schedule the work at a time convenient for you.

We remove all green waste and debris generated during our work. Organic material such as grass clippings, prunings, and leaves is taken to licensed composting facilities. Hard waste like broken paving or old fencing is sorted and recycled where possible, with any remaining material disposed of responsibly.

For larger projects, we arrange skip hire if needed, ensuring your property remains clean throughout. We aim to minimise waste by reusing suitable materials on site, such as topsoil or salvaged stone. This approach supports environmental responsibility while keeping costs manageable.

Yes, we hold full public liability insurance covering all aspects of our work. Our team includes horticulturally trained staff with recognised qualifications in garden design, arboriculture, and grounds maintenance. We follow industry standards for plant care, safe use of equipment, and site management.

For specialist tasks such as tree surgery or electrical installations for outdoor lighting, we work with certified subcontractors. All work complies with current health and safety regulations, and we provide documentation upon request. Your property and our team are fully protected throughout every project.
