Guildford and Surrey · since 2006
A garden that works in February as well as June.
We design and build gardens with our own crew, on a dated programme, with a cost against every area of the drawing. Levels and drainage first, planting that earns its place second.
MarchMayWhat we do this month
Gardens run on a calendar. So do we.
Some work only makes sense in a certain window. Bare root hedging goes in when it is dormant, driveways go in when the ground is dry. Pick a season to see what we are booking.
Turf, planting and the first cut of the year.
- New lawns from turf or seed
- Border planting while the soil is warm and wet
- Hedge feeding and mulching
- Patio cleaning and re-pointing
Services
Design, build and keep it alive.
Starting prices below are what a typical Surrey garden costs. Every job gets a fixed quote after we have walked it.
Garden design
A measured survey, a soil test and a planted drawing you can build from, in stages if the budget wants it that way.
Full garden build
Levels, drainage, hard landscaping, planting and turf by our own crew. One start date, one finish date, one invoice schedule.
Patios and paths
Sandstone, porcelain and clay pavers laid on a full mortar bed with proper falls, so puddles do not sit outside your back door.
Driveways
Block paving, resin bound and gravel, all with a SuDS compliant build-up and a linear drain where the fall runs back to the house.
Fencing and screens
Close board, slatted and woven panels on concrete spurs or posts set in postcrete, plus gates made to the opening we measured.
Garden maintenance
Fortnightly or monthly visits from March to November, with hedge cutting, borders, lawn care and a written plan for the year.
Before you ring anyone
What does a garden like ours cost?
The honest answer is that it depends on the ground, but you should not have to book three appointments to find the rough shape of the number. Move the slider, pick a finish, see a range.
The range covers site set-up, muck away, materials, labour and VAT. It does not cover retaining walls over 900mm, garden buildings or lighting, which we price separately once we have seen the levels.
Rough cost, in ten seconds
Area, finish, access.
How a build runs
Four stages, in writing, from the first visit.
We walk the garden
One visit, about an hour, no charge. We look at levels, drainage, soil and what the light does through the day.
Drawing and costed plan
A planted layout with a build cost against each area, so you can drop or delay a section without losing the design.
Dated build programme
Start date, finish date, and which crew is on site each week. Deliveries land the day before they are needed.
Handover and a year of care
A planting plan with names and spacings, a watering schedule, and a free visit at twelve months to check it in.

What people say
4.9 out of 5, 168 reviews.
★★★★★The slope was unusable for eleven years. Seven weeks later we have three terraces and a lawn the children actually play on. The programme they gave us in March is the programme that happened.
Helen R., Shalford
★★★★★They found the reason the drive flooded before they quoted for it, which nobody else had bothered to do. The price held from quote to invoice.
Adrian P., Farnham
★★★★★The planting plan came with names, spacings and a watering schedule. A year on, everything they put in is still alive.
