How much does a garden makeover cost?

It all depends on the size of your garden and what you want to do. We’ll chat with you, find out what you’re looking for, and provide a free, no-obligation quote.

Most projects take a few weeks, but bigger transformations can take longer. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way.

Definitely! Simple changes – like new plants, fresh turf, or updated decking, can make a huge difference without breaking the bank.

If your space feels cluttered, hard to maintain, or doesn’t flow properly, it’s probably time for a rethink.

Defining areas, adding structure (like evergreen hedging), and improving plant spacing are quick fixes that make a huge impact.

Absolutely! Thoughtful planning, vertical planting, and clever use of space can make even the tiniest garden look amazing.

The duration varies based on the project’s scope and complexity. Small projects may take a few weeks, while extensive renovations can span several months.

Costs depend on factors like garden size, design complexity, and material choices. On average, comprehensive renovations can range from £5,000 to £20,000.

Most garden projects don’t require planning permission. However, significant structural changes or installations may necessitate approvals. It’s best to consult with your landscaping professional.

Start by identifying the areas you want to illuminate (e.g., pathways, seating areas, features). Combine functional lights like path lights with accent lighting such as uplights for trees.

Use LED bulbs and solar-powered fixtures, and consider adding timers or motion sensors to minimise unnecessary energy usage.

Use light-coloured materials, vertical planting, and mirrors to create a sense of space. Defining zones can also make the area feel more functional and organised.

Lavender, hostas, hydrangeas, and ornamental grasses are all excellent choices. Native plants such as foxgloves and primroses are also ideal, as they thrive naturally in UK climates with minimal care.

Once you’ve signed off the design and accepted our quote, we’ll schedule the works with you, organise deliveries, assign the site team, and provide a clear project timeline. You’ll receive regular updates throughout the build so you always know what stage we’re at.

In most cases, landscaping doesn’t need planning permission, but certain features — like outbuildings, retaining walls or raised decking — may require approval. If we believe permission is needed, we’ll advise you early in the design stage and can assist with drawings or information to support your application.

We work year-round, but some aspects of landscaping depend on safe ground conditions. Heavy rain, frozen soil or extreme weather can delay certain tasks such as laying patios or planting. If weather affects your project, we’ll keep you informed and reschedule work to ensure the best quality finish.
