Question 1

How long does the design phase typically take?

Accepted Answer

The design phase typically takes 1–8 weeks, depending on the size of the garden, the number of elements, and the budget. Where the project only calls for a simple outline drawing, we can turn it around in a couple of days.

Question 2

What happens if the build quote comes back higher than expected?

Accepted Answer

The build quote is no-obligation, so there's no commitment to proceed if it isn't right for you. If the design is what you want but the cost isn't, we can revisit it with you. Different materials, a phased build, or a tighter scope can all bring the figure down. We'll explain what's driving the cost so the choice is yours to make.

Question 3

Is design worth doing on a small garden?

Accepted Answer

Often more than on a large one. In a small garden, every square metre is doing a job, and small decisions about levels, sightlines, and proportion add up quickly. Good design works out where to spend, where to hold back, and how to make the space feel larger or quieter than it actually is. The first meeting is free, and we'll give you an honest view before you commit.
