Design + build, one team

From a considered drawing to a finished garden.

Most Bath gardens we're asked to landscape are working against something — a slope, a shaded north wall, awkward access, or a previous owner's questionable decisions. Good landscaping fixes those before it adds anything decorative.

We start with a survey and measured drawing, talk through how you actually use the space, then propose a scheme — levels, hard landscaping, planting palette, lighting and irrigation if needed. Then we build it. Same team end to end means nothing falls between the gaps.

What a landscape includes

The full kit.

Survey & design

Measured survey, mood boards, planting palette, hard-landscaping drawings — all included in the quote.

Levels & retaining

Cut-and-fill, sleeper walls, dry-stone walling, rendered block walls. Drainage handled at this stage.

Hard landscaping

Patios, paths, steps, gravel zones, rendered planters, fire pits, water features.

Planting

Specimen trees, structural shrubs, prairie / cottage / contemporary borders, herb gardens. Nursery-direct.

Lawns & meadow

Real turf, hydroseed, wildflower meadow, or premium artificial grass — whatever's right for the space.

Lighting & irrigation

12V LED garden lighting, drip irrigation, smart watering — designed in from the start, not bolted on after.

Working in Bath

Period gardens need a considered hand.

Conservation areas, Georgian terraces, Bath stone walls, awkward back-of-house access — we know the constraints because we work in them every week. We'll flag listed-building or conservation issues at the quote stage, not the bill.

FAQs

Questions worth asking.

Yes. Design-only packages start around £1,200 for a small garden and £2,500–£5,000 for a full back-garden scheme. The design fee is credited against the build if we go on to install.

A typical 80–150m² Bath garden takes 4–10 weeks on site once design is signed off, depending on hard landscaping complexity and weather.

Absolutely. Plenty of our jobs are renovations rather than full rebuilds — we keep what works, replace what doesn't, and tie the new in cleanly with the old.

We offer optional aftercare visits in year one to settle planting in, and can recommend a regular gardener for ongoing upkeep if needed.
