FAQs

What will my garden cost to complete?Jo Fisher2023-08-09T11:24:18+01:00

What will my garden cost to complete?

Until you have a design in place that is impossible to answer – square meterage rates can be applied to a plot, but given the variations in cost between different treatments (say lawn versus paving) any estimates in the absence of a design will be utterly pointless. Having seen the site and taken a brief we may be able to give you an order of magnitude. See our blog on this subject here

What are my options if I can’t afford to have my entire garden rebuilt all at once?Jo Fisher2023-08-09T11:25:03+01:00

What are my options if I can’t afford to have my entire garden rebuilt all at once?

Once you have a detailed garden design in place it is simple to break this down into stages that will allow you to do the work in chunks. With smaller spaces and tighter access this is less practical than in big gardens where whole areas can be left until the next phase, but there is almost always a way to break up the costs.

What is the best time of year to landscape a garden?Jo Fisher2023-08-09T11:25:40+01:00

What is the best time of year to landscape a garden?

The short answer is that we can (and do) work at almost any time. Different projects and sites will have different constraints. Autumn and early winter are usually best for large scale planting supply, but it can be slow and muddy if the ground is waterlogged so there are pros and cons of any season. We can discuss with you when planning the build.

Do I need planning permission for landscape work?Jo Fisher2023-08-09T11:26:58+01:00

Do I need planning permission for landscape work?

Sometimes! Garden buildings and pools may require planning permission, and some more significant changes to ground levels, depending on the area and your site specific planning restrictions. Conservation areas may have specific restrictions, and most boundary treatments need to be dealt with care if over 2m tall. Tree works may require permission from the tree officers if they are protected too.
