Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a garden design project typically take?

It varies with the size and complexity of the project. A straightforward redesign of a medium-sized garden can often be completed in two to four weeks, while larger or more complex schemes may take six to twelve weeks from design approval to completion.

Can you work with the existing plants and features we want to keep?

Absolutely. We always assess the existing garden carefully and incorporate any plants, structures, or features you wish to retain into the new design. Reusing what's already there can also help keep costs down.

Do I need planning permission for garden work?

Most domestic garden projects don't require planning permission, but certain structures such as large outbuildings or work near listed buildings may need approval. We'll advise you on any permissions required as part of our consultation.
