Why invest in your garden and in a designer?

According to the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, an attractive garden can add at least 5% to your house price. As well as the financial reward, it can be a place to relax, an outside entertaining space, a safe place for children to play, or simply a view from your house.

A good designer can actually save you money. Using our knowledge of plants, materials suppliers, construction, design, garden history and our relationship with local planners, we can turn your ideas into a realistic plan, and working on paper allows any problems to be ironed out before work is carried out in your garden, avoiding costly and time-consuming mistakes.
