Garden Design and Build
In Hertfordshire and North London
A complete, design led journey from first idea to finished garden
Our Garden Design and Build service is for homeowners in Hertfordshire and North London who want a well considered garden, delivered properly, with clarity at every stage.
This is a fully managed process that brings together strong layout design, thoughtful material choices, and naturalistic planting, all delivered through a clear and structured build programme.
You work with one team, one lead designer, and a defined process from start to finish
Who this service is for
This service is suited to you if:
You want a professionally designed garden with clear structure and longevity
You value good design but do not want to manage contractors yourself
You want realistic budgets, honest advice, and a calm process
You would like the garden built and planted as a cohesive whole
It is particularly well suited to family gardens, contemporary new builds, period properties, and gardens that need clarity and direction rather than piecemeal change.
What we deliver
Our Garden Design and Build service typically includes:
Initial site visit and design briefing
Concept design and layout development
Material and hard landscape specification
Planting design with a focus on structure and seasonal interest
Clear cost guidance and build planning
Coordination of the build process
Installation of hard landscaping and planting
Final walk through and handover guidance
Design always leads the process. The build follows the design, not the other way around.
Our design approach
We design gardens with strong underlying structure that feel calm, balanced, and inviting. Architectural
lines and clear layouts are softened with naturalistic planting that evolves over time and supports wildlife.
The aim is not a garden that looks finished on day one, but one that matures beautifully and becomes part of your home.
Typical investment
Garden Design and Build projects typically start from:
Design fees from £4,500
Overall build budgets from £40,000 upwards
Final costs depend on size, complexity, materials, and planting density.
We will always discuss budgets openly and realistically at an early stage.
How the process works

Customer Testimonials
We wanted someone with experience to bounce ideas off and make a garden that is welcoming and beautiful.
Tim immediately understood the kind of atmosphere we hoped to create and was knowledgeable about which kinds of plants would work best. Our garden looks even better than I could have imagined.”
Tim achieved a good balance between following our vision and adding lots of interesting ideas. He incorporated elements that were important to us, such as our water fountain, while suggesting many other things.
Overall, we couldn't be happier with the wonderful garden Tim designed for us. It really is our favourite thing about coming home!”
We were working on a major building project at the same time, so Tim’s soothing, measured approach was a real pleasure.
The finished garden is extremely calming and reflects our whole experience of working with Tim.”
Tim’s use of computer models allowed us to really understand what we would get and what the design would look like from all aspects which gave us confidence to proceed with the design.
Tim managed the work on site very diligently with lots of attention to detail which made a huge difference to quality. The finished product is amazing!”
