A step by step guide
what to expect from start to completion of your garden design
Initial Consultation
An initial design consultation for our designers to meet with you at your home to discuss your requirements. We will find out how you want to use your garden, your style and any ideas you may already have.
Design Cost
small garden – between £1,000 and £1,500 plus VAT
medium garden between £1,500 and £2,300 plus VAT
large garden between £2,300 and £3,500 plus VAT
for smaller projects and garden makeovers please get in touch.
Concept Design
Once we have a good idea of your requirements we will visit again to measure up and spend time in your garden to get a feel for the space. Our designers will then produce a preliminary mood board together with concept drawings for approval.
Developed Design
Once these initial ideas are agreed with you we will then produce the master plan with all the fine details; materials, planting style and colours, 2D plans and, if requested, 3D visuals. These will include planting and lighting plans.
Garden Build
We work together with the landscaping team, outdoor lighting expert and carpenter. We will then arrange for all trees, shrubs and plants to be sourced and our team at Essex Garden Designs will plant your garden.
Maintenance
We won’t desert you once the build is complete. Our team of RHS qualified gardeners can help with regular maintenance, ad hoc garden advice or a once a year tidy.
