OUR RANGE OF SERVICES
FIRSTLY, HOW
MUCH DOES A NEW GARDEN COST?
A complete
redevelopment of flat square garden with
standard landscaping, including
planting, will generally cost
around £85 per square
meter to build and
install. Sloped
gardens, those with
restricted access or
those requiring more
complex or bespoke
constructions will
inevitably cost more: high-end
design and landscaping
can cost £150-200 or
more per square meter.
Another
common guide is to
allocate around 10% of
your property value to
landscaping works: this
is normally spread
between front and back
gardens.
The
design and planning of
the project will
typically cost around
8-12% of a budget which
assumes inclusion of
relevant labour costs.

rough idea of your
garden size you can

of tea and a walk around
the existing garden; the

recommendations and
proposals for
development and a
projection of estimated
costs.

on budgets and explore
potential layout plans.
