Verified reviews

“Without a doubt the best company I had ever experienced. They have gone above and beyond to make sure our project went to plan. The design was fantastic and they helped make changes to get everything in budget. Everything was so well run from deliveries and timescales. The team have all been exceptional, polite and friendly and could never do enough to help.”

Jeyda T.

“They somehow managed to turn our terrible explanation into a perfect design that suited the space exactly. The team who came to do the work were not only efficient but genuinely lovely to have around. We had the back garden done in March this year, and we now use it every single day, come rain or shine.”

Leanne S.

“We started with a very typical new build garden. What we have now is something completely different. It's beautiful, low maintenance and actually designed to be lived in and enjoyed by the whole family. They made us feel looked after from start to finish and that's rare these days. Would I recommend them? 1000%.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what homeowners ask us most.

What does Your Local Garden Designer actually do?

We're an independent garden design and matching service. We design your garden, then find and vet the right landscaper to build it.

We also handle the pricing, the negotiation and the contract, so your design and your builder are aligned before any work starts. One team looks after the whole journey, from first sketch to finished garden.

What's the difference between a garden designer and a landscaper, and do I need both?

Think of it like building a house. The designer is the architect, and the landscaper is the builder.

You need both for a garden that looks good and works well, but the two rarely speak the same language. We bring 34 years of design and hands-on landscaping together, so nothing gets lost between the drawing and the digging.

I've heard people spend thousands on a design that never gets built. How do you avoid that?

This is the biggest problem in our industry. Homeowners pay for a beautiful design, the build quotes come back far over budget, and the plans never leave the kitchen table.

We design with a full understanding of what each garden costs to build, and we only put forward designs we know can be delivered. Then we find a landscaper to build it at a realistic price, so your design gets off the paper and into the garden.

How much does a garden design cost?

Our design work is a fixed fee, so the price never grows with the size of your budget. Fees start at £300 for an on-site consultation and recommendation, and go up to £6,000 for a full 3D design with technical drawings.

You know exactly what you pay and exactly what you get. We'll recommend the right level for your project on a call.

Why are the quotes I get so different, and how do I know which to choose?

Each landscaper is pricing a different job, with their own scope, materials, standards and overheads. A low price is a warning sign that something has been left out of the quote.

We take the guesswork away. We agree one realistic price for your project, then match you with a landscaper who can build it to spec.

Do I have to tell you my budget?

It helps a lot. We're independent, so we're on your side and have no reason to sell you more.

When we know your budget, we design a garden that can be built for it. Without one, you end up with a dream design that falls apart the moment the quotes land.

How do you choose the landscaper for my garden?

Carefully, and in person. We visit their live projects, speak to their past clients and check their insurance. We've also mentored them to sharpen the way they work.

A landscaper is only placed with you once they pass every check. We'd trust each of them with our own garden.

Do you build the gardens yourselves?

We find the right landscaper for your garden and introduce you to them. We vet every one ourselves, and they build the design we created with you.

We stay in your corner from the first sketch to the final handover, so the finished garden matches the design you signed off.

Couldn't I just get a landscaper to design it, or a designer to manage the build?

You could, but that's where most projects come unstuck. A designer without build experience struggles to price and specify the job accurately. A landscaper without a design eye rarely goes beyond paving and lawn.

We combine both skills, plus the contract side. That closes the gap that leaves so many homeowners stuck.

I've already got ideas or AI images. Can you still help?

Yes. Bring them along, they're a great starting point.

We'll tell you honestly what will and won't work in your space. Then we'll turn your ideas into a proper design that can be built, and match you with the right landscaper to deliver it.

How does payment work? Who do I pay?

You pay us for the design. The build price comes from your matched landscaper.

We negotiate that price for you and review the scope and the contract with you, so nothing's missing and the number is real before you sign anything.

What happens on the first call, and does it cost anything?

The first call costs nothing, and there's no pressure to commit. We'll talk through your space and your ideas, and answer your questions.

Then we'll recommend the right next step for you, whether that's a design or some honest advice. When you're ready, we'll book you in with a designer.

Still got a question we haven’t answered? and we’ll talk it through.
