Budget & Costs

"A well kept, landscaped garden can add up to 20% to the value of your property. The value of your garden depends on the property value and the garden features.

A patio, garden shed and garden ornaments can substantially increase both the value and the saleability of your property."

Design Fees:

Nationally, the average for garden design fees is said to be between 8% and 20% of your overall budget. However, this is a rough estimate which will vary widely, as each situation is different with so many possible variables.

Firstly, the fee depends on what it is that you want to achieve and on how much involvement you want to have.
Ultimately, creating your garden is a collaborative venture and we will give you as much or as little assistance as you need.

Maybe you already have your design but, just don’t have time to do it. Or you only need help with a few elements, like plant selection, construction methods, or labour. Or perhaps you want us to take care of the whole project, from start to finish.

For this reason, the first consultation stage is without charge. There are no hidden fees and nothing to pay until -

1- you’ve had time to decide exactly what it is you want,
2- we’ve calculated estimates of the project's likely costs and,
3- our level of involvement has been agreed.

Having a well-thought-out design is the best way to optimise your budget. In this way, you avoid costly mistakes, bad timing, and overpriced or inappropriate choices of plants, materials and labour. Other areas which can also have costly implications are; rubbish disposal, access to the site, underground or overhead services, and local planning and environmental restrictions.
