How much should I invest in my garden design?

Bespoke, careful and soulful garden design makes for beautiful outdoor spaces you long to return to. But how much will the garden design of your dreams cost? What should you invest? And how can you make your budget work hard for you?

How much does garden design cost?

Garden design fees start at £6250 and we takeon projects from approx £60,000 build budget.

The final fee will depend on how complex your garden is and all the elements you wish to have. It will necessarily be higher the more complex the design is, and the more elements like buildings, outdoor kitchens or construction elements are involved.

How much should I invest?

I suggest clients may wish to invest from 10% of your property value upwards on your garden development. That means if you home is worth £1 million, you may wish to invest from £100,000 on the build budget. The decision on how much to invest is completely personal and related to your wishlist.

What should my build budget be?

Example costs of recent builds include a London terrace garden -250-500m2 £60,000-120,000

An acreage - 3,500m2-1 acre £500,000-£750,000

OK so how much is planting then?

I advise that you should allow min £280m2 for plants and planting and approx £600-£1200 for specimen trees.
