Landscape Design Guildford β FAQ
How much does landscape design cost in Guildford?
Most Guildford design packages begin at around Β£350 for compact gardens and increase with garden size, drawings required, and 3D options. After the consultation you receive a clear, fixed design fee proposal.
Can you design a garden to be built in phases?
Yes. We can break the masterplan into sensible stages so each phase works on its own, with a clear route to the finished garden and better control over spend.
Do you work with sloping sites and planning constraints?
Guildford has many level changes and overlooking issues. We design with levels, drainage, boundaries, and privacy in mind and can provide notes that support any permissions or engineer input that may be needed.
Do you also carry out the landscaping work?
Our focus is design, but we can introduce trusted landscape contractors and issue a design pack that makes their quotations more accurate and comparable.
Can you supply planting schedules and plant lists?
Yes. Planting plans can include full plant lists, pot sizes, quantities, and simple seasonal care notes so you or your gardener know what to do and when.

Why Choose Landscape Design Guildford
Professional Landscape Design Guildford turns rough ideas into clear, buildable plans that respect levels, drainage, boundaries, and budget. You receive drawings and specifications that make it simple for contractors to quote accurately and construct with confidence.
Guildford gardens often sit on slopes, with a mix of mature trees, clay or chalky soils, and overlooked spaces around GU1, GU2 and GU4. Our concept to detail process resolves these site quirks early, with zoning, surfacing, and planting chosen to handle real-world conditions while still feeling calm and cohesive.
Whether you want a relaxed family garden, a modern courtyard for entertaining, or a full front and rear redesign, our Landscape Design Guildford service balances style, privacy, maintenance, and cost control so you finish with a space that looks right and is realistic to build.

Landscape Design Guildford - Map, Areas and Site Constraints
Our Landscape Design Guildford projects are focused around the town itself and the wider GU1 to GU4 area in Surrey, where sloping plots, clay or chalk soils and overlooked gardens are common. The map and notes below show where we typically work and the practical constraints we plan for at design stage.
How Landscape Design Guildford Responds To Local Conditions
Many gardens in Guildford sit on a hillside or step down from the house, with views over the town, mature boundary trees and changes in level between neighbours. Good Landscape Design Guildford takes these slopes, retaining walls and drainage routes into account from the first sketch.
We shape terraces, steps, usable seating and play areas so that circulation feels natural, while planting and screening help to manage privacy and noise near key routes such as the A3 and local train lines. Clay and chalk soils are treated carefully, with sub base build ups and planting choices adapted to the specific garden.
- Masterplans that respond to existing level changes and boundary conditions.
- Surfacing solutions for front and rear gardens that work with Guildford planning guidance.
- Planting schemes that handle sun, shade and heavier soils found around GU1 to GU4.
- Ideas that improve kerb appeal without creating maintenance headaches.
- Clear drawings that local landscapers can price and build from with confidence.
