We keep things clear from the first conversation to the final handover. So you always know where you are, what's happening next, and who's responsible for making it right.

How a project with us works

Building a high-end garden is a significant investment — in time, thought and money. We've designed our process to make it as straightforward and transparent as possible, from the first enquiry through to the day we hand the garden back to you.

Step 1: Enquiry

It starts with a conversation. Use our enquiry form to tell us about your project — your location, what you're hoping to create, whether you have a garden designer involved, and a rough sense of your budget. The more detail you can share at this stage, the better. We'll review your enquiry and get in touch to arrange a site visit.

Step 2: Consultation

Henry will visit your garden for an initial consultation. This is a chance to walk the site together, understand your brief in detail, and get a clear picture of any structural or practical considerations. There's no obligation and no pressure, just an honest conversation.

Step 3: Quote

If you already have a garden design in place, we'll work directly from that. If you need design support, we can connect you with an appropriate garden designer and help facilitate the process. Once the design is confirmed and the scope is clear, we'll produce a detailed, itemised quote.

Step 4: Build

Henry oversees every project on site personally. Our team is experienced, reliable, and takes pride in its work. You'll receive regular updates and have direct access to Henry throughout, decisions are made quickly and any questions are dealt with promptly. Most builds take between 4–12 weeks depending on scale. We'll give you a realistic programme at the outset and keep you updated throughout.

Step 5: Handover

As the project draws to a close, Henry carries out a final walkthrough with you. Any remaining items are addressed before we consider the project complete. Once you're satisfied, we formally hand the garden over to you. We also schedule a follow-up visit a couple of months after completion — a chance to check in on how the garden is settling in, answer any questions, and ensure everything is performing as expected.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I get in touch?

As early as possible. We typically work around 4-6 months ahead, and popular start windows (particularly spring and early summer) fill up quickly. Even if your project isn't ready to begin immediately, it's worth making contact so we can give you a clear picture of availability.

What's your minimum project budget?

We focus on substantial garden builds, with most projects starting from around £25,000. Our sweet spot is projects in the £30,000 to £150,000+ range. If you're unsure whether your project fits, get in touch — we're always happy to have an honest conversation.

Do you work with garden designers?

Yes, and we actively encourage it. For most full garden transformations, collaborating with a garden designer produces the best result. If you already have a designer, we'll work closely with them throughout. If you need one, we can connect you with the right person for your project and style.

Do you do your own design work?

For full garden projects, we don't offer in-house design services, we're specialists in the build. For more contained projects, such as outdoor kitchens or bespoke structures, we can work with you directly on the specification without the need for a full design package.

What areas do you cover?

We primarily work across Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire. For exceptional projects, we're open to a wider radius, just get in touch to discuss.

Who will be managing my project on site?

Henry, always. He oversees every project personally, from the initial consultation through to handover. The person you meet at the start is the same person making sure everything is done right at the end.

What happens about planting?

Planting is typically handled toward the end of the build. We work with a trusted planting specialist, and your garden designer (if involved) will usually attend the planting day to set out the plants according to the design. We'll talk through the planting process with you as part of the project planning.

What does the handover process look like?

We don't just finish and leave. Once the main build is complete, Henry carries out a thorough walkthrough with you to make sure everything is to your satisfaction. Any final items are addressed before we formally sign off the project. We also follow up a couple of months later to check in.
