A garden makeover can cost anything from a few thousand pounds for a simple planting refresh, to tens of thousands for a complete redesign. The final cost depends on the size of your garden, the scope of the project (a complete change, or some targeted improvements), the materials chosen and the level of landscaping involved.
Rather than focusing on a fixed figure, I encourage my clients to think about what they want their garden to achieve. Perhaps you’d like somewhere to entertain, a relaxing retreat after work, a safer space for children to play or simply a garden that’s easier to maintain. Once we understand your priorities, we can shape the design around both your aspirations and your budget. If necessary, we can also look at how your garden can be phased, to spread the cost, but also so that you can enjoy the first part to be completed sooner.
One of the biggest advantages of working with a garden designer is that I can help you spend your budget wisely. Careful planning at the beginning helps avoid expensive mistakes, ensures every element works together (especially when the build is phases) and creates a garden that will continue to bring enjoyment for years to come.
Based on recent projects: typical construction and planting budget for a high quality small garden in Hampshire starts from £20,000, medium-sized gardens tend to require budgets between £40,000 and £120,000, and large gardens in excess of this.
