Expert Garden Design Services
Professional garden design services in Costessey. Transform your outdoor space with expert landscape design that combines beauty, functionality, and lasting value.
In Costessey, the best garden designs often come down to the type of plot you have; older gardens with established boundaries need a different approach to newer, more uniform layouts on modern developments. We'll help you decide what the garden should do first, then shape the layout around that.
Privacy and sight lines are common priorities locally, especially where gardens face each other. We'll use levels, screening and planting to make the space feel settled and private, while keeping it practical and easy to maintain.

Garden Design Services
A well-maintained garden with premium materials, when installed professionally, can increase a property's value by approximately 20%. Our comprehensive services transform outdoor spaces into beautiful, functional gardens that add lasting value to your property.
As experienced garden designers in Costessey, we offer a unique two-way approach to landscape design. We can bring your own garden design to life with expert implementation, or create a completely bespoke design tailored specifically to your property, lifestyle, and preferences.
Every successful project considers multiple factors that work together to create a space that's both beautiful and practical. Our comprehensive approach ensures your garden design delivers lasting results.
How functional is the design, both for your current needs and planning for the future? Whether you're designing a family garden for children to play in, creating a low-maintenance space for retirement, or maximizing entertainment areas, we consider it all. This includes practical elements like path widths for accessibility, sight lines from house windows, and how you'll actually use the space daily.
Understanding how sunlight moves through your garden is crucial for successful landscape design. We map which areas benefit most from sun throughout the day and seasons, identify spots that may be too exposed for certain plants or too shaded for others, and plan features accordingly. The right plant in the right place makes all the difference.
Different soil types support different plants and require different planning approaches. We assess your soil conditions to ensure we select appropriate plants and materials that will thrive in your specific garden environment. Working with your soil type, rather than against it, creates a healthier, more sustainable garden.
No one wants an expensive swamp. Proper drainage is fundamental to any successful garden. We carefully assess drainage needs, identify potential problem areas, and implement solutions that keep your garden healthy and usable throughout the year. From subtle grading to drainage systems, we ensure water goes where it should.
A thoughtful planting plan brings your vision to life with color, texture, and year-round interest. We create planting schemes that consider seasonal changes, maintenance requirements, mature sizes, and how plants work together to create a balanced garden.
Our flexible approach means we can work with you in whichever way suits your project best:
Have a clear vision or your own plans? We'll work with you to refine it, ensure it's practical for your site conditions, and then expertly implement it. We provide honest feedback on what will work well and what might need adjusting.
Not sure where to start? Our garden design service takes you from initial consultation through detailed planning to installation. We create designs specifically for your property, considering all the factors necessary for a successful and visually impressive garden.
Gardens in Costessey can vary between older properties in Old and New Costessey and newer developments such as Queen's Hills and Lodge Farm. Some plots have established boundaries and mature planting, while newer gardens may be more uniform in shape and need careful planning to add privacy and interest.
We design with the property and day-to-day use in mind, mapping how you move through the space and where you want seating, planting, and practical access. The aim is a garden that looks great, feels balanced, and works properly in real life.
Ground conditions can affect everything from paving and patios to planting and lawn health. In some newer areas of Costessey, soil can be compacted from construction work, which may influence drainage and how well new planting establishes. In other gardens, levels and water movement can vary from plot to plot.
We take these factors into account during the design stage so the final plan is practical. That can include planning levels, specifying suitable sub-bases, and allowing for drainage solutions where needed to keep the garden usable throughout the year.
Typical garden design briefs in Costessey include:
Each design is tailored to the property, the site conditions, and how you want to use the space.
We charge a fee for our landscape design and planning service after an initial free discussion. These fees vary by project and include site survey time and costs such as digging test holes and assessing subsoil conditions. Understanding what's beneath the surface helps us design gardens that succeed long-term.
The design presentation can be as simple or as detailed as you choose. A simple pencil sketch is included with the initial free discussion. We are able to supply a digital layout, or a 3D Rendered version, although these two options are billable.
Labour costs are addressed when firm instruction is given and a deposit is taken. We provide clear, detailed quotes so you understand exactly what's included and can make informed decisions about your project.
Get in touch with us for a questionnaire and points to consider when planning your garden. This helps clarify your priorities, must-haves, and nice-to-haves before we begin the design process.
Beyond the design itself, we can handle the complete implementation of your garden project. From groundworks and drainage to paving, decking, fencing, planting, and finishing touches, we coordinate all elements to bring your vision to life.
Our experience across all aspects of landscaping means we understand how different elements work together. We know what's practical, what will last, and how to create gardens that genuinely improve how you live.
