Garden Design Fees

I don’t charge for informal phone conversations, email exchanges, or video calls, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch, I’ll help if I can!

Every project is different. I need to listen to your requirements and likely see your site to be able to give an accurate fee estimate. As a guide though…

  • Garden design consultation: Fees start at £240 for an initial site visit, followed up within 5 working days by a feasibility statement and fee proposal.

  • Bespoke planting design for existing beds: Fees range from £2.50 to £50 per sq m depending on the area to be designed and the challenges your site presents, plus the initial consultation fee.

  • Full garden redesign: Concept designs start at £960 plus the initial consultation fee - please see below for more in depth information regarding fees for services offered as part of the full redesign process.

  • Bespoke design follow-up: Follow-up after your project has been completed, is tailored entirely to your needs and so bespoke fees are calculated based on my hourly rate.

  • Charities and community gardens: If you are a charity or would like help creating a community garden, please get in touch to see what we can work out.
