How much does a full garden design and build cost in West Sussex?+
Every full garden project is priced after we visit and walk the space. Budget varies enormously depending on hard-landscaping, levels, retaining, planting and outdoor structures — we discuss budget openly at the first meeting before any design work begins. Free initial consultation.
How long does a full garden project take?+
Design phase 3–6 weeks. Build phase 4–12 weeks depending on scale. Total project elapsed time 3–6 months from first meeting to handover.
Do you offer just design without the build?+
Occasionally, yes — but our value is in the integrated delivery. Most design-only enquiries we redirect to specialist design practices.
Can you work around an extension or building project?+
Yes — we regularly sequence behind builders so the garden integrates with new architecture. Engaging us early lets us coordinate levels, drainage and access with the builders.
What about ongoing maintenance?+
We offer a paid seasonal maintenance programme — pruning, planting refresh, lighting servicing, pressure washing — to protect your investment.
Do you handle planning applications?+
For structures requiring planning (garden offices over permitted-development limits, etc.) we coordinate with a local planning consultant and include their fee in the quote.
Are you insured for garden design work in West Sussex?+
Yes — £5m public liability and £5m employers' liability insurance. We'll happily share the certificate before you sign. Every job comes with a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If something's down to our work, we'll come back and put it right. What it can't cover is the stuff outside our control once we've packed up and gone (like a slab getting chipped by a dropped plant pot). If it's our workmanship, it's covered.
Do you give written quotes for garden design?+
Yes. We price every garden design job after seeing it — either an in-person visit or photos with accurate measurements. Quotes are free and back to you the same or next day. We don't publish fixed prices online because every job is different.
How do I pay?+
Cash or bank transfer. A small booking fee (around £50) holds your spot in the diary. A 50% deposit is due about a week before we start, with the remaining 50% on completion. No large upfront deposit.
Are you open at weekends?+
Yes — we're open 7 days a week and respond same day, whichever day you call.
How quickly can you start a garden design project?+
Garden design work is typically scheduled within a few weeks of accepting the quote, sometimes sooner for smaller jobs. We work year-round.
Do you work outside Littlehampton?+
Yes — we regularly work in Worthing, Angmering, Chichester, Lancing, Rustington, East Preston, Brighton and the wider West Sussex. Postcode confirms eligibility in seconds on the phone.
