Comment COST below to see what your dream garden would cost.
This one’s a full redesign for a much-loved family home in Hertfordshire.
Our clients wanted a garden that felt effortless to use and just as enjoyable to spend time in as the house itself.
Space to cook and entertain, a plunge pool to enjoy year-round, a covered pergola, and plenty of open lawn for the kids.
It also needed a new driveway, boundaries, and planting to pull everything together with the architecture and create a space that’s impressive to look out onto from the house.
At just over 800 square metres, the concept balances structure with softness. Porcelain terraces, hardwood decking, a generous outdoor kitchen and dining space with overhead cover from the elements, and planting that stays interesting through the seasons.
The current cost for the full landscape build is around £315,000 plus VAT (£378,000 inc VAT). That includes everything from site preparation, groundworks, drainage and waste removal through to all labour, materials and installation, covering every element required to bring the design to life.
Two elements not yet included are lighting and irrigation, which will be developed during the next design phase, with an estimated additional cost of £25,000 to £32,000 for both.
A classic contemporary garden designed for real family life, showing just how much can be achieved when every detail is carefully planned from the start and adding lasting value to both the way a home feels and how it’s lived in 🌿
