Garden design
Garden design that starts with how you live
A clear, considered plan before anything is built, so your garden looks right, works well and stays within budget.
Our process
Five steps from idea to planting
- 1
Consultation
We meet at your garden to talk about how you use the space, what you love, what isn't working, and your budget.
- 2
Site survey
We measure up, note levels, drainage, soil, aspect and access, so the design works in the real world.
- 3
Concept
Initial layout ideas and a moodboard of materials and planting to agree the overall feel.
- 4
Master plan
A detailed scaled plan showing hard landscaping, levels, materials and structures, ready for an accurate quote.
- 5
Planting
A planting plan chosen for your soil, light and maintenance level, with year-round interest.

“Perry and his team transformed our garden from a high-maintenance, overgrown space into a beautiful, low-maintenance garden that works really well for our family. We wanted a safe space for our young children to play and enjoy.”
“Perfect - couldn't be happier with my garden! Perry and team worked miracles, turning an inaccessible, steep bank into a series of planted terraces with gravel paths and steps at either side, all in reclaimed, recycled, natural materials. Perry understood how I hoped the finished garden would look and I had complete confidence that he would do a brilliant job, but he has completely surpassed my expectations. Everyone on the job couldn't have been nicer to have on site and their work was of the highest standard. Can't recommend Stour Garden Services highly enough.”
“We had a fantastic experience working with Perry at Stour Garden Services. He helped us finalise the design of our garden, offering creative ideas and expert advice that really brought the project together.”
