Garden & Landscape Designer Surrey – Elegant Outdoor Spaces for Surrey Homes and Estates
We create elegant gardens for Surrey's beautiful homes and estates. From Arts and Crafts properties to contemporary country houses, our designs bring together classic English style with sustainable, wildlife-friendly principles.
Garden Design for Surrey Homes
Surrey's proximity to London means gardens here often need to work hard, providing escape and tranquillity within reach of the city. Whether you have a grand estate in the Surrey Hills, a family home in a commuter village, or a period property in one of the market towns, we create gardens that offer genuine connection with nature.
We understand Surrey's varied landscape, from sandy heathland to chalky downs, and design gardens that work with local conditions.
Our Approach
Our design philosophy balances elegance with ecology. Surrey has a strong garden heritage, and our work respects that tradition while ensuring gardens support wildlife and work sustainably.
If you appreciate classic country garden style with a modern ecological conscience, we share your outlook.

Country Gardens
A country garden design captures the essence of the countryside, blending natural planting, structured elements, and practical features to create a landscape that feels both inviting and effortlessly beautiful. Whether you're looking to design a sprawling traditional cottage garden, a wildlife-friendly retreat, or a more modern country garden, our expert team can create a space that enhances your rural home while reflecting the charm of the natural surroundings.
Kitchen Gardens
A kitchen garden design brings beauty and practicality together, offering a space where fresh herbs, vegetables, and fruit flourish right outside your door. Whether you have a sprawling countryside estate in Somerset, a traditional walled garden in Kent, or a modern edible landscape in Cornwall, a thoughtfully designed kitchen garden can enhance both your outdoor space and your lifestyle.
Front Gardens
Your front garden is the first impression your home makes, setting the tone for its overall aesthetic and ambiance. At Wild Butterfly Gardening, we specialize in crafting front garden designs that seamlessly blend beauty, functionality, and practicality. Whether you're looking to create a timeless and elegant entryway, a charming cottage-style retreat, or a sleek modern frontage, our expert team will bring your vision to life.
Entertaining Spaces
A well-designed outdoor entertaining space transforms a garden into an extension of the home—whether it’s a chic urban terrace in West London or a sprawling countryside retreat in Somerset. By incorporating architectural features such as outdoor kitchens, water features, seating areas, and pergolas, you can create a functional, stylish, and inviting space for social gatherings, family relaxation, and alfresco dining.

FAQs
Do you cover my area in Somerset or the South West?
We work across Somerset from our base near Glastonbury, including Wells, Frome, Taunton, Bath, Bristol, Bridgwater, Street, and surrounding villages throughout the Mendips and Somerset Levels. We also serve Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Wiltshire for larger projects. If you're unsure whether we cover your location, just ask — we'll give you a straight answer. Our full garden design service is available throughout the South West.
Can you design cottage gardens in Somerset?
Absolutely — cottage garden style suits many Somerset properties perfectly. Our approach balances the romantic abundance of traditional cottage planting with practical structure that keeps things manageable. We select plants that thrive in Somerset's conditions, create framework with evergreen hedging and paths, and design schemes that offer interest through all seasons. A cottage garden can look effortlessly natural while being thoughtfully designed for long-term success.
What are the best plants for clay soil?
Clay soil is challenging but surprisingly fertile once you work with it. Plants that thrive include: roses, geraniums, asters, Japanese anemones, hydrangeas, dogwoods, and ornamental grasses like Miscanthus. The key is improving drainage with organic matter and choosing plants that tolerate winter waterlogging. Avoid Mediterranean plants that need sharp drainage. Our planting plans are tailored to your specific soil conditions — we test and observe before recommending. Many London gardens and Somerset Levels properties sit on heavy clay, so this is something we navigate regularly.
Can you design Victorian terrace gardens in London?
Victorian terrace gardens are our speciality — we've transformed dozens across East London, North London, and throughout the capital. These long, narrow plots need careful planning to avoid the 'corridor' effect. Our designs create distinct zones, use clever planting to add width, and balance hard landscaping with greenery. We also specialise in Victorian front garden restoration, bringing period charm back to tired entrances with appropriate materials and planting.
What is the cost of a front garden makeover?
Front garden transformations typically range from £8,000-£25,000 depending on size, materials, and features. A Victorian front garden restoration with period-appropriate tiles, planting, and new pathway might be £10,000-£15,000. Our pricing page includes a project simulator to help you understand costs. Front gardens often deliver the best return on investment — they transform your home's first impression and can increase property value.
