We create beautiful, wildlife-friendly gardens in Frome and across East Somerset. Our garden designs bring together sustainable principles with timeless style, creating outdoor spaces that enhance your home and support local biodiversity.
Garden Design for Frome Homes
Frome has become one of Somerset's most creative towns, attracting people who value independent thinking, craftsmanship, and connection with nature. Our approach to garden design fits right in.

Let's Talk
We would love to hear about your garden. Get in touch and let's discuss what's possible.
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.
Meadow Gardens
A meadow garden design offers a breathtaking, naturalistic approach to landscaping, bringing movement, texture, and biodiversity to your outdoor space. Whether you want to replace a traditional lawn with a wildflower meadow or introduce a pollinator-friendly habitat into your garden, meadow planting can transform your landscape into a thriving, low-maintenance oasis.
Courtyard Gardens
A well-designed courtyard garden transforms even the most compact outdoor space into a stylish and tranquil retreat. Whether you have a small urban courtyard, a Victorian terrace courtyard, or a modern enclosed garden, the right courtyard garden design enhances privacy, maximizes space, and brings greenery into your home.
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.
Sustainable Gardens
A well-designed sustainable garden transforms an outdoor space into a thriving, eco-friendly sanctuary—whether it’s a contemporary urban retreat, a classic English garden, or a biodiverse wildlife haven. Our bespoke garden design services prioritise sustainability, using drought-resistant planting, permeable materials, and wildlife-friendly features to create beautiful yet low-maintenance gardens across London, Bath, Bristol, Sussex, Cornwall, Kent, and Surrey.

FAQs
Do you work in Wells, Frome, and the Mendips?
Yes — Wells, Frome, Shepton Mallet, and the Mendip villages are within easy reach of our Glastonbury base. The Mendips present particular opportunities for garden design: the limestone soil drains freely and suits Mediterranean-style planting, while the elevation creates distinct microclimates. We know which plants thrive in these conditions and can recommend local stone suppliers for authentic landscaping that complements the area's character.
Why work with a local Somerset garden designer?
Somerset's geology creates dramatically different growing conditions within short distances. We know which plants will struggle in waterlogged clay on the Levels and which will thrive in thin soil over Mendip limestone. Local knowledge prevents expensive mistakes, ensures your planting scheme establishes well, and means we can recommend trusted local suppliers and contractors. From our Glastonbury base, we've built relationships with Somerset's best landscapers, nurseries, and craftspeople — connections that benefit every garden transformation we undertake.
How much does garden design cost in Somerset?
Our garden consultation service starts at £400 for a half-day session with our RHS-qualified designer. Border renovation projects begin at £1,100, while full garden design packages start from £3,000. For complete design and build projects in Somerset, budgets typically start around £17,500 for smaller gardens, with larger or more complex country garden projects requiring proportionally more investment. We're always happy to discuss your budget openly and suggest approaches that deliver the best value — and projects can be phased over time to help manage costs.
How long does a garden project take in Somerset?
Timescales vary depending on scope. A garden consultation can happen within a few weeks of enquiry. Design projects typically take 6-12 weeks from briefing to final plans, including 3D visualisations and detailed planting schemes. Build phases depend on scale and contractor availability — a courtyard garden might take 2-3 weeks to construct, while a larger country garden transformation could run to 8-12 weeks. We'll give you realistic timelines during the design process.
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.
