Yes, Bath and Bristol are core areas we serve from our Somerset base near Glastonbury. Bath's Georgian properties and Bristol's diverse architecture each present unique opportunities for garden design. We understand the planning considerations in conservation areas, work with Bath's distinctive limestone, and create gardens that complement these cities' architectural heritage. From compact city courtyards to larger suburban gardens, we design spaces that suit urban South West living.

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.

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.

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.

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.
