Most families want a shared space where they can relax, dine and play. A territory claimed by both groups, children and adults. The resulting space needs to work hard at balancing the needs and desires of all. Allow us to unlock the potential of your space.
What to consider when designing a family garden.
Who will use the garden and how will they use it. If you have children who love to play football and trampoline material surfaces will need to be robust and space allocated to these activities. We have a range of turfing or artifical grass which work well. Robust play equipment like sunken trampolines.
Allocating a restful zone for parents to sit and relax whilst supervising younger children. When the children head off to bed the garden becomes a haven for the grown-ups. Tranquil lighting and the gentle burblings of a water feature allow you to relax at the end of the day. Water is a natural way to allow the body to relax.
Successful family gardens consider all who will use the space and how the garden will change as children grow. Play equipment could be replaced with a wildlife area including a pond or a space for teenagers to relax. Robust planting that can withstand rough treatment from kids and animals is essential. A dining area where all can enjoy an alfresco family meal on a summers evening is something to look forward to.

If you would like your garden redesigned by our Design team, simply complete the enquiry form or call the team today. No fees are charged for an initial chat or for most initial site meetings. We will prepare you a written “Design Fee Proposal” prior to proceeding with any charges to you.
So firstly, we will need a little bit of your time to find out a little about your ideas, then we would look to arrange an Initial Site Meeting with one of our designers, at a time convenient to you, preferably at the site location or to view drawings of developing scheme projects. At the meeting, we will listen to your requirements, then suggest the some ideas and provide advice for your project. This will take approximately one hour of your time.
Once we understand your Design requirement, we will submit a Design Fee Proposal for you to consider with no obligation, this will state our Design Fees and the stages of design work we will carry out for you. Our service is tailored to suit you, your home and your requirements so your Design Fee proposal will specify the correct type of survey required, whether you will need to invest into an optional Concept Design stage, and the appropriate stages of the process.
Each Design Package offers the most suitable survey type, a client brief, a conceptual stage if required, finally we will create a large format Master Design together with a Garden Installation Quotation & Specification to construct the new design.
We also provide planning guidance for all projects that require local authority or other permissions.
