Benefits

People increasingly recognise the value of gardens and outdoor spaces. Not only are they pleasant places to entertain, relax and grow your favorite plants, but they can also bring the bonus of financial benefit. A well-designed garden can make your property more appealing and could add value to it - the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors puts this figure as possibly up to 5% of the total property value.

For the new or inexperienced gardener, creating a useful and attractive garden can be time-consuming, frustrating and costly. A garden designer can prevent this new experience becoming a daunting process of disappointed expectations.

A well-trained and qualified garden designer will use technical knowledge, a wealth of botanical experience and creative instincts to incorporate all of your desired functions into a garden that is practical and pleasurable. They can also help prevent costly mistakes in the process.
