Create the garden that you’ve always wanted
Starting from scratch is an exciting way to make the most of your garden – the transformation is dramatic and hugely rewarding. It can also be daunting and we can help you through the process. This is your opportunity to create the garden you’ve always wanted. Perhaps you’d like a traditional cottage garden? Or a contemporary idyll? Or just a practical, beautiful place to relax? From intimate urban courtyards to extensive rural gardens, at Alison Penny Garden Design, we can help bring your ideas to life.
We can oversee every stage of the process, which may include:
- Surveying your garden
- Providing scaled drawings
- Managing the tender process for any landscaping work
- Monitoring work undertaken
- Assistance with planning/listed building applications
- Planting
- Sourcing furniture, pots, sculpture and lighting.
Gardens on small to medium suburban plots typically cost £20,000 to £40,000 to build.
Our lovely garden was once a building site…
“After finishing a kitchen extension, which trashed the lawn near the house, we decided to completely overhaul our small garden. Our children were past the sand-pit-and-climbing-frame stage, so Alison gave us the courage to do away with the scruffy lawn, and we’re so glad we did. The garden looks much bigger and my husband loves not being a slave to the mower! The borders are bursting with the cottage garden flowers I love, and the little herb garden by the kitchen door works really well.”
