Frequently Asked Questions

Designs for all Seasons offers three core services to suit different budgets and project requirements:
Garden Consultation: A focused on-site visit providing professional advice on layout, planting, materials and next steps. Ideal for clients seeking guidance without committing to a full design package.
Concept Design: Our concept design service provides a complete spatial garden design and planting concept, without the detailed construction drawings and technical specifications included in our full design service.
Full Garden Design: A comprehensive service from concept through to detailed drawings, planting plans and coordination during the build phase, ensuring the design is fully realised with care and precision.
Designs for all Seasons works across Surrey, South West London, and Kent, including Guildford, Esher, Farnham, Richmond, Barnes, Faversham, Whitstable and Canterbury.
In-person consultations are available within these regions, and a remote design service is offered for clients further afield.
The cost of garden design is typically around 10-15% of the total project cost, with additional expenses for plants and project management.
The overall cost of a garden are influenced by factors like size, access, material selection, site complexity and percentage of hard landscape vs soft. The cost of landscaping generally falls between £250–£350 per square metre.
The timeline for designing and building a garden varies depending on its size and complexity. The design process alone typically takes 1-3 months, allowing time for consultations, concept development, revisions, and final plans.
Once the design is complete, the construction phase can take anywhere from 6 to 18 weeks, but can extend significantly depending on factors such as the scope of work, materials, and weather conditions. In many cases, elements of the design phase, such as sourcing materials or finalising planting plans, can overlap with the build, helping to streamline the process.
