3D Garden Design

At western landscapes and garden design, we specialise in residential landscaping and garden design. With over 30  years of experience, Neil and his handpicked team of experts in soft and hard landscaping deliver creative, high-quality outdoor spaces tailored to your lifestyle. From concept to completion, we guide you through every stage of the design and build process.

🌱 Our Garden Design Process

1. Client Brief

The first stage begins with an in-depth consultation where you share your ideas, requirements, and style preferences. We discuss budgets, planning permissions (if required), design fees, and timelines. From this, we create a Design Proposal that outlines the brief, concept overview, and fees — ensuring we fully understand your vision.

2. Garden Survey

We carry out a detailed survey of your existing garden, recording levels, boundaries, trees, utilities, and access points. Photographs and site drawings help us plan retaining walls, excavation, and layouts, ensuring the design is tailored to your space.

3. Design Detailing

We provide detailed construction drawings to help you visualise complex features such as stairs, terraces, seating areas, and bespoke elements. This stage may also include lighting schematics and elevation drawings for complete clarity.

4. 3D Visualisation

Our 3D computer-generated models show your garden design from multiple angles, including views from inside the house. These visuals demonstrate flow, planting styles, materials, and lighting effects — helping you picture the final result before construction begins.

5. Master Plan

The Master Plan is the final, detailed blueprint of your new garden. It includes all measurements, specifications, and construction details needed to bring the design to life. With our integrated Design & Build service, we can also provide accurate cost estimates as we move through the design stage.

💷 Garden Design Fees

Our design fees are highly competitive and tailored to each project. Fees are typically offered as either a flat rate or a percentage of the build cost, depending on project size and complexity.

• Typical design fees: £400 – £2,000

• Small, intensive designs (like roof terraces or courtyards) may require more design input.

• Larger family gardens often require less design time but bigger build budgets.

We’ll always discuss fees transparently during the brief so you know exactly what to expect.

🔨 Estimate, Project Management & Build

Once the design is agreed, we provide an itemised estimate broken into clear categories (e.g., fencing, decking, patios). We often include multiple cost options, allowing you to compare materials and finishes to suit your budget.

Every project includes:

• Transparent costs with options

• Clear project timelines and key milestones

• Professional project management from start to finish

• Terms & conditions outlining both client and contractor responsibilities
