FAQs

Everything you need to know about sustainable gardens

What makes a garden “sustainable”?

A sustainable garden uses design and materials that reduce environmental impact — from reusing resources and managing water naturally, to supporting biodiversity with native planting and pollinator-friendly habitats.

Do you only work in Kent?

We’re based in Rochester and primarily serve clients across Kent and the South East, but we occasionally take on special projects further afield.

Can you design and build my garden from start to finish?

Yes. Our integrated team covers every stage — from design and landscaping to planting and long-term care — ensuring consistency, accountability, and results that last.

What if I already have a design but need help building or maintaining it?

No problem. We regularly collaborate with other designers and can handle the build, planting, and ongoing maintenance while keeping sustainability front and centre.

Do you design for small gardens as well as large estates?

Absolutely. Whether it’s a compact urban courtyard or a multi-acre landscape, our approach adapts to your space, budget, and sustainability goals.

Can you include rainwater management or SUDS features?

Yes — we specialise in SUDS, rainwater gardens, and nature-based drainage systems that reduce flooding, improve soil health, and boost plant resilience.

How soon can we start?

After an initial consultation, we’ll provide a clear proposal and project timeline. Our schedule varies seasonally, so early planning is always a good idea.

How much does it cost?

It depends on what you need — best to jump on a quick call so I can get clarity on the right solution, then I’ll give you a clear idea of the investment.

How do your design services work?

We start with a consultation to understand your goals, style, and budget. After a site visit, our designers create a tailored plan that balances beauty, function, and sustainability. Once approved, our in-house team can manage the full build and ongoing care, keeping the whole process seamless.

How are you sustainable as a company?

Sustainability is built into everything we do — from using zero-emission tools and recycled materials to designing with native, pollinator-friendly plants. We prioritise waste reduction, material reuse, long-term biodiversity gains, and nature-based solutions like SUDS and rainwater gardens.
