Our gardens are abundant and atmospheric, rich in planting and full of life. We always start from the specifics of a site, its architecture and the way our clients want to live, so no two projects look the same. But there is a consistent thread: our landscapes feel generous, layered, and deeply connected to their setting.
‘Basic cost bands (as per 2025)’
It’s not possible to accurately cost a garden without a design to work from; however, we have some basic cost bands that we call upon when having initial discussions with our clients about budgets. Some of the main factors impacting costs are: access restrictions (moving through house vs large side access), scale (urban courtyard vs country estate), quantity of bespoke items (e.g. water features or custom storage solutions), choice of materials, size of plants used.
Band 1: £150-600 /m2
Band 2: £600-1,200 /m2
Band 3: £1,200-2,000+ /m2
* The above cost bands are to be used as a loose guide only and we cannot take responsibility for variances in actual costs.
We always aim to work to our clients' timelines and can accommodate a faster or slower process where possible, so please do let us know your preference. Generally, Stage One outline design takes 4 weeks from the point of being commissioned and receiving a survey to delivering the design. We typically allow 6 weeks for Stage Two detail design with additional time for the tender process if required. Each project is unique so these timeframes are guides and the design process can be quicker or take longer depending on the scale and complexity of the project. Once the design is complete then the timescale of the build will be led by the schedule of the appointed contractor, unless the design is primarily soft landscaping and can be enacted in-house. We endeavour to have initial conversations with our preferred landscape contractors early on in the design process to ensure they are prepared to quote for the works.

Abundance works at any scale. A small courtyard or roof terrace can feel as rich and atmospheric as a large garden when the planting is layered and every surface is considered. Some of our most immersive projects have been in the smallest spaces.

Our approach to sustainability is embedded in the way we design, not added on top. Abundant, ecologically informed planting creates resilient plant communities that need less input and support more life. We source materials locally, minimise waste, and design gardens that become richer and more established over time.

Our planting creates an enhanced, more abundant form of nature. We take inspiration from natural plant communities (woodland, meadow, steppe, coast) and intensify them: more layers, more texture, a longer season of interest. The approach is ecological at its core, which means planting that establishes quickly, needs less input, and becomes richer over time.

Low-maintenance gardens need to consider every element of the space and design this thinking in from the beginning. As a core principle, we create low input yet highly impactful gardens so our planting design is founded in ecological principles and our material selection is considerate of environmental conditions and desired maintenance regime.
That’s what we’re here for. Our job as designers, and our duty to you as a client, is to maximise the budget and achieve as much as possible with the available resources. Involving us early on in the process can help to save costs in the long run, through resourceful or innovative design we can cut costs during the build. In particular, if you’re planning on reimagining the landscape or garden as part of a wider development or home improvement, involving us in initial discussions can result in significant savings.
It's a myth that you need to give over your space to wildlife. Abundant, layered planting naturally creates habitat, food, and resources for the wildlife around you. Our gardens are designed as ecosystems: they connect with the wider landscape and bring more life into the space, not less. The result is a garden that's richer for you and for everything else that uses it.
