Steep, Hampshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

18 September 2014

“We have employed the services of Luke from Roeder Landscapes over the past two years in planting up new beds, a small orchard and for lawn maintenance We are very happy with the results. His designs took full consideration of our ideas and built on these with further options taking into account soil conditions and aspect. Great attention was paid to bed preparation prior to planting which ensured the best growing conditions. Work was carried out efficiently with the minimum of fuss. He is now in the process of planting a wild flower meadow for us.”

PCLandscapes Ltd

Steep, Hampshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

12 May 2015

“PC Landscapes have been amazing dealing with our garden. We have undertaken a huge project with approximately 3 acres of land that needs absolutely everything. PC landscapes have listen to our needs and have been able to design the garden to not only respect and compliment the architecture of our home but also they have taken into account that we have no knowledge of gardening and therefore they have simplified the process. I fully recommend this company. They are respectful, they listen to the brief and always happy to help. Regards Carla, Cranleigh”

Simon Orchard Garden Design

Steep, Hampshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

27 November 2016

“I used Simon to design the front and back garden of my Victorian London terrace house. I can't rate him highly enough, from the initial meeting where he listened to what I was after through to the designs, ideas and tendering process, he was professional throughout and a joy to work with. Having used a different company before on another project, I would always go back to Simon now. The final result looks amazing and my wife and I are very very happy with it.”

Garden Design Guru

Steep, Hampshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

4 September 2015

“Our project was to develop a medium-sized garden, four miles from the Sussex coast, which faces south-west and suffers strong winds, lethal for many plant species, Barry Chambers of Changing Scenes, of Bognor Regis, successfully designed a colourful garden of raised flower beds, mature trees, large shrubs, a vegetable and sitting area and a stone beach with seaside plants, creating a frame for views across fields and glorious sunsets. The work was put out to tender to about five firms, with husband and wife team Keymer Landscapes, of Barnham, Bognor Regis, who I would also recommend, selected. Barry Chambers' knowledge of plants, and their survival in these conditions, is excellent, as is his ability to explain his choices without pretension. The construction and gardening was hands-on supervised by Barry who regularly returns, post-project, to add plants and check the progress of the garden and its maintenance. Amanda Pearce, Highleigh, Chichester.”

Rebecca Webb Garden Designs

Steep, Hampshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

9 April 2016

“Rebecca met us to discuss our ideas, then proposed three alternative designs, for both the front and back gardens, each of which was true to our suggestions, but provided interesting elements of her own. We particularly appreciated her ideas for planting, as our knowledge was somewhat limited. At each step of the way, through landscaping to final planting and subsequent maintenance help, Rebecca was responsive, efficient and dedicated to quality results. She collaborated particularly well with the landscaper, and between them they produced results we are delighted with, to time, and to expected budget. We would highly recommend her services.”

Neil Jones Design

Steep, Hampshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

17 August 2016

“It was a pleasure to work with Neil who was able to bring our project design in within budget - despite it being tight - and well and truly exceeded our expectations. We had a basic idea of what we wanted but Neil brought flair and creativity to the design of our small, tired space. A year on and the garden is blossoming. We are so happy we chose Neil Jones Design, the neighbours have asked for his details.”

My Country Garden Design Solutions

Steep, Hampshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

1 October 2015

“Faith provided me with a design and plant sourcing service. My garden was tired and several older shrubs where really past their best. Faith gave me the confidence to remove and replace instead of trying to work around old plants she also pointed out areas in the garden that were just not working form a design point of you and why. Which helped me justify making some radical changes and completely re-work the garden layout. She also pointed out how the larger trees in the garden needed maintenance and with Faiths team the work was carried out quickly and efficiently But the thing I found really tough was trying to understand which plants to put where and how to create the style of garden i was aiming for. This is where Faith was amazing, her plant knowledge and understanding was superb, she was instantly able to identify the sort of plants that would work for my soil and shade, and how to lay out a plan that gave interesting foliage and colour from early spring right through to autumn. Her clever design has given me a focal point and interesting paths so I can really appreciate my garden from several angles. The planting plan has provided a flow and the colour palette is exactly as I wanted. I never really appreciated how important it was to have a nice garden until now and my husband and i look out everyday and love the new space that has been created. Thank you.”

Janet Bligh Garden Designs

Steep, Hampshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

29 August 2016

“Working with Janet was a really enjoyable experience. She was very good at taking time to understand our specific tastes and requirements. She came up with clear design principles, which developed into a thoughtful structure, accompanied by a well-planned planting scheme. Janet engaged thoroughly, discussing options, not foisting ideas on us, and she was great in making clear all the practical considerations. Janet has created a special garden that has quickly matured into a beautiful space that we love and enjoy every single day.”

Whatever your Steep, Hampshire garden looks like, and whatever its size, you can probably benefit from the services of a Steep, Hampshire garden designer or landscape architect. If you want to completely overhaul the look of your garden or perhaps just make some smaller changes but don’t know where to start, hiring a garden design professional in Steep, Hampshire is the first step. Not only can a landscape architect design a garden that a Chelsea award winner might be proud of, they can also completely change the value of your Steep, Hampshire home by looking at your landscape architecture as a whole. The work of a landscape architect serves much more than your garden; it makes the most of your outdoor space in a way that showcases your entire home. Landscape architects and garden designers do differ in the types of services they offer so it’s best to have some idea as to what you want to achieve before hiring a professional.

Do I need a garden designer or landscape architect?

Although there are similarities between both professions, there are some key differences which you will need to consider when choosing the right landscape architect or garden designer or firm for your job in Steep, Hampshire.

Depending on the scope of your project, you may need to hire a fully qualified Steep, Hampshire landscape architect and not a garden designer. Typically, a landscape architect would be needed for larger jobs that may involve structural changes or reconstructing the garden.

What is a landscape architect?

Much like architecture, surveying or accountancy, landscape architecture is a chartered profession. In order to become a fully fledged landscape architect, you will need to have a degree and need to study ‘on the job’ to qualify. Additionally you will need to be a member of a qualifying and regulation authority of the profession such as the Landscape Institute.

A landscape architect will handle all design, supply, construction and administrative elements of your garden or landscaping project. They will take into account your needs, the climate and unique advantages and constraints of the landscape architecture. Typically, work will be based on ecological and environmental considerations, and a garden will be planned not only to look its best but also to facilitate future maintenance and growth so that it continues to flourish. A landscape architect can also design any outdoor buildings that are to be featured in your garden. Everything from design blueprints through to the plants themselves should be provided by your landscape architect. If there is other architectural development taking place on your site, bring the landscape architect in as early as possible.

The expertise a landscape architect can apply to understanding your space and the natural environment could be vital to planning your project. Let your Steep, Hampshire landscape architect work closely with your architect, surveyor and any other contractors in order to develop landscape architecture that works with any other construction. This is important from a design perspective as well as on a practical level – changes to the grading of a landscape and modifications such as drainage can have serious implications on the viability of your land for extensive building and structural works. In order to resolve any planning permission issues, submit all applications for building and landscape architecture together, well ahead of the project.

What is a garden designer?

Garden designers will provide a complete service, including planting plans, hard landscape elements (paths, walls, paving, decking) and special features such as water features, lighting and garden furniture. A Steep, Hampshire garden designer can do design-only work for their clients and work with a garden contractor to finish the job or complete the whole thing themselves.

A garden designer has a different career path to a landscape architect so it is not essential to have a degree. Many garden designers will complete several courses to learn about their profession and to hone their skills - some will also eventually go on to become landscape architects.

The scope of garden designers, or landscape gardeners, is often more limited to green space projects which will optimise your existing outdoor space rather than altering the landscape architecture as a whole. Whereas landscape architects specialise in the structural aspect of garden planning and building, garden designers will carry out projects that are of aesthetic and horticultural value. Landscape gardeners will make your garden the best version of itself with features such as walkways, patios, water features, fences and lighting, as well as choosing the right plants, trees and flowers. The practical role of a garden designer may vary by firm – some offer just the plans, requiring a separate contractor, while others fulfil the project in its entirety, from conceptualisation of the landscape gardening to construction. Don’t be put off by the former if you happen to find a good garden designer that you like – he or she will have local industry connections to introduce you to quality, reliable gardening professionals with whom they have existing relationships. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of landscape architects & garden designers: Landscape Contractors, Garden & Landscape Supplies, Tree Services, Lawn & Sprinklers, Decks, Patios, Sheds & Summerhouses.

How do I choose good landscape architects or garden designers in Steep, Hampshire?

When choosing your Steep, Hampshire garden designer or landscape architect, be sure to research their qualifications and look at examples of their previous work. Any good garden professional will have a portfolio of previous projects which can be used to assess their skill level and whether or not their style is in line with ideas you may have. Once you have shortlisted or chosen your architect or designer, an on-site meeting is essential so they can see exactly what they’ll be working with. Stay briefed on all plans and developments, both before and during the project as a plan you approved previously may change during the course of the project. Be very clear on your budget – just like plans, costs may alter while work is underway so ensure your professional keeps you informed and does not incur additional expense without approval. If you are open-minded and budget-conscious, consider approaching new graduates keen for experience, who may negotiate a lower rate than more experienced professionals.
