Karen Rogers at KR Garden Design

Totton, Hampshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

9 August 2015

“Karen, the designer at KR Designs turned my small unpromising London Garden from an unappealing 'car park' into a beautiful courtyard sanctuary. It involved a lot of structural work with new London stock bricks and paving. The work was carried out without a hitch and completed on schedule and her ideas and input transformed the space. Her horticultural knowledge is impressive and her plant selection was perfect. I would recommend her company to anyone.”

Simon Orchard Garden Design

Totton, 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.”

Neil Jones Design

Totton, Hampshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

“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.

Elks-Smith Landscape and Garden Design

Totton, Hampshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

25 August 2016

“Helen Elks-Smith came to visit our garden on a very rainy day. After quite a long discussion on what we wanted to achieve, she then sat outside for almost two hours trying to understand what she could do to make our garden work within the harbour surroundings. She produced some initial drawings and made several suggestions that we had not considered and inevitably expanded the scope of what we were trying to do. Helen then arranged for other Companies to come in and build the garden and do the planting out. She made frequent visits along the way to make sure that everything was right for us. It was more than alright it was absolutely superb and she managed to interpret everything that we wanted and created an absolute triumph. We are truly delighted with what she and her Company have created, a legacy for the future.”

“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.”

Ed&Dale Garden Design Dorset & South Hams

Totton, Hampshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

25 September 2019

“Graham has transformed a very scruffy, unloved and unusable space into a spacious, secure private parking area, leading seamlessly into a beautifully landscaped, south-facing garden and making the most of a stunning view over Bournemouth's Upper Gardens which appear to be a continuation of my garden to the horizon. At the same time, he has sensitively incorporated features to make the garden and my flat wheelchair accessible with secure covered parking and charging point for my mobility scooter and a suntrap deck accessible from my living room. I commend Graham for his insight and attention to detail and supervision of the works and could not be more pleased with the resulting creation as it nears completion.”

Whatever your Totton, Hampshire garden looks like, and whatever its size, you can probably benefit from the services of a Totton, 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 Totton, 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 Totton, 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 Totton, Hampshire.

Depending on the scope of your project, you may need to hire a fully qualified Totton, 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 Totton, 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 Totton, 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 Totton, Hampshire?

When choosing your Totton, 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.
