Garden Design and Build in Surrey

Creating Beautiful, Sustainable Gardens Across Surrey

At Wild by Design, we are dedicated garden designers and expert landscapers in Surrey devoted to converting ordinary outdoor spaces into remarkable natural sanctuaries. As a leading Surrey country gardener, we collaborate intimately with our clients to comprehend their specific needs and the nuances of their outdoor environment. Through blending sophisticated design and habitat development, we create refined and practical spaces that surpass our clients’ aspirations whilst promoting stewardship of the local ecosystem, including the magnificent landscapes of the South Downs National Park.

Our garden design Surrey methodology starts with attentive consultation. We maintain that truly exceptional gardens mirror both their owners’ individuality and the essence of their environment. Whether you envision a complete garden metamorphosis or seek creative garden solutions for a particular space, our specialist team provides customised solutions aligned with your lifestyle, tastes, and the distinct characteristics of your location. As regional garden designers, we take pride in crafting stunning gardens throughout Surrey and the surrounding areas.

Design Process

Our garden design service ensures every element of your vision is captured and brought to life. We provide a thorough approach encompassing everything from initial concepts through to detailed construction documentation.

Phase 1 - Initial Design Concepts

Learn more

This phase begins when one of our Sussex-based designers visits your property to develop a detailed brief. We encourage you to think deeply about how you want to use your outdoor space before this meeting—whether you’re dreaming of a contemporary entertaining space in Hove, a wildlife-friendly garden in Lewes, or a formal landscape in Horsham.

Using drone photography captured during our initial visit, we’ll create a minimum of two concept sketches for your garden, accompanied by inspiring vision boards. These initial concepts will be shared with you within a week of our design meeting, giving you a first glimpse of your garden’s potential.

Phase 1 includes a second on-site meeting where your designer will review the concepts with you in person, ensuring we’ve captured your vision for your Sussex garden. This collaborative process helps establish a clear direction before moving forward. Following this meeting, we’ll provide a fixed price and timescale for the subsequent design phases.

Phase 2 - Detailed Design Development

Learn more

Once you’ve selected your preferred concept, we’ll develop a more detailed first draft design. This phase explores specific material choices—perhaps Sussex sandstone for a natural look, or contemporary materials for a modern coastal garden—and begins to outline planting schemes suited to your specific microclimate.

During this phase, we also dimension and detail specific elements or features, whether that’s a terraced garden solution for a sloping Eastbourne property or a wildlife pond for a rural West Sussex home. These designs will be shared digitally for your review, and if needed, we can arrange an in-person discussion to refine any details.

Phase 3 - Construction Documentation

Learn more

The final design phase delivers comprehensive construction drawings and specifications required for building your garden. This includes detailed planting schemes, material specifications, and technical details for landscape construction that account for Sussex conditions—from clay soils to coastal exposure.

This phase culminates in a handover meeting where your designer will introduce you to one of our construction management team who will become your main point of contact as the project transitions from design to build. This ensures continuity and clear communication throughout the process of creating your Sussex garden.

Landscaping without Design

Not every Surrey garden necessitates a comprehensive design service. For properties requiring a more subtle approach, our drone design option offers a more efficient solution. This is especially suitable for projects centred on softscaping modifications or straightforward garden renovation work in smaller Surrey properties. Utilising drone photography for precise site representation, we create concept sketches and vision boards that enable you to visualise your space’s potential without requiring a full design package.

Many Surrey garden projects don’t demand formal design. If you’re seeking specific enhancements such as a new patio for your townhouse in Reigate, fencing for your Epsom garden, decking for your Franham property, or the integration of water features in your Guildford home, we can provide complimentary, detailed quotations based on a clear scope of works. Our extensive portfolio of completed projects across Surrey enables us to showcase similar previous work, helping you imagine how these elements could complement your own garden.

By organising our design process in this manner, we aim to provide you with complete control while maintaining reasonable costs. There’s no requirement to advance through all phases if you’re content earlier in the process, and we ensure we don’t produce superfluous designs beyond your requirements.

Professional Garden Landscaping Services in Surrey

Our comprehensive garden landscaping services in Surrey encompass every element required to transform your garden aspirations into reality. As established landscaping professionals in Surrey, we take immense pride in delivering superior quality across all facets of garden construction. Our hardscaping proficiency extends to bespoke patio design and implementation using premium-grade materials, customised decking solutions perfect for outdoor entertaining and relaxation, distinctive water features ranging from tranquil ponds to modern fountains, and robust, aesthetically pleasing fencing solutions that ensure both privacy and security.

The softscaping aspect holds equal significance in our approach. Our meticulously designed planting schemes provide visual interest throughout the seasons, featuring carefully selected trees, shrubs, perennials, and ornamental grasses that create a harmonious and enchanting garden environment. We meticulously evaluate factors including soil composition, available light, and ongoing maintenance requirements to ensure your plantings not only create immediate impact but continue to flourish and evolve over the years.

The construction phase marks the exciting transformation of your garden project from concept to reality. Following the completion of your design, our expert construction teams bring your vision to fruition through precise landscape implementation. We recognise that embarking on a substantial construction project can appear overwhelming, which is why we emphasise transparent communication throughout your garden’s transformation. Our dedicated project managers provide consistent updates and detailed progress reports, ensuring your queries are addressed promptly and making your garden renovation as seamless as possible.

Our dedication to excellence is validated by our BALI (British Association of Landscape Industries) accreditation and comprehensive insurance coverage. At Wild by Design, we maintain that outstanding garden construction quality stems from a combination of technical proficiency, meticulous attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm for creating stunning outdoor environments.

Specialist Garden Features

While our primary focus centres on comprehensive garden design and construction, we also specialise in creating standalone garden features that can revolutionise your outdoor space. We take pride in our innovative approach and resourcefulness when crafting these distinctive garden elements. From practical installations to artistic features, our specialist additions bring character, functionality, and ecological benefits to any garden setting.

We thrive on challenging projects, so regardless of how complex or unique your concept might be, we’re eager to discuss it! Our expertise in specialised garden features includes:

Each garden room is individually crafted to your specifications, offering various choices for internal and external finishes.

Our garden rooms in Surrey are masterfully constructed by our in-house joinery team and specialist contractors, guaranteeing exceptional quality throughout.

Wildflower Meadows in Surrey

Learn more

The popularity of wildflower meadows has surged in recent years, and we’ve invested significant time in both installing and maintaining these essential ecological habitats. As certified installers of Wildflower Turf Ltd products, we can establish new meadow installations with proven effectiveness.

For existing spaces, we leverage our extensive expertise to develop comprehensive long-term management strategies for meadow restoration. These dynamic, ecologically significant areas introduce colour, movement, and enhanced biodiversity to your garden whilst demanding less intensive upkeep than conventional lawns.

Hedge Laying, Dead Hedging, and Living Willow Structures in Surrey

Learn more

Boundaries play a vital role in any outdoor setting. Utilising plants and organic materials for boundary creation offers significantly greater wildlife benefits compared to conventional fencing. We specialise in crafting living structures to meet any requirement, from traditional laid hedges that form dense, wildlife-friendly boundaries to innovative living willow structures that create natural garden rooms or play areas.

Dead hedging is an innovative approach to creating valuable wildlife habitats by repurposing pruned branches and garden materials into organised habitat piles. This sustainable practice not only provides essential shelter for local fauna but also offers an eco-friendly solution for garden waste management. These thoughtfully constructed natural boundaries serve as excellent alternatives to conventional fencing, significantly enhancing your garden’s ecological value whilst creating seamless connections with the surrounding landscape.

Natural Stonework in Surrey

Learn more

Drystone walls stand as remarkable features that combine aesthetic appeal with crucial ecological benefits, providing essential microhabitats for diverse invertebrates and reptiles. Throughout our years of practice, we’ve integrated natural and drystone walling into numerous design projects, continuously refining our expertise in this specialised traditional craft.

Our meticulously crafted stonework serves multiple purposes within garden landscapes, from establishing robust retaining walls on challenging sloped terrain to creating elevated planting beds or introducing decorative elements that enhance the garden’s visual appeal. Each wall is thoughtfully constructed using time-honoured techniques, ensuring both structural integrity and long-term durability.

Beyond the Build: Ongoing Support and Maintenance

We consider the completion of your garden construction as merely the beginning of an enduring partnership. Many of our clients opt to maintain this relationship through our comprehensive garden maintenance programmes, designed to preserve and enhance your outdoor space throughout the seasons. Our experienced teams provide expert services ranging from precise seasonal pruning and professional lawn maintenance to strategic planting updates and specialised technical garden care, ensuring your garden reaches and maintains its optimal potential.

Sustainability forms the cornerstone of our gardening philosophy, influencing every decision we make. We’re passionate about creating gardens that not only captivate visually but also actively support local ecosystems while minimising resource consumption. This ethos shapes our design approach and plant selection, emphasising indigenous species, implementing efficient rainwater harvesting systems, incorporating permeable surfaces for effective water management, and reducing chemical usage through intelligent design strategies. The outcome is a garden that combines stunning aesthetics with positive environmental impact.

For gardens requiring rejuvenation, our comprehensive renovation services provide an opportunity for transformation. We address various challenges, from inadequate drainage systems and outdated features to unsuccessful planting schemes, breathing fresh vitality into your outdoor space to create an environment that’s both aesthetically pleasing and practically functional.
