Garden Features

Whilst the bulk of our work is whole garden design and build, we also undertake standalone garden features. We pride ourselves in our creativity and ingenuity when it comes to garden elements.

We love a challenge so however tricky or unusual it might be, we would love to hear from you!

Bespoke Garden Rooms in Surrey

Whether you are looking for a garden office, a stylish new garage, studio space, a home gym or just an additional living space connected to the garden in Surrey, we can design and construct a garden room uniquely tailored to your needs. 

Each one of our garden rooms is individually designed to your specification – with various options for internal and external fit out. Our garden rooms are expertly constructed by our inhouse joiners and specialist contractors.  

In many cases we can design your garden room to fall outside of planning regulations or if you want to go big we can cover the planning process for you too. 

Below are a few examples of the wide range of garden buildings we have completed in the past ranging from green-roofed bike workshops to extensive luxury oak framed buildings. 

Whether your garden room is a standalone project or an integrated part of your garden design and build with us, we will design and build you your dream outdoor structure.

Pergolas and open structures in Surrey

At Wild by Design, we create bespoke pergolas, gazebos and open garden structures that bring natural beauty, functionality, and character to your outdoor space. Based in Surrey and working across the South East, we specialise in crafting distinctive, handcrafted timber structures that elevate the landscape around them.

What’s the Difference Between a Pergola and a Gazebo?

While both structures are open-sided, a gazebo typically has a fixed roof, often domed or pitched, offering full overhead shelter. A pergola, on the other hand, features an open or partially covered roof that can support climbers or shading systems, allowing filtered light and airflow.

Bespoke Timber, Metal & Driftwood Pergolas

Whether you prefer the rustic elegance of oak-framed pergolas, the natural curves of New Zealand driftwood, or the contemporary sleekness of powder-coated steel, we work with a diverse palette of materials to suit your aesthetic and practical needs. Our team has installed a wide variety of open structures, ranging from minimalist frames to complex designs with integrated shade and weather protection.

Tailored Designs With Shading Solutions

From tensioned wire shading systems to integrated polycarbonate or metal roofing, our pergolas offer year-round usability. Whether you envision a dining space, garden retreat, or entertaining zone, we bring together landscaping and carpentry expertise to deliver a structure that fits both your lifestyle and the setting.

Wildflower Meadow Installation in Surrey

Wildflower meadows have become increasingly popular over the past few years and we have spent a lot of time installing and managing these vital habitats. We are accredited installers of Wildflower Turf Ltd products for new installations; or we can use our wealth of experience to create a long term management plan for existing meadow restorations.

Why Choose a Wildflower Meadow?

More than just visually striking, a wildflower meadow is a living ecosystem. It brings seasonal colour, attracts butterflies, bees and birds, and requires less upkeep than a manicured lawn. Whether you’re rewilding part of a large estate or introducing meadow-style planting into a compact garden, we create meadows that are ecologically resilient and artistically composed.

Our Wildflower Meadow Services

We manage every stage of the meadow-making process, from soil to bloom:

1. Site Assessment

Every successful meadow begins with understanding the land. We evaluate light, soil type, drainage, and existing vegetation to find the most suitable areas – full sun and free-draining soil are ideal.

2. Soil Preparation

Once the location is chosen, we clear turf or invasive plants, reduce soil fertility if necessary, and cultivate the ground to encourage seed establishment without competition.

3. Seed Selection

We work exclusively with high-quality native seed mixes, tailored to your site and aesthetic goals. Whether you want a pastel-hued pollinator haven or a riot of colour through summer, we guide you in choosing the right species blend – with options for annual or perennial displays.

4. Planting & Establishment

Our team ensures your seed mix is evenly distributed and properly sown, using techniques that maximise germination and discourage weeds. We also offer plug planting for early colour or targeted biodiversity gains.

5. Maintenance & Aftercare

Wildflower meadows are low maintenance – but not no maintenance. We’ll advise on the right mowing regimes, weed control and seasonal interventions to keep your meadow healthy and flourishing year after year.

Natural stonework in Surrey

At Wild by Design, our natural stonework is built to endure—and made to be admired. Working across Surrey, Epsom and Dorking, we create handcrafted stone features that blend seamlessly into the landscape while standing out for their beauty and precision.

Whether you’re restoring a boundary wall, building new dry stone features, or incorporating stone into a contemporary garden, we offer design-led stonework that respects the heritage of the material while aligning with your vision.

Our Stonework Services Include:

  • Dry Stone Walling – Time-honoured technique, no mortar, just expert placement and lasting strength.

  • Mortared Stone Walls – Built for longevity, perfect for retaining structures or statement boundaries.

  • Flint & Traditional Walling – Ideal for rural or period properties in the Surrey Hills and beyond.

  • Stone Steps, Paths & Edging – Form and function, designed to guide, frame and anchor garden spaces.

  • Water Features & Basins – Using stone’s natural elegance to bring sound and movement into the garden.

  • Pond Surrounds & Stone Seating – Adding comfort and interest to tranquil spaces.

  • Architectural Stone Details – Arches, porticos, and ornamental work crafted with finesse.

Materials We Work With

We source and work with a wide range of natural stone, including:

  • Yorkstone, limestone, slate, granite and flint

  • Locally reclaimed materials where available for added character

  • Cotswold and Sussex stone for regionally sympathetic builds

Looking for something more unusual? We can source specific colours and finishes to suit your brief.

From Restoration to Reimagination

We don’t just build new—we repair, rebuild and restore existing stone features that have weathered over time. Whether it’s repointing, cleaning, or matching historic work, our team ensures the results are both structurally sound and visually faithful.

Hedge laying, dead hedging and living willow structures in Surrey

Boundaries are so important in a outdoor environment. Using plant and/or plant material to create your boundaries is much more beneficial to wildlife than a traditional fencing. We can craft living structures to suit any need so don’t hesitate to get in touch to create your new living structure.
