Horticulturally led care for the gardens, country homes and estates of Surrey, from a design-and-build studio based in Dorking.
Our garden maintenance Surrey contracts are tailored to each site — a town garden in Dorking has different needs to a country estate in the Surrey Hills, and we adjust visit frequency, team size, and task list accordingly.
Seasonal garden maintenance is built into every contract we offer — spring bulb management, summer hedge and lawn programmes, autumn leaf clearance and planting, and winter structure work are all planned at the start of the year so nothing gets missed.
A garden maintenance contract with Wild by Design gives you a named team, a fixed annual price, and a detailed schedule — no surprise invoices, no different faces turning up each week, and no having to remember to book in seasonal tasks.
Lawn care Surrey-wide is one of the most requested elements of our maintenance programmes — from scarifying and overseeding in autumn to seasonal feeding, edging, and mowing at the right height for the time of year.
Our seasonal garden maintenance checklist breaks down exactly what needs doing month by month — and if reducing the overall workload is the goal, our guide to low maintenance garden ideas for Surrey homes is a good starting point before any contract is agreed.
Our estate maintenance in Dorking team handles larger private grounds across Surrey and Sussex, while garden fencing and garden lighting installation in Surrey are both available as standalone services alongside the core horticultural programme.
For a practical month-by-month breakdown of what a well-maintained Surrey garden needs, our garden jobs in May guide is a good example of the seasonal detail our team follows and shares with clients throughout the year.
For garden maintenance Surrey homeowners can rely on week in, week out — from regular lawn and border care in town gardens to full estate grounds — our Dorking-based horticultural team covers the whole county, and every new maintenance client starts with a free habitat assessment so the care plan works with the wildlife already in your garden.
Two jobs often come before regular care begins: our garden clearance team reclaims overgrown plots, and our tree surgery team handles crown work, felling, and TPO checks on established trees.
For larger properties, our grounds and estate maintenance team works to annual contracts across private estates, country houses and commercial grounds in Surrey and Sussex.
Hedges are usually the biggest single job on a maintenance round — our hedge cutting team handles formal, native, conifer and estate hedges across Surrey.
