What We Do
Envisage offers a professional, high quality, comprehensive landscape design and build service.
From your initial discussion with us, we will guide you through the garden design process, advise on materials, costs, navigate the maze of Latin plant names, and deliver the completed landscaping project on budget.
Our Designers have extensive horticultural experience, supported by sound training in landscape design principles and over 30 years practical working knowledge in the landscaping and construction of gardens.
Your garden will be built by experienced teams to ensure a high quality finish. Our landscapers are skilled in ground-works, brick and stone work, paving and carpentry, supported by specialists if required, and then trained horticulturists will plant up your garden.
Envisage can assist you with planning permission applications if needed. And if your project requires a qualified tree surgeon or a structural engineer, we can engage them as appropriate.
The joint aim of our Designers and Landscapers is to help you achieve your landscaping project as smoothly and effectively as possible.
Landscape Design
Our Design Team does not have a particular 'style'. We listen to you, the client, taking note of how you want to enjoy your outdoor spaces. We believe that the garden should complement both your lifestyle and your house, look comfortable in its immediate setting, and blend harmoniously with the surrounding landscape.
Our most popular Landscape Design service is our 'start to finish' complete design and build service. However, our Designers can also a pure design service to produce a set of construction and/or planting plans.
For a further explanation of these different design routes, please see our guide to The Design and Build Process.
Landscape Construction
At Envisage, we have our own in-house team of qualified and dedicated professional hard- and soft-landscaping experts. Our garden construction teams are highly skilled craftsmen with many years’ experience; bricklayers, natural stone workers, carpenters and horticulturists, who posses the abilities to build a beautiful landscape just for you. Our clients have been delighted with the gardens and public spaces that we have been producing since 1986.
Tendering
We welcome the opportunity to tender for design-only, design & build, or build-only (if you are already in possession of plans that you wish to have implemented) domestic or public realm contracts.
Show gardens
We have built 24 medal-winning show stands, including the "Most Creative Exhibit" trophy at RHS Malvern 2012, a Gold Medal at RHS Chelsea 2019, and the "Peoples Choice Award" at RHS Tatton 2019.
Please do get in touch if you wish to explore having a show garden designed and/or built for promotions or charitable causes.
Horticultural Consultancy
Our Designers use their expert plant knowledge to create beautiful, living works of art that will bloom throughout the year; delivering riots of colour or soothing backdrops for you to enjoy.
We encourage our clients to get as involved with as much of the design of their gardens as they feel comfortable with; our Designers will always consult with you to ensure that you are getting the colours and textures that suit your personal tastes.
The correct selection, establishment and care of plants is the backbone of any successful landscape design. We source all of our plants from our own nursery or from specialist growers across the country for rare species or exclusive varieties that you can't find in a garden centre! We also offer you the services of our planting team who can undertake the labour-intensive task for you of replanting a border or an entire garden.
We also offer one-off horticultural consultations for personal advice. If you find that your existing garden design is in need of a refresh, then please do get in touch. During our Garden Visits, one of our horticulturists will be able to give tailored, expert advice on-site at your location, and can then follow up with a maintenance visit to help you achieve your goals.
Landscape Maintenance
We strongly advise our clients to enlist the help of a skilled landscape maintenance team to ensure that their investment is managed correctly.
Envisage's Landscape Maintenance team offer a year-round or one-off garden maintenance service to ensure your garden reaches its full potential.
So much more than just gardeners, our Horticultural Technicians are skilled horticulturists with the knowledge and ability to undertake complex and sensitive plant cultivation techniques at the appropriate time of year. Plants are living beings, so you need to be sure that they are in safe hands.
Existing and new clients are welcome to make use of our Maintenance Team, whether you have had a garden designed by us or not. Please send us a message to enquire about this service.
One-off appointments or regular maintenance visits are available.
The Design and Build Process
We follow the recognised industry standard method for designing and costing a landscape project. Once you initiate the process, we make the rest happen for you.
The same process is followed, be it for a town courtyard or a 10 acre country estate, but it is flexible and can be tailored to your requirements.

How much does a landscape design cost?The cost of a landscape design varies depending on the scope and complexity of the project. At Envisage Gardens, we offer personalized design consultations to determine the needs and desires of our clients. From there, we provide a custom quote based on the size of the property, level of detail requested, and intensity of landscaping required. Our goal is to provide transparent pricing and work within our clients' budgets to create beautiful outdoor spaces that exceed expectations. To give you some rough costings to work with, we have recently priced contracts in the region of: £4000 for a flat garden with low-intensity design approximately 500sqm in size. £8000 for a severely sloping garden just over 1000sqm in size. £16000 for a mostly flat estate some 1.5 acres in size with some complex elements much as a water rill, large pond and outdoor kitchen. Industry standards are for the fees to return at between 9% to 15% of the total construction budget depending on the scale and complexity of the project. For example, a £100,000 build budget might command fees in the region of £10,000, but a £200,000 budget might return fees in the region of £18,000. Our fees do not include external specialists such as a topographical surveyor or structural engineer, or the production of construction drawings for an external contractor, but we can advise on these costs before you become committed to a design. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and receive a detailed quote for your landscape design project.

How much will it cost to build my garden?At Envisage Gardens, we understand that every garden is unique and requires a customized approach. Therefore, the cost of building your garden will depend on a variety of factors, such as the size of your garden, access requirements, the materials you choose, and the complexity of the design. We offer a complementary initial site visit where we can discuss your vision, needs, and budget, and can give advise as to what will drive cost in your project. We believe in openness and honesty; our friendly designers and head of construction will tackle your cost-related questions head-on. To provide you with an accurate construction estimate, we will need a completed detailed design with construction drawings to cost from. Our team of experts will work with you to create a custom plan that fits your requirements and ensures that you get the most value for your investment. We have recently undertaken projects from £40,000 to over £300,000. As a rough guide, we usually say a completely cleared, constructed and planted garden returns at between £150 to £400 per square meter depending on scale and complexity of the project - this is in line with industry standards. Gardens do not have to be constructed all in one go, although it is usually the most cost-effective option. We can always construct a portion of your garden with a view to completing the remainder of the design at a later stage. Contact us today to schedule your discovery phone call and start building your dream garden with Envisage Gardens.
