The front garden has a very different role to play than the often, but not always, more private rear garden. There is normally some kind of event, which triggers our client’s to contact us (see right). We like to talk through, in great detail, the functional requirements of the front garden, from your perspective, before we commence any design work. And, we will always propose alternative ideas, on how best the front garden space could work. Thought also needs to be given to what can, and can’t be done legally, since front gardens tend to throw out more local council planning issues than most people appreciate. We regularly come across unfortunate clients, who with the best of intentions, have installed automatic gated entrances, without first securing planning permission - resulting in the council requesting these costly purchases to be removed!

Talk to us about your plans for your front garden, which might include:

• Driveway re-surfacing
• Improved access, parking for cars & turning circles
• Garage Installation Integration (single/double/triple)
• Entrance Gate installations (manual/automatic)
• Beautifying the garden following building work (extensions/rebuilds)
• ‘House Doctor’ the garden ready for sale
