Our Services

At Mark Langford Garden Design, we specialise in creating imaginative and practical outdoor spaces for both residential and commercial clients. We provide creative solutions to garden layouts, using appropriate materials and creative planting schemes that provide year-round interest. Our services include:

• Garden Design: We offer a complete garden design service covering all the stages required to create your perfect garden. Our service includes listening to your requirements, developing your thoughts into a practical, individual scheme that integrates your garden with the property and the wider landscape. We also solve your garden's layout issues in a creative and imaginative way while considering and selecting the appropriate hard landscaping materials and planting style for your garden.
• Planting Plans: We provide planting plans that detail the species, number, and position of all the plants within the scheme. We select plants that are appropriate for your site and that match your style preferences and combine them to create interesting schemes that are easy to maintain. We also design planting schemes that provide year-round interest.

The Importance of Investing in Design

Good garden design is a combination of practical and aesthetic elements. We understand how to organise space within the garden and the importance of linking them together effectively. This approach creates a strong relationship between spaces, resulting in a cohesive overall scheme. Investing in design before commencing work on the garden layout ensures that issues are resolved, avoiding mistakes that can be costly to rectify. You will have a clear idea of how the garden will look and the contractor will have a set of instructions on how to build the garden.

Plants and Wildlife

We are passionate about planting for wildlife, incorporating plants that attract birds, bees, and other pollinators into the garden. We understand all the plants utilised in our schemes, trialling them in our own garden before unleashing them on our clients.

Consultation

Our design process starts with an on-site meeting to discuss your project. We establish what you want from the garden, your likes and dislikes, your style preferences, and get a sense of the site. We then record all on-site measurements, spot heights, features, aspect, and views. The next step is to develop an initial design - layout plan that details the position and size of all the elements comprising the design.

Our Fees

Our design fees for garden design start at 1200.00, while design fees for planting plans start at 500.00.
