Collectively, the three governing bodies of the industry: Society of Garden Designers (SGD), British Association of Landscape Industries and the Association of Professional Landscapers (APL) recommend homeowners spend a guideline budget of between 4 and 10% of the current value of the property. This could be higher or lower depending on the property itself and your requirements, and the relative size of the garden to the property.

An initial garden concept design should be completed in around four weeks depending on availability. There may be some time taken to finalise the plan, before a quotation can be produced for building works. Any necessary planning applications may take longer.

Gardens can be built at any time of year, although progress will be quicker when the days are longer, and the weather is good. Rain and mud can create extra mess and slow the work down and can make it hard to lay certain materials. If you have school aged children, or want to enjoy the garden yourself, you may not want your garden dug up during the summer holidays. Planting can be done at any time of year, although it is not a good idea when the ground is frozen or during a long period of drought. If we plant during the height of summer the plants will need a great deal of watering. Planting can generally be better in the autumn, winter, and early spring. This allows the plants to rest after planting and settle in before they start growing in the spring. If extreme weather is avoided and healthy plants are put into well prepared soil, they should establish successfully.

Trees and specimen shrubs are generally planted as semi-mature stock. Shrubs and perennials are generally supplied at small sizes, and they take less time to establish and mature. Hedges have the biggest variation and can be supplied anywhere from seedling to mature plants for instant impact.
