A well-drawn design is the difference between a garden that looks ‘done’ and one that truly works. Our team creates tailored layouts for entertaining, family life and year-round interest, with clear planting and materials specifications. We regularly design for properties near Knole House and around Sevenoaks High Street, where gardens often need structure, privacy and a premium finish. Expect practical detailing, not vague inspiration boards.
Sevenoaks is known for large detached houses, executive homes and characterful period properties, many with generous plots and established boundaries. In TN13, TN14 and TN15 we often see sloping lawns, mature trees and shaded corners that need careful planting choices. Whether you’re in Riverhead, Otford or Dunton Green, we design to complement the architecture and improve day-to-day usability. The aim is a garden that feels intentional from every window and pathway.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a design brief, then develop concept options before moving into detailed plans. You’ll receive a full garden design package, with planting plans, hard landscaping design and optional 3D visualisation, lighting design and water features. We’re clear on budgets and buildability from day one, so the design can be delivered without surprises. Homeowners choose us for tidy working practices, transparent communication and a finish that lasts.
Across the Sevenoaks District we often encounter heavy clay, seasonal waterlogging and root competition from mature trees, all of which affect drainage and planting. Access can be tight on older lanes and around busy routes near The Vine Cricket Ground, so we plan deliveries, spoil removal and storage early. Where properties sit on slopes or have split levels, we design retaining details and step geometry to feel natural and safe. We also factor in boundaries, overlooking and the look of neighbouring gardens to keep everything cohesive.

For Garden Design in Sevenoaks, design-only packages typically fall between £500 and £2,500, depending on garden size, complexity and whether you want 3D visualisation, lighting design or water feature concepts. If you proceed to a full build, most complete projects land around £5,000 to £25,000, influenced by paving, walls, drainage, planting maturity and bespoke elements. We’ll help align the design to your budget from the outset.
Most projects take 2–8 weeks from start on site to completion, with the exact programme depending on ground conditions, access and the amount of hard landscaping. A simple refresh with planting and minor paving can be quicker, while level changes, retaining, lighting and water features add time. Weather and lead times for specialist materials can also affect scheduling. We provide a clear timeline before work begins and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, including patios, planting, and most landscaping changes, but there are exceptions. Listed buildings, conservation areas, significant level changes, boundary treatments and drainage to public systems can trigger extra requirements in Sevenoaks District. If you’re near protected trees or have a Tree Preservation Order, that can also affect what’s possible. We flag likely constraints early and can advise on what to check before you commit to a final design.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our hard landscaping workmanship, covering installation-related issues such as movement or failure caused by incorrect build methods. It applies to elements like paving, edging, steps and retaining features, provided they’re used normally and maintained sensibly. Planting is living material, so it’s covered differently and depends on aftercare, weather and watering. We’ll explain what’s included and give straightforward maintenance guidance at handover.
In the Sevenoaks area, homeowners often choose porcelain paving for clean lines, sandstone for a softer traditional feel, and brick detailing to echo period architecture. For structure, we design with pergolas, raised planters, rendered walls and integrated seating, then add layered planting for privacy and seasonal interest. Lighting options include step lights, uplighters for trees and discreet path lighting. We’ll bring samples, propose alternatives and help you balance looks, maintenance and budget.
