LAYOUT & PLANTING

    Garden Design in Cambridge

    ELawnCare offers garden design as part of its landscaping service across Cambridge, working out the layout of lawn, patio, planting and boundaries around how a garden is actually used rather than presenting an off-the-shelf plan. Every project starts with a free site visit to measure the space and talk through what matters to you.

    This is practical, working-gardener design rather than a formal architect service: the same person who draws up the plan carries out the turfing, fencing and patio work that follows it, which keeps the finished result matched to what was actually agreed.

    How a garden design project works

    A free site visit comes first, looking at sun and shade through the day, existing drainage, boundaries and any features worth keeping. From there, a written plan splits the garden into zones, lawn, seating, planting, storage, and prices each element separately so you can see where the budget goes.

    Because the same business carries out the build, changes discovered once work starts, a root that was not visible before, ground that turns out uneven, are handled directly rather than needing to be relayed back to a separate designer.

    What a design project typically includes

    Turf or a scarify-and-overseed renewal for the lawn, patio or path tiling for hard landscaping, fencing for new or replaced boundaries, and flower bed planning for borders. Multi-day projects combining several of these start from £950, with materials quoted separately after the site visit.

    COMMON QUESTIONS

    Frequently asked questions

    Yes, as part of the landscaping service. A free site visit and written plan cover layout, planting and hard landscaping, priced with labour and materials shown separately. Projects start from £950.

    It depends entirely on scope. Multi-day landscaping projects combining turf, fencing and patio work start from £950. A smaller redesign involving just planting and lawn renewal can cost considerably less. Every project is quoted after seeing the site.

    Both, by the same person. ELawnCare designs the layout and then carries out the turfing, fencing, patio and planting work itself, rather than handing a plan to a separate contractor.

    Yes. Plenty of projects focus on a single area, a new patio, a reshaped border, a fresh lawn, rather than the whole garden. The site visit and quote scale to whatever scope you actually want.
