Garden design and construction for your Barnes home
Layout, landscaping and planting planned together
Garden design in Barnes brings together the layout, materials and planting for your outdoor space. First, we discuss what you want to keep, what needs to change and how you would like to use the garden. We can then consider the design and construction work that suits your brief.
For example, you may want a new patio, better screening or a more practical seating area rather than a complete redesign. Depending on the project, we can discuss hard landscaping and soft landscaping, lighting, water features or an outdoor kitchen. Ask what drawings and planting information would be included in the design stage for your project.
To get started, tell us about your garden using the form. You can also read our Garden FAQs for an overview of common design and construction questions.

Our outdoor entertaining project in Richmond brought an outdoor kitchen, seating areas, planting and a children’s play space into one design. The project shows how different uses can work within the same garden. For inspiration, explore the layout and features, then tell us which ideas would suit your own space.

Garden design in Barnes: planning the layout
Garden design in Barnes should connect the places you sit, the routes you use and the planting around them. For example, a seating area may need a better connection to the house, while a border may be planned for screening or seasonal interest. By considering these choices together, the layout can guide materials and construction details rather than treating each feature separately.
Before agreeing the work, discuss practical details such as access, changes in level and how new features will meet existing paths or boundaries. In addition, consider which elements belong in the current project and which could wait. Explore our garden design and construction services for more information.

Hard landscaping and planting for Barnes gardens
Hard landscaping gives a garden its routes, boundaries and places to sit. Materials and dimensions need to suit the site and how you want to use each area. If you are considering sleepers or a pergola, ask whether they would be suitable for your brief and included in the proposed work. Explore our hard landscaping service for more detail.
Planting is an important part of garden design in Barnes, alongside patios, paths and seating. For example, you may prefer the clear shapes of a formal scheme, a softer informal style or herbaceous borders. The choice should reflect the light, soil and growing conditions, as well as the care you want to give the garden. In addition, planting can provide structure, screening and seasonal interest without every area needing the same approach.
For practical background, read the Royal Horticultural Society’s guide to planning a garden border. It explains how growing conditions and planting style can inform your choices. You can also explore our soft landscaping service.

Frequently asked questions
Garden design in Barnes: frequently asked questions
Start by identifying how you want to use the space and what needs to change. For example, you may want a better layout for seating, clearer routes or planting that provides screening. These priorities help guide the design, whether you are considering a complete redesign or a focused improvement. Ask what drawings, planting information and construction details would be included before agreeing the work.
The cost depends on the garden’s size, access, materials and the amount of construction and planting involved. For example, updating a border will have a different scope from rebuilding a patio or redesigning the whole space. Share your priorities and intended budget when you enquire so the proposed work can be discussed. Check what the quotation includes and whether VAT is included before making a decision.
The timescale depends on the scope of the design, the site conditions and the work involved. In addition, access, material availability and weather can affect construction. Once the brief is clearer, ask for an estimated schedule covering the design stage and the proposed build. A focused improvement and a complete redesign will need different plans.
