Create a Richmond garden that works for you
Garden design and build with paving and planting considered together
Garden design in Richmond starts with your space and how you want to use it. Taylored Gardens works with homeowners in Richmond upon Thames, Ham and nearby areas. Whether you need a complete redesign or a more focused landscaping project, we can discuss an approach suited to your garden.
First, tell us what is already there, what you would like to keep and what needs to change. We then consider the layout and scope of work around your home, priorities and budget.
Depending on the brief, the work may include garden design, hard landscaping, soft landscaping, patios, paths and planting. Rather than treating every garden as the same package, we discuss which elements belong in your project.
For a commercial garden or landscaped space in Richmond, contact us to discuss the site and requirements.

Related Garden Case-Study
This Richmond Hill project shows how a garden can be refreshed while retaining features that already work. Taylored Gardens replaced a tired water feature with a corten-steel trough and added lighting to highlight the wall and trees. In addition, porcelain paving defines a seating area that connects with the existing Yorkstone.

Hard landscaping for Richmond gardens
Hard landscaping gives a garden useful structure and makes it easier to enjoy. For example, patios and paths can connect places to sit with routes through the space, while fencing can help define boundaries. Depending on the site and brief, decking, pergolas or water features may also form part of the design, with planting considered alongside them.
We can help with:
- Patios and paving: A well-planned patio creates space for dining, relaxing or connecting the house with the garden. We can discuss suitable paving and layout options.
- Fencing: Fencing can provide privacy, define boundaries and complement the garden’s materials. We can discuss styles and specifications to suit the property.
- Water features: A water feature can add movement and sound. We can discuss an option that suits the space and the level of upkeep you want.
- Decking: Decking can make use of level changes or create a defined seating area. The design should suit the layout, access and intended use.
Planting that works with your space
Planting should suit the garden as well as the way you want to look after it. First, we consider the light, soil and available space alongside your preferred level of upkeep. We can then discuss suitable trees, shrubs, perennials, hedging and containers.
When a project includes paths, paving or seating, we plan the planting alongside those features so the garden feels connected. In addition, if encouraging pollinators is one of your goals, seasonal flowering choices can form part of that conversation. Tell us what you would like the planting to contribute, from screening and structure to colour through the seasons.
For a local example, explore our Richmond Hill show garden makeover. The project brings porcelain paving together with existing Yorkstone, a corten steel water feature, planting and uplighting. It shows how new features can be planned around parts of a garden worth keeping.

Richmond Garden Design FAQs
Yes. A garden redesign can work around features you want to retain, rather than replacing everything. First, we discuss what already works and which areas need improvement. For example, our Richmond Hill show garden makeover connects new porcelain paving with existing Yorkstone, alongside a replacement water feature, planting and lighting. Your garden will need its own approach, based on the site and your priorities.
Planting choices depend on the garden’s light, soil, available space and the amount of upkeep you prefer. We can discuss trees, shrubs, perennials, hedging and containers where suitable. In addition, planting can provide screening, seasonal interest and structure. When the project includes paving or seating, we consider the planting alongside those features so the layout feels connected.
Yes. Garden design in Richmond can support a focused improvement as well as a complete redesign. For example, you may want a patio for outdoor dining, a clearer route through the garden or planting around an existing seating area. We first consider how the proposed changes connect with the house and the rest of the garden. We can then discuss an appropriate scope, layout and materials.
