Find the right starting point for your Surrey garden
With over 14 years of experience, Taylored Gardens is your local, professional, and friendly team of landscape gardeners dedicated to designing and building stunning residential and commercial gardens throughout Surrey. Our expertise includes transforming back gardens with hard landscaping services such as decks, steps, stone patios, raised beds, and lawn preparation. We pride ourselves on our creative approach to garden design in Surrey for both private and commercial clients.
Taylored Gardens works on garden design and landscaping projects in Surrey. Explore the areas we serve and our published projects, then tell us where you are and what you would like to change, from a patio to a complete garden redesign. Whether you’re seeking inspiration or tailored transformation, our garden design work across Surrey can help your project stand out.
First, consider how you want to use the space and what already works. Paths and patios give a garden structure, while planting brings texture and seasonal interest. We can then discuss the scope that suits your site and priorities, rather than assuming every garden needs the same features. When it comes to planning garden design in Surrey, balancing existing structure with new ideas is key.

What clients say about working with us
Planning garden design in Surrey
Start with what the garden needs to do: somewhere to sit or eat, a route through the space, privacy, room for planting or a better connection to the house. A design can bring those choices together before construction decisions are made. We can discuss which features belong in the brief, rather than assuming every garden needs the same additions. Whichever way you want the space to work, our expertise in Surrey garden design ensures a creative yet practical solution.
Planting choices need to relate to the layout, the conditions on the site and the amount of care you want to give them. Meanwhile, paving, paths and other built features should work with what you want to retain. See our garden design service for more detail. If you’re seeking bespoke garden design in Surrey, our process adapts to your needs and location.
For an independent starting point, the RHS guide to creating your garden plan explains how to map the space and existing features before making changes. This approach can be especially useful for anyone exploring garden design in Surrey for the first time.
From an enquiry to an agreed garden brief
A garden design can develop from an initial brief into a proposal, site assessment and plans for review. The agreed scope may include the layout, construction drawings and a planting scheme, showing how existing features and new work fit together. We discuss who will carry out the build and any specialist elements for your project. Let our experience in all aspects of Surrey garden design guide your project through every stage.
- Enquiry and consultation: Discuss the location, your priorities and the brief.
- Proposal: Agree the design stages, fees and deliverables before proceeding.
- Site assessment and survey: Gather the information needed for the agreed design work.
- Plans and planting design: Review how retained features and new work fit together, with responsibilities for construction and specialist elements made clear. Every design step is shaped by our years of garden design in the Surrey region.

Patios and Quality Paving in Surrey
A patio or terrace can make space for sitting or dining, while paths and steps connect it with the rest of the garden. We can discuss materials, access, drainage and the relationship between built areas and planting as part of a wider design or a focused landscaping brief. As always, garden design in Surrey should be tailored to your lifestyle and the character of your location.
Where a garden changes level, steps, routes and planted areas need to be considered together. Any proposed terrace or raised bed should respond to access, drainage and the way the space will be used. Our team ensures that garden design throughout Surrey accounts for these practical needs.
Hard landscaping provides structure, while soft landscaping brings texture and seasonal change. Lighting or a water feature may suit the brief; an outdoor kitchen is another option for the right project, not a default feature. Find out more about hard landscaping and soft landscaping.

Frequently asked questions
Garden design in Surrey: your questions
Please send your garden’s location and postcode so Taylored Gardens can confirm whether the project is within the service area. The local pages offer a starting point, but they do not mean every Surrey postcode or type of project is covered.
The contents depend on the agreed brief. Before commissioning the work, confirm whether the proposal includes a site survey, layout plans, construction drawings or a planting scheme, and which design stages are priced. Also clarify who will carry out the build and any specialist work; these details should not be assumed from a general service list.
A patio, path or planting change can be a focused brief rather than a complete garden redesign. Tell us what you want to keep and what needs attention so we can assess whether the project is a fit. Even a smaller change needs to work with the existing layout, access and drainage.
The published portfolio includes an Esher front garden and driveway, an Esher family garden and a Crown Estate, Oxshott garden. They show different briefs in named locations, not an identical package for every garden. The Oxshott project account includes historical 2016 context.
The scope of the design, site access, changes in level, drainage, materials and planting all need to be considered. First, explain your priorities and any budget or timing constraints; then ask what the proposed fee and programme cover. Confirm whether costs can be itemised or work phased, rather than assuming either is included. Our garden project FAQs provide further questions to explore.
