Garden design in Surbiton for the way you live
Courtyard and larger-garden layouts with patios and planting in mind
Taylored Gardens designs and builds gardens in Surbiton. We begin with the space you have and the way you would like to use it, then work through layout, materials and planting. A small courtyard needs different decisions from a larger family garden; the brief should guide what is designed and built.
Our work can connect consultation and garden design with construction, hard landscaping and planting. That might involve a patio or paths, new seating, raised beds, soft landscaping or lighting. Tell us what you want to change and we can discuss an appropriate scope for your garden.

What clients say about working with us
Planning your garden design in Surbiton
A design conversation can begin with simple questions: where you want to sit, how you move through the garden, what should stay and what is no longer useful. The answers help set priorities for the layout and for any paving, raised beds or planting.
Garden design and construction considered together
For the agreed design scope, initial ideas develop into plans for you to review before the build is confirmed. Planting is considered with the layout: we discuss colours, plant types and the level of care you want, then choose plants suited to the garden. The construction work and planting can be set out together so you know what is included.
If you are still gathering ideas, the RHS garden design guide offers useful planning advice and planting inspiration. Then, we can discuss which ideas suit your Surbiton garden, the available space and how you want to use it.
Patios and paving in Surbiton
A patio works best when its size, position and access reflect how you intend to use it. Seating, routes through the garden and the transition from house to outside are worth planning together. A change in level or a raised bed may help define a smaller space without treating every garden the same way.
Paving choices include the surface material, its colour and size, and the way the edges meet paths, beds or lawn. Where they suit the design, natural stone, block edging or brickwork can help define the patio and its connections to the rest of the garden.
Hard landscaping gives a garden its structure; planting softens it and adds change through the seasons. If a new paved area is part of your brief, we can discuss its relationship to drainage, materials and the rest of the layout. Find out more about hard landscaping and soft landscaping.

Frequently asked questions
Surbiton Garden Design FAQs
Yes. Taylored Gardens offers garden design in Surbiton for small courtyards as well as larger gardens. For example, our Surbiton courtyard project combines floating seats between three raised beds with lighting for evenings outdoors. However, each garden needs its own approach, so we begin with your available space and how you would like to use it.
We consider the patio’s size, position and access alongside the wider garden layout. For example, a dining area needs room for furniture and movement, while a smaller seating spot may suit a quieter corner. We also discuss materials, changes in level and drainage. As a result, the patio is planned together with paths, planting and the connection to your home, rather than as an isolated feature.
Yes. Planting forms part of our garden design work in Surbiton, alongside seating, paving and other features. First, we discuss your preferred colours, plant types and the level of care you want. We then choose plants suited to the garden and consider how they fit the layout. In addition, planting can soften hard landscaping and bring seasonal interest to the space.
