What We Do

Garden Designs

The Process
Garden designs by Oakmore Green aims to reflect your unique lifestyle and to allow you to balance your busy schedule with outdoor enjoyment. Using functional artistic elements such as water, stone, planting and light, we fashion a place for all to enjoy that incorporates sustainable garden philosophies which reflect their surrounding environment the architecture they offset and the people who use them.

We work directly with homeowners , and regularly work with architects, developers, interior designers and builders, we come together as a part of a team in order to achieve a landscape design for your garden, which compliments the architecture and surroundings with the very important exterior final touches in residential projects. It is important to us to create spaces which flow with the architecture and local geography while personalising the space, giving a sense of belonging to the people who will spend time enjoying them in their day to day lives. We work with clients all around the UK with the majority of our work being completed in areas of Kent including Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells.

Whatever your project – large or small, modern or traditional, one area or an entire garden, we can help with every aspect. We offer a flexible combination of design services, from inspirational schemes to fully considered structural layouts and the discharge of planning conditions.
What you get with Oakmore Green is a passionate exponent of a ‘grand’ design. Never bland or predictable, the work is driven by strong ideas and conviction in making the garden part of your home.

We are committed to offering a flexible approach tailored to your requirements and budget. We believe that everyone should have access to the very best design expertise without having to sign up for some form of an expensive long-term relationship. A bit of objective, professional clarity before a project starts can often help clients avoid not only disappointment but also potentially costly mistakes.
Whatever your budget, Oakmore Green will do everything we can to make sure it goes as far as possible.
We deliver effective sustainable design solutions for a range of projects, from single developments to landscape strategies for large residential and multi-use development sites.
1. Initial Contact
Call 07970 704820 or email us for a free telephone consultation to determine if Oakmore Green can meet your garden and landscape needs. A brief 10 – 20 minute conversation should determine whether our skills are what you need. After that an initial site visit can be scheduled.
2. Initial Site Visit
We begin with a face-to-face meeting at the site to determine the scope of the project and to ensure a good fit between the client and Oakmore Green. We ask a lot of questions in order to determine your lifestyle, usage and maintenance requirements.
3. Proposal and Contract
We will document our ideas and deliverables for you and present them in written form.
4. Site Analysis Visit
Once a proposal and contract have been agreed and signed, and an independent surveyor will be commissioned to do a topographical survey. Then Oakmore Green will do a site analysis by checking the topographical measurements, taking photograph and putting together any historical research.
5. Concept Development
After the analysis, we are ready to form ideas about space function and locations.
6. Design Development
Following the concept development, we transition the concepts into a detailed design illustrating plants, walkways, walls, and other hardscapes. This design is presented to the client for discussion and revision.
7. Final Design including Budget
The complete final drawing with budget and material lists is presented to the client and used for the installation. The budget is based on using our recommended and trusted contractors. Some clients prefer to choose their own contractors. This will require us to meet with the contractor at the job site to review the site for their budget estimates. If you choose to use your own contractor, additional drawings may be required.

How much do Garden Designs cost?

All Gardens
are Unique
Your Garden Design project is unique to you and budgets depend on size and requirements therefore it’s impossible to give an exact idea of garden design costs on the website as clients require a diverse range of services from a simple consultation to a full garden design, project management and consultancy work.
We have Tiers of Costs Providing
a Budget that is Right for Your Garden?
There are three principal ways for design services to be charged: a percentage of the national build cost, lump sum, and time charged. Most clients prefer to know their budget with a fixed fee, a percentage fee is often preferred.

Ensure you are Comparing
Apples and Apples
We specialise in a full garden designs service and work very similar to an architect.

Garden Designs is an art and a science and should not be regarded lightly.
Having full professional drawings gives everyone a clear understanding of what’s required.

We work regularly with trusted landscapers that we can recommend, working with our design team also gives you the freedom to choose your own landscaper, we do advise that they are qualified professionals with the experience to undertake our designs.

Finally, if you get quotes from more than one designer, make sure they are comparable by :-

• Years of experience
• Relevant insurance
• Qualifications
• Accreditation
• Industry knowledge
• Creativity
• Customer service

You might think that a garden designer is a place to cut corners but doing so could actually cost you dearly.
