Garden design & landscaping · Guildford

Gardens made for long summer evenings.

Patios, lawns, fencing and planting, designed with you and built properly by our own team across Guildford and the Surrey villages.

Free garden visit Drawing & written quote Built by our own team
Every garden starts with a walk round it together. Then a drawing you can change, a written quote you can hold us to, and a team that leaves the site tidy every evening.
i.

Designed around you

Where the sun sits at six o'clock, where the children play, how much time you want to spend weeding. We plan for how you'll use it.

ii.

Built from the ground up

Proper sub-bases, falls for the rain and posts set deep. The bits you never see are why it still looks right in ten summers.

iii.

Looked after afterwards

New planting needs a hand in its first year. We'll tell you what to water and when, and come back if you'd like us to.

The garden planner

Sketch out your garden. We'll come and see it.

Pick what you're thinking about and watch the plan fill in. It writes your message for you, ready to send on WhatsApp, and we'll arrange a free visit.

Why Fernhill

Built by people who like gardens

Landscaping is a big spend and a lot of disruption. Here's how we make it easy to live with while it's happening, and easy to love once it's done.

Every cost in writing

One clear quote before we start, so the money side never comes as a surprise.

Proper groundwork

Compacted bases, drainage and levels done right, because that's what keeps paving flat.

The same faces

Our own team from start to finish. You'll know who's in your garden each morning.

Tidy every evening

Tools away, paths swept and the spoil taken off site, not left in a heap on your drive.

Questions

Good to know

Anything else, just ask. We're happy to talk it through on the phone or at your garden.

Is the garden visit really free?

Yes. We come out, walk the garden with you and talk about ideas. You'll get a written quote afterwards, with no obligation to go ahead.

Porcelain or Indian sandstone?

Porcelain is even in colour and very easy to keep clean. Sandstone is natural, with warm, varied tones that suit older and cottage homes, and it likes a clean and a seal now and then. Both last for decades if they're laid properly.

When is the best time to lay turf?

Spring and autumn are ideal, when the ground is warm and moist. Summer works too, it just needs more watering. We avoid frozen or waterlogged ground.

Do I need planning permission for a patio or fence?

Most back garden patios don't. Fences up to two metres usually don't either, or one metre next to a road. Front gardens, listed homes and conservation areas can have extra rules, and we'll flag anything you should check with the council.

Will you take the waste away?

Yes. Old paving, soil, turf and offcuts are cleared and taken away as part of the job, and the quote says so.
