Cost, timescale and process, answered
The questions Bristol and Bath homeowners ask us most before starting a garden design and build project.
Do you design and build gardens in Bristol and Bath?
Yes. Fernwood Landscapes designs and builds gardens for homeowners and architects across Bristol and Bath, from first sketch through to planting and lighting.
How much does a garden design and build cost?
Every garden is different, so we don't quote a price until we've seen the space and talked through what you want from it. Get in touch for a free quote and we'll talk you through the next steps.
How long does a project take, from design to finished garden?
Timescales depend on the size of the garden and the scope of the build — a planting refresh moves faster than a full terrace and landscape build. We'll give you a realistic timeline once we've seen your garden.
What does the design process involve?
We start with a conversation about how you use your garden, then develop a design around terraces, natural stone, oak and planting. Once you're happy with the design, we plan and schedule the build.
Do you only take on large gardens, or smaller projects too?
We work on gardens of all sizes across Bristol and Bath, from a single planted border or terrace to a full landscape build.
Can you design the planting as well as build the hard landscaping?
Yes. Planting design and garden lighting are part of our service alongside garden design, landscape build and natural stone terraces, so the whole garden is considered together.
What should I expect from a free quote?
We visit your garden, listen to what you need, and talk through the possibilities for design and build. From there we put together a quote for your project at no cost to you.
What experience does Fernwood Landscapes have?
We're members of the Society of Garden Designers and have built over 200 gardens since 2011. Our planting design won a silver-gilt medal at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 2024.
