The typical starting price for a small to medium garden build is 15k +, naturally the choice of materials and ultimate design elements will dictate the cost. A large garden can cost upwards of £30k + . We also carry out one-off, smaller projects like a path or shed base at lower costs too!

Although hard to answer, we would say the average landscape we carry out is approx. 3 weeks in duration. Large projects take 1 month plus.

If you are investing £10k + of your money we would highly recommend having us provide you concept drawing or indeed a full garden design. You wouldn't have an extension to your home without first approving the building plans and drawings and the same goes for your garden.

We offer two different levels of garden design. Often, both the proposed project spend and scale of the project will determine the appropriate design solution required:

OPTION 1
Full colour A3 concept drawing including a Powerpoint presentation featuring:
1 x 2D scale drawing to enable you to visualise space of our proposed garden design.
Starting at: £675.00 plus VAT

OPTION 2
Full colour A3 concept drawing presented including a Powerpoint presentation featuring:
1 x 2D scale drawing to enable you to visualise space of our proposed garden design.
1 x 3D sketch displaying a key aspect of the design.
Starting at: £995.00 plus VAT

If you are interested in any aspect of Garden Design please call and arrange a free consultation to discuss your garden requirements in more detail.

On average we have approx. 3/4 month lead time for most small to medium projects.

We pride ourselves on project managing the entire project for you and therefore disruption is an absolute minimal. All design elements are agreed prior to the project starting and our office is open 5 days a week for any questions or queries you may have whilst your project is being completed. You will have an overall project manager responsible for your project who will be living and breathing your build until fully complete! Our complete project management if what really sets us apart.

We will assist you with the many options available to you and provide both brochures and samples where required. Paving choices can sometimes be dictated by budget or indeed the design concept we are creating. Either way we have many ways to assist you with this.

Artificial lawn is a fantastic product for solving certain problems that you may be facing. Shady spaces, high footfall areas for children to play and enjoy ball games and even doggy zones. We can offer various grasses for different purposes and appearances. We still love a we manicured stripy lawn but sometimes you have to evaluate your lifestyle and see what works best for your garden area.

Low maintenance gardens are very popular now due to our ever demanding lives and all of us being time poor! We can create extremely low maintenance garden solutions for you from Artificial Lawn, to carefully selected trees and shrubs. A low maintenance garden doesn't need to be boring or not colourful.

We specialise in soft landscape so are able to provide suggestions of plants and trees based on your preferences and size/position of your garden. We can provide expert advice and talk through what would work in your space.

Our pet hate in our industry is the lack of finesse and attention to detail with fully completing projects and leaving site clean and tidy. At Stock Gardens we don’t leave site and move to the next project until yours is completely finished, site cleaned and detailing complete.

If you lawn is damaged beyond 50% of its visible space, then it may advisable to lift, remove and simpyl re-turf your lawn. We can very successfully top dress and over seed large lawn spaces to create a fresh new looking lawn, however the over riding question is time. Are you looking for an instant result?

If you have just invested a large sum of your hard earned money into your garden landscape we would highly recommend you consider professional garden maintenance. On average we go onto maintain around 80% of the gardens we build.

All payments for work are invoiced to you and stage payments are set up consisting of a deposit, mid project and balance on completion. All payments are plus VAT and preferred method of payment is bank transfer. We can also offer you the option of credit card payment subject to a small admin fee.
