Not sure what to do with your outdoor space? Our garden design service in Guildford turns your ideas into a clear, practical plan. We design gardens that suit how you live, whether that's a low-maintenance family garden, an entertaining space with a large patio, or a planted garden full of colour.
Because Evergreen Gardeners also build what we design, our plans are grounded in real costs and real construction. You get a design you can afford to build, not just a pretty drawing.

- Assessment of levels, soil, drainage, aspect and existing trees
- A garden layout plan showing patios, paths, lawns, beds and features
- Planting plans chosen for Surrey soils and your garden's sun and shade
- Material suggestions for paving, walling, fencing and edging
- A clear quotation to build the design with our landscaping team
Designing for Guildford gardens
Many Guildford gardens slope, sit on chalk or clay, or are overlooked by neighbours. We design around these, using terracing, raised beds and retaining walls on slopes, plants that thrive on your soil type and screening with trees and hedging for privacy. In and around the Surrey Hills and in conservation areas we choose materials that suit the local character.
Low-maintenance garden design
Lots of our customers want a garden that looks good without hours of work every week. We combine well-laid paving, tidy edging, mulched beds and tough, slow-growing plants, so the garden stays smart with minimal upkeep. If you'd still like help, our garden maintenance team can look after it.
We work across Guildford, Godalming, Woking and Cranleigh, plus the villages in between.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to use you to build the design?
No, the design is yours to keep. Most customers do ask us to build it, because we already know the plan and the site inside out.
How long does a garden design take?
After the initial visit, a layout and planting plan usually takes one to three weeks depending on the size of the garden and how many changes you would like.
Can you work to a set budget?
Yes. Tell us your budget at the start and we will design to it, and suggest how a design could be built in stages if needed.
