Garden Construction

Using knowledge of plants, materials, suppliers, construction and design, I can turn your ideas into an achievable plan for a breathtaking and wonderful garden – which is still within your budget. Working on paper also allows me to iron out any problems or concerns before costly work has to be undone. As these plans can be fully detailed, it's easy to collect quotes from a number of subcontractors, which ensures you get top quality work for the best price available.

With the knowledge that over 20 years in the Garden Design and Landscaping business brings, DGGD has accumulated a large selection of contractors to call upon to build all types and styles of gardens. This is in addition to our own labour that tends to do the site preparing sites, doing the ground works, putting in drainage systems etc, for the specialist contractors to come in and work their magic!

One of the really important things that is needed during the construction of a garden is a close working relationship between the client and the workforce - by using DGGD for the build as well as the design of the garden you get that relationship as it will have been built up from the start of the design process. Be it overseeing my own contractors or managing the clients preferred company I can regularly be on site. Being hands on, glitches in the detail of the design tend to be caught early and overcome – a vital part of the management of the site.

The building of a designed garden is a highly specialised process and I work closely with landscaping firms, specialist pavers, stonemasons and garden nurseries to realise my schemes. I am particularly passionate about the plants that go into my designs – they are the part of the garden that can make or break a scheme. I will always place the plants out in the borders and oversees and assist the final planting and mulching of them whenever possible.
