Why Your Garden Needs a Design – Just Like Your Home

 

You wouldn’t dream of building a house without an architect’s plans. So why develop a garden without a design?

Just like your home, your garden is a long-term investment. It should reflect your style, suit your lifestyle, and work with the natural character of your space. A thoughtfully designed garden adds beauty, value, and functionality to your property – and makes sure your money is spent wisely.

What Does a Garden Designer Actually Do?

A professional garden designer brings structure and vision to your outdoor space. At Chew Gardens, our design process starts with listening – to your ideas, your needs, and how you want to use your garden.

We then analyse the site and the existing conditions, and how it connects to your home. From there, we create a design plan tailored to you. This can include layouts, hard landscaping features, planting schemes, and ongoing maintenance considerations.

The Benefits of Garden Design

• Cohesion and Flow: A well-designed garden feels balanced. Every element – paths, patios, borders, seating areas – is placed with purpose and proportion.

• Saves Time and Money: With a clear plan, you avoid costly mistakes or changes midway through. You’ll also get a phased plan if you need to spread out the work over time.

• Adds Value: A professionally designed garden can increase property value and curb appeal significantly.

• Maximises Space: Even a small garden can feel spacious and functional when it’s well designed.

• Long-Term Enjoyment: Design isn’t just about looks. It ensures your garden evolves beautifully over the seasons and years.

Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to transform a tired space, investing in garden design is the foundation for a garden you’ll love to live in.
