Garden design in Romsey

Away from the centre, Romsey has a broad mix of homes, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to post-war houses and newer developments. Gardens vary just as much, so we plan every project around the plot in front of us rather than a standard layout.

Before drawing anything up, we walk the garden with you and talk through how you want to use it: somewhere to sit in the evening sun, room for children to play, space for storage, less lawn to mow or a view you want to frame.

Land close to the River Test can be low-lying and slow to drain, while other parts of town sit on clay and gravel. We check the ground on every job before deciding on depths, sub-bases and drainage.

Many Romsey gardens are more sheltered than those on the coast, which gives more freedom with planting, pergolas and other structures.

We take all of this into account when deciding where a patio will get the most sun, where planting will thrive and which areas need extra drainage or shelter.

Romsey is covered by Test Valley Borough Council. If your home is listed or in the conservation area, some work may need extra checks, and we will mention this at the quoting stage.

Homes in Romsey range from period houses and cottages around the market place to Victorian terraces, post-war houses and newer developments. We choose materials and shapes that sit comfortably with the house and its surroundings.

The aim is a garden that feels natural, suits the house and works for everyday life in Romsey. Once the plan is agreed, we carry out the hard landscaping, turfing, fencing and finishing work ourselves, so nothing is lost between the design and the build. We keep you updated as we go and finish with a walkthrough so you are happy with every detail.
