Garden design in London
Garden design is the planning stage that decides where paths, seating, lawn and planting go before any building starts. OJM Landscaping designs London gardens around how you actually use the space, then agrees a clear plan and a written quote with you, so the build runs to a settled brief.

Questions about this service
What does a garden design include?
A design sets out how the garden is laid out: where the lawn, paths, seating and borders go, and which materials and planting suit them. It is agreed with you before building begins, so the quote and the work follow a settled plan rather than decisions made on the day.
Can I have a design for only part of the garden?
Yes. Many people only need the terrace, the borders or the back third sorted. We can design one area so it still works with the rest of the garden, and leave room to carry on later if you want to phase the work over time.
Can you build the design as well?
Yes. We can plan and build the whole garden as one job, covering paving, turf, fencing, decking and planting. Having one team do both means the finished garden matches the plan and any questions during the build go to the people who drew it.
