Garden Design in Godalming
Garden design in Godalming calls for an understanding of landscape, architecture and planting. Many gardens in and around the town are shaped by Godalming’s historic character, from cottage gardens and established town gardens to larger gardens on the edge of the Surrey Hills.
At We Love Plants, every garden begins with careful observation. We look at the movement of light, existing trees, views, boundaries, levels, soil, planting conditions and the way the garden sits within its wider setting. This helps us create spaces that feel grounded and atmospheric, rather than overly designed or disconnected from their surroundings.
For clients in Godalming, this may mean creating a softer planting scheme around a terrace, designing a more graceful entrance, bringing privacy to an established garden, or reworking the layout so the whole space feels calmer and more connected. Our garden design process helps shape these decisions with care, creating gardens that are beautiful, practical and designed to mature gracefully.
FAQs
-
Do you visit my property in Godalming before designing?
-
Yes. We visit your garden so we can understand the site properly before design work begins. In Godalming, this may include looking at levels, existing trees, boundaries, views, or established planting, as well as how the garden connects with its wider setting.
-
Can you design gardens for period properties and established gardens in Godalming?
-
Yes. We Love Plants designs gardens for a wide range of settings, including period properties, cottage gardens and established gardens. For Godalming gardens, the design needs to feel sensitive to the architecture, landscape and planting character, so the finished space feels natural rather than imposed.
-
Can you help with both the design and planting of my garden?
-
Yes. We can support the design process and provide detailed planting plans, plant sourcing, planting and aftercare where required. This is especially valuable for gardens that need a softer, more layered planting style, helping the finished space feel natural, atmospheric and well established.
-
How long does a garden design project in Godalming usually take?
-
Most garden design projects take several months through the design phase, depending on the size and complexity of the site. Build and planting schedules are planned separately where required. We discuss timings clearly at the start, so you understand how the project is likely to progress.
-
Can you create a garden that feels natural and suited to the Surrey countryside?
-
Yes. Our work is plant-led, which means we think carefully about how the garden sits within its wider setting. For Godalming gardens, this may mean softer boundaries, naturalistic planting, seasonal movement and a design that feels connected to the surrounding Surrey landscape.
