What Affects the Cost?

Pricing depends on several key factors: the size and accessibility of your garden, choice of materials (natural stone, composite decking, or block paving), complexity of the design, and ground conditions. Hove's proximity to London and coastal location means labour costs tend towards the higher end of South East rates. Seasonal demand also plays a role—spring and summer typically command premium pricing. Ground preparation, existing structures to remove, and the need for specialist equipment all influence final costs.

Money-Saving Tips

Request detailed quotes from multiple local landscapers to compare costs. Consider staggering larger projects across seasons to spread expense and potentially secure lower rates. Using locally available materials and simpler designs can reduce both material and labour costs whilst still delivering attractive results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in a garden design consultation?

A professional consultation typically includes site assessment, discussion of your vision and requirements, suggestions for layout and materials, and a preliminary sketch or plan. Some landscapers offer this free if you proceed with the full project, whilst others charge £150–£400 for independent consultations.

Why do landscaping costs vary so much between quotes?

Variation reflects differences in material quality, design complexity, labour rates, and the extent of preparation work needed. A £50/m² patio quote assumes standard block paving on prepared ground, whilst £100/m² typically includes premium materials, intricate patterns, or difficult access conditions.

Is it cheaper to hire a landscaper by the hour or per project?

For well-defined projects (paving, fencing), a fixed price per metre or square metre is clearer and often better value. For open-ended work like clearance, hourly rates (typically £35–£75 in Hove) give you control. Always agree on an estimate before work begins.

How long does a typical small garden transformation take?

A small garden project (100–200 m²) generally takes 5–15 working days depending on complexity. This includes clearance, groundwork, installation of features, and planting. Your landscaper should provide a realistic timeline during the quotation stage.
