Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Will your garden plan suit Cambridge’s weather and soil conditions?
-
Yes. We factor in local rainfall, clay or chalky soils, and temperature swings to ensure your garden thrives with minimal intervention.
- Q: I have a newly built home - can your plans add character to a blank canvas?
-
Absolutely. Many of our Cambridge clients live in modern developments like Darwin Green or Trumpington Meadows, where the garden is often a bare space. We create plans that add structure, softness, and personality, turning new-build gardens into truly livable outdoor environments.
- Q: Can you incorporate sustainable or climate-conscious design principles?
-
Definitely. We can include drought-resistant planting, permeable surfaces, rainwater harvesting, and wildlife-friendly features. Cambridge’s eco-minded homeowners often request gardens that are both environmentally responsible and visually striking.
