“The Rolls Royce of garden design.”
“It was all very professional and anything that needed to be changed or tweaked, it was the ability to be able to do that. I found it very very professional but at the same time it was the personal sort of touch.”

Our Professional Garden Planning Services in Holt Include
Site Survey & Concept Development
We begin with a detailed on-site survey, assessing light, drainage, topography, soil, privacy, and views. This forms the foundation for a custom concept plan that outlines how your garden will be zoned, styled, and structured.
Detailed Layout & Structural Plans
We provide scaled garden layout drawings, showing the placement of terraces, pathways, lawns, beds, seating areas, and garden structures. Optional 3D visuals and mood boards help bring the vision to life.
Planting Design & Horticultural Advice
We curate planting schemes tailored to Norfolk’s microclimates, using a blend of evergreens, perennials, native plants, and seasonal accents for year-round colour and texture. We also provide plant care guidance to suit your level of experience.
Hard Landscaping Planning
Our plans include carefully considered material palettes, layout details for paving, walls, pergolas, steps, and raised beds, all selected to match your garden’s setting and your desired aesthetic.

Why Holt Inspires Our Garden Designs
Georgian Character & Historic Charm
With its Georgian facades, walled gardens, and elegant courtyards, Holt inspires classic structure, symmetry, and planting styles that suit older homes.
Holt Country Park & Natural Surroundings
We often reference the textures and tones of Holt Country Park in our planting schemes—using native shrubs, ferns, and layered woodland-style borders.
Proximity to the Coast
The influence of Blakeney Point, Cley-next-the-Sea, and the North Sea coast guides our use of salt-tolerant plants, wind-resistant hedging, and sustainable surfacing.

“It was a smooth process from start to finish.”
“As a customer you want to make sure you’ve got the best possible work done and then the best treatment, and I feel like I’ve had that both.”
“Having the garden here is everything that I would’ve wanted as a little boy myself.”
“It was all very clear that the company was brilliant and it was all done perfectly down to a T, and leaves me a very happy man. It’s turned out exactly like it, and I love it.”
“At the end of the day, we got the garden we wanted, and we’re very pleased with it. ”
“We didn’t really need to change the design very much of it at all from day one. We modified it very slightly, made the kitchen area a little bit bigger, including a barbecue. And then they started the work beginning of March, so, two months later. At the end of the day, we got the garden we wanted, and we’re very pleased with it.”
““When you see the design, that’s what you’re going to get.””
“They delivered. They solved the problem that we had. The communication from start to end has been really good. Any time there’s been a minor issue, we’ve always had a quick response, and things have been solved, so we were very pleased.”
