Garden Makeovers explained
What Garden Makeovers Involves and Who It's For
What it is
A garden makeover is a full rethink of your outdoor space: clearing what isn't working, then redesigning and rebuilding the layout with new paving, lawn, structure and planting. It combines garden design, hard landscaping and soft landscaping in one project.
Who it's for
It suits anyone who has inherited a garden they don't like, moved into a home with a neglected plot, or has a garden that no longer fits their life: too much maintenance, too little privacy, nowhere to sit.
When it's needed
Makeovers make the most sense when several things need fixing at once. Doing it in one project means the levels, drainage and layout are planned together, rather than adding pieces over several years.
Why professional help matters
A makeover touches every part of a garden, so planning matters. Oliver designs the new layout, with free planting plans and CAD drawings, with landscaping carried out by his team members.
General garden guidance
Considerations for Your Garden Project
A garden that is left tends to get harder and more expensive to sort out. Overgrowth spreads, structures deteriorate, and the space becomes something to avoid rather than enjoy.
Risks and escalating costs
- Overgrown areas becoming harder and costlier to clear
- Old paving and structures continuing to deteriorate
- Piecemeal fixes that never add up to a garden you like
- Missing out on the space you are already paying for
Common mistakes homeowners make
- Starting work without a complete plan
- Keeping features that limit the new layout
- Planting before hard landscaping is finished
- Not deciding early how much maintenance you're willing to do
