Dan was recommended to us by a neighbour and we are so glad. Dan and his amazing team initially did some work on the front garden area and we were so impressed we decided to utilise them for a larger piece of work in the back garden. The work was completed on time, the quality of the work was excellent and we are so thrilled with how everything turned out. Dan's knowledge of plants were excellent and you can tell he has a real passion for this. A special shout out to Steve and Alan for their continued hard work and they were all genuinely lovely guys. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Garden Alchemist, great guys that do a fantastic job and if you feed them with tea and biscuits you will make good friends for life !!! Thanks so muchPosted on Google![]()

Stunning, that’s how we describe the garden that Dan has delivered. His design, construction and choice of plants are perfect, we wouldn’t change anything. We now have a beautiful space to socialise with friends and family or just to enjoy on our own. We couldn’t wish for anything else. Dan and the team have been enthusiastic and fun throughout and we highly recommend them. Chris and AndyPosted on Google![]()

I’ve had the opportunity to see the team’s work up close and have always been impressed by their professionalism, attention to detail, and the quality of the finished results. They take real pride in their work, communicate well, and genuinely care about delivering a great outcome. I’d have no hesitation recommending them to anyone looking for landscaping services.Posted on Google![]()

A lot of companies offer hard landscaping designs and installation, but if you are after someone who can offer that but also really knows and understands his plants, then Dan is your man. His team worked hard in all weathers to complete our project and we are very pleased with the end result.Posted on Google![]()

Dan, is the Garden Alchemist and he is indeed an alchemist… he and his brilliant team squeezed me in between much larger projects and transformed my very sorry looking deck, that was rapidly sinking, into a sturdy, fresh new one! Adding a new walk way, a new garden shed and redirecting the irrigation system. Dan’s attention to detail is immaculate. I thoroughly recommend The Garden Alchemist, you couldn’t wish to meet a more likeable and capable team.
Bespoke Garden Design in Surrey for Exceptional Outdoor Spaces
Every garden we create starts with a carefully considered design, shaped around your property, lifestyle and how you use the space.
Whether you want a peaceful retreat or a bold architectural garden, the design should feel connected to your home.
For example, your garden could include:
- Feature patios and outdoor living spaces
- Thoughtfully structured planting
- Water features and focal points
- Fire pits and social areas
- Sensory planting for colour, fragrance, and texture
- Lighting and atmosphere for evening use
Walk Through Your Garden Before It Is Built
Every garden design begins by hand, with Dan sketching the ideas, shapes and features that will define your outdoor space.
Next, the refined concept is transformed into a detailed 3D visualisation, bringing the complete design to life. This combination of hand drawn creativity and digital design helps you understand the finished garden before construction begins.
You can then explore different viewpoints and see how planting, materials, pathways, seating and structural features work together.
In addition, you can view the garden during the day and after dark to understand the impact of lighting. As a result, you can make informed design decisions before the build begins.
A Rare Combination of Skills
Garden Design in Surrey
Most garden designers do not build their gardens, while most landscapers do not design them. Dan Goddard offers both services across Surrey and Hampshire.
Because Dan combines design, horticulture and landscape construction, every project benefits from joined up expertise from the outset.
His experience includes:
- Garden design expertise
- Professional horticultural knowledge
- Expert landscape construction
- Hands-on project leadership
As a result, the original design vision is carried through carefully to the finished garden.
