3D Garden Design in Surrey
See Your Garden Before It Is Built
The Garden Alchemist provides 3D garden design in Surrey, helping you explore your future garden before construction begins.
Every garden starts with an idea. However, it can sometimes be difficult to imagine how different layouts, materials and planting will work together.
That is where 3D garden design makes a real difference.
Dan combines hand drawn concepts, detailed plans and realistic 3D visualisations. As a result, you can see how your finished garden could look before any landscaping work begins.
With more than 30 years of experience in garden design, horticulture and landscape construction, Dan also understands how designs work in practice. Therefore, every concept considers both appearance and buildability.
Design Only
Our Design Only service is ideal for homeowners who want a professional garden design that they can implement themselves or pass to their preferred landscaping contractor.
You will receive a clear and detailed plan for your garden, helping you understand the proposed layout, key features, materials and overall direction of the transformation. Therefore, every element of the garden can be planned with the finished space in mind. For example, planting, materials and layout can all be refined before any construction work begins.
Design fees typically start from:
Small gardens: £1,599 plus VAT
Medium gardens: £1,899 plus VAT
Large gardens: from £2,399 plus VAT
Our Designs Include:
- A personal consultation, either in person or remotely
- A bespoke garden design tailored to your property
- A detailed 2D landscape plan
- A visual inspiration board
- Guidance on key materials and finishes
- Consideration of planting, pathways, seating and focal points
- One design revision
From Hand Drawn Ideas to 3D Garden Design
Dan begins the creative process by hand. Initial sketches help establish the layout, proportions and key features of the garden. Next, these ideas develop into a more detailed design.
The garden can then be recreated digitally through realistic 3D visualisation. This allows you to explore the garden from different viewpoints. In addition, you can see how planting, pathways, materials and structural features relate to one another.
As a result, it becomes much easier to understand the scale and character of the proposed garden. Detailed 2D plans help define the layout and provide a clear overview of the proposed space. They can show pathways, planting areas, patios, structures and other important features.
These plans also provide an important bridge between the creative design and practical construction.
Therefore, decisions can be made before work begins rather than once the garden is already under construction.
See Your Garden by Day and Night
Lighting can completely transform the atmosphere of an outdoor space.
During the day, the focus may be on planting, materials and the overall structure. However, the same garden can feel very different once evening arrives.
3D visualisation allows lighting to become part of the design from the beginning.
For example, subtle lighting can highlight planting, pathways or architectural features. Meanwhile, warmer lighting can make seating and entertaining areas feel more inviting.
By viewing the garden both during the day and at night, you can understand how the space will work throughout more of the day.
Precision Landscaping with Schellevis Slabs
Schellevis slabs create a bold, industrial look inspired by brutalist design. These large format slabs weigh approximately 800kg each and require specialist equipment, including a stone magnet that uses suction to lift and position them safely.
Laying them successfully demands precision landscaping, careful preparation and exceptional attention to detail.
For example, Schellevis slabs can introduce clean lines, subtle texture and a contemporary finish while complementing the wider garden design.
It is a highly specialised installation that not every landscaper can undertake, but the result is a striking, contemporary finish with clean lines and real architectural presence.
In addition, their understated finish helps the paving sit naturally alongside planting, lawn and other landscaping features.
Design Only or Complete Garden Build
You may already have a landscaper in mind and simply need a professional garden design. Alternatively, you may want The Garden Alchemist to manage the complete transformation.
Both options are available. For design only projects, you receive a carefully developed garden design that can guide the future build.
For complete projects, Dan and his team can continue from the design stage into landscaping and construction. This creates continuity from the first concept through to the finished garden.
Our 3D garden design in Surrey service helps you make confident decisions about layout, materials and planting before construction begins.
Every design combines creativity with practical knowledge. Therefore, you can explore an exciting vision for your garden while knowing that it has also been designed with construction in mind.
