Garden Design

Transform your outdoor space with expert planning

At AJT Landscaping, we create bespoke garden designs that transform outdoor spaces into functional, beautiful environments tailored to your lifestyle. Based in Ash, Surrey, we provide garden design services for homeowners and developers across Hampshire, Berkshire and Surrey, delivering expert advice, thoughtful planning and stunning results.

With over 14 years’ experience, AJT Landscaping helps clients avoid the high fees charged by independent surveyors and designers by offering a small design fee for a professional consultation and fully rendered 3D visualisation of your garden. This ensures you can see your garden before work begins, saving time, money and surprises during construction.

Why professional garden design matters

A well-designed garden isn’t just about planting or paving, it’s about creating a space that works for your lifestyle. Our garden design service considers:
Planting schemes for colour, seasonality and maintenance
Hard landscaping including patios, decking, pathways and fencing
Levels, slopes and drainage to make your garden functional year-round
Zones for dining, relaxing, entertaining, play or storage
Whether it’s a small private garden or a large open-plan space, we plan every element to maximise usability, aesthetics and long-term enjoyment.

Our garden design services

Planting Schemes

Seasonal Colour & Structure
We design planting schemes to suit your soil, climate, maintenance preferences and style. From large trees and shrubs to bedding plants and borders, every plant is selected to complement your garden’s overall design.

Zoning & Layout

Create Functional, Beautiful Spaces
We transform gardens by creating zones for dining, relaxing, entertaining, children’s play, or gardening, using clever screening, fencing, trees, and shrubs to provide privacy and a natural sense of flow.

Hard Landscaping Planning

Patios, Decking & Pathways
Our designs integrate hard landscaping elements seamlessly, including patios, decking, steps, pathways and retaining walls. This ensures a cohesive look that enhances both function and beauty.

3D Garden Visualisation

See Your Garden Before Work Begins
We provide fully rendered 3D visuals so you can experience your garden before construction. This allows adjustments to layout, features, materials and planting prior to work starting, ensuring confidence and satisfaction.

Creative garden design for all shapes and sizes

Designing small gardens

We specialise in making the most of compact outdoor spaces. AJT Landscaping will optimise your space and its functionality by creating carefully planned zones for dining, relaxing, or entertaining. Clever planting adds height, colour and texture, while thoughtfully designed hard landscaping ensures the garden feels larger, low-maintenance and is visually appealing.

Designing large open-plan gardens

For expansive gardens, we can help transform open spaces into practical, beautifully structured areas. Using a combination of fencing, screening, shrubs, trees and raised beds, we design distinct zones for entertaining, relaxing, play or gardening, while maintaining a cohesive overall look. Our approach balances openness with privacy, helping you enjoy large gardens that are both functional and visually stunning.

New build garden design

For developers and new-build homeowners, we provide tailored garden designs that enhance the property’s value and curb appeal. This includes layouts for lawns, patios, planting schemes, and integration of screening or boundary features for privacy and style.
