A straight answer
What does a Buckinghamshire garden project cost?
Most landscapers will tell you 'prices vary, call us'. We'd rather you walked into a conversation knowing roughly where you stand. The one fixed figure we can give you is our design consultation — £60 inc. VAT for design and large projects; small fencing and lawn visits are free. The bands below are broad, illustrative starting-from guides for our south Bucks area — not fixed prices, and not a quote.
Design consultation & 3D visualisation
£60 inc. VAT
A proper hour-to-hour-and-a-half visit for design and larger projects, where we walk the plot, take your brief and set up the SketchUp 3D walk-through. This is our one fixed figure. Small fencing and lawn jobs skip it entirely — those start with a free site visit.
Fencing, wildflower & smaller jobs
free first visit
Jacksons-approved fencing runs, boundary and gate work, a wildflower meadow install or a new lawn all start with a free, no-obligation visit and a clear itemised quote. Cost is driven by length, access and the materials you choose — with fencing carrying Jacksons' 25-year treatment guarantee.
Patios, decking & water features
quoted per project
A porcelain or natural-stone terrace with fire pits or raised planters, a bespoke deck, or a pond and water feature. Priced by size, materials and how much groundwork the base needs underneath — quoted clearly once we've seen the plot.
Full design & build gardens
quoted after 3D design
Levels, hard landscaping, fencing, structures, planting and lawns designed and built as one scheme — really several jobs in one. We quote against the agreed 3D model so you can see exactly what you're paying for, and phase it if you'd like. Large-space projects also fold in surveys and structural engineering coordination.
What moves the price
- The size of the garden and how much of it we're transforming.
- Ground conditions — levels, slope, drainage and what's under the surface on Chiltern chalk.
- The materials you choose, especially for paving, decking, structures and water features.
- Whether the scheme needs surveys or structural engineering coordination on a larger plot.
- Access to the garden for machinery and for taking waste away.
- Whether certified specialist work — carpentry, electrical connections or irrigation — is involved.
The only way to get a real figure is a proper look at the plot. Charley will walk the garden with you, tell you straight what's involved, and — for design projects — build it in 3D so you can see the finished scheme before you commit to it.
