At Designs for All Seasons, we believe a garden should be more than just an outdoor space - it should be a living, breathing extension of your home, designed to bring beauty, joy, and a deep connection to nature throughout the seasons.
Our approach works with, rather than against, the natural world, crafting spaces that are not only visually stunning but also rich in biodiversity and year-round interest.
“Selina understood my wants and needs before they had even properly formed in my mind. Her professionalism, creativity and attention to detail are truly impressive.”
“The garden has transformed already in the first year beyond our expectation and we have thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the plants come out at differing times. There always seems to be something new starting to flourish.”

The timeline for designing and building a garden varies depending on its size and complexity. The design process alone typically takes 1–3 months, allowing time for consultations, concept development, revisions, and final plans. Once the design is complete, the construction phase can take anywhere from 6 to 18 weeks, but can extend significantly depending on factors such as the scope of work, materials, and weather conditions. In many cases, elements of the design phase, such as sourcing materials or finalising planting plans, can overlap with the build, helping to streamline the process.
