While July might be all about long evenings and enjoying the garden in full bloom, it’s also the ideal time to start planning for what comes next.
At MRLandscapes, we know that the best garden transformations begin with thoughtful design, and that starts well before the first spade hits the ground. That’s why we’re encouraging homeowners to start planning now for autumn and winter builds.
Why Plan Now?
Lead Times Matter
Summer is a busy season for garden design, and quality takes time. Starting your consultation now ensures there's time to develop a tailored design, select the right materials, and schedule your build before autumn fills up.
Design Without Pressure
With longer days and your garden in full use, it’s easier to visualise how you want to live outdoors. Starting your design now gives you space to think, plan, and make the right choices for your home and lifestyle.
Ready for Next Spring
Gardens built in autumn or winter are ready to enjoy by spring. Early planning means you won’t miss a moment once the warmer weather returns.
Our Process
We take a hands-on approach from the start, beginning with a site visit, followed by concept sketches, planting palettes, and a detailed design plan that reflects your vision and the character of your home.
Whether you want a full transformation, a new dining terrace, or to rework planting zones, we’ll guide you through every stage with expert advice and care.
We’re currently taking bookings for autumn and winter garden builds, and slots are filling up quickly.
