Contemporary Garden Design & Build
Our garden design consultancy is directed by Dean Bolton-Grant who founded Grant Horticulture in 2013.
Garden design is at the heart of Grant Horticulture. We believe gardens have the power to be provocative and nurturing, whilst being responsibly and sensitively designed to fit their surroundings and provide timeless spaces to enjoy across all seasons. As creative creatures, our approach to garden design is always imaginative but with the primary focus being our clients’ needs and the core principles of design.
Working with our dedicated team at our design studio, you will be taken through a step by step design process. The process typically includes initial consultations and thought provoking discussions, a period of design submission and review, before moving towards final design, project planning, planting schemes and budget.
When it comes to building and installing your design, our experienced team will manage the process from start to finish, calling on our trusted network of contractors and suppliers to ensure every detail of the design in executed to the highest standard.
