FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What areas do you cover?

Hannah Phillips Garden Design provides professional garden design services within an approximate 40-mile radius of Nassington (PE8) covering Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Rutland, Leicestershire and South Lincolnshire. This includes site visits and consultations across local historic settings and towns such as Oundle, Stamford, Oakham, Peterborough, and Corby.

How much does an initial consultation cost?

An initial garden design consultation with Hannah costs £90 plus travel expenses for sites located more than 10 miles from her studio in Nassington. This initial meeting allows her to discuss your brief, assess the unique site conditions of your garden, and explore ideas for a thoughtful, sustainable transformation.

Do you take care of landscaping and construction?

No, Hannah Phillips Garden Design is a design-only studio specialising in creative, sustainability led garden concepts, planting plans and technical drawings. We do not provide physical landscaping services. Instead, we provide bespoke, hand-drawn plans and 3D renders that give you everything required to secure accurate build quotes from independent contractors.

Can you suggest a landscaper to build my garden design?

Yes, we have a network of trusted, independent, professional landscape contractors across the East Midlands & East of England whom we can introduce for your build. Because you contract directly with the landscaper you retain full control over your construction budget while working with a known specialist.

After the design stage is complete, what are the next steps?

Once your final garden design is approved, the next step is to tender the technical drawings and planting schedules to professional landscape contractors to secure construction quotes. We hand over a comprehensive design package that contains the exact specifications a contractor needs to price and execute the project accurately.

Do you monitor the build or visit site during construction?

Yes, while Hannah does not provide full project management she offers a dedicated site monitoring service, charged as an ad-hoc visit fee to review the build's progress. These site visits allow us to consult with you and your chosen landscaper during critical construction phases and ensure the physical build aligns with the original design vision.
