How can I reduce the cost of installing a new garden?

There are many ways to do this. Firstly, be open to the recommendations of the landscaper. We usually recommend the most economical option first. Often by reutilizing what is on site, we can reduce the cost of an installation. We work with what is there, rather than ripping everything out and starting again. The client can always work off our design but install the garden themselves, using their own labour. We can supply all the materials required at competitive retail rates, or the client can shop around and acquire the goods themselves. We firstly do the most important sections, as most of our clients are not able to install the entire garden all at once. We can tackle the more difficult work for the client, and leave the client to do the fun stuff like planting and selecting and installing pots and other decorative features.

TIP : Gordon Stuart Landscaping offers their gardeners at a competitive day rate, which means a client can utilise our staff’s experience and muscle power if they are willing to fetch and supervise the gardeners themselves. If required, the gardeners can be sent with a basic set of tools. Subject to availability of gardeners. Prior booking required.
