Read moreWe survey, design and build gardens across Dorset, with projects from Christchurch and Bournemouth over to Poole, Sandbanks, Canford Cliffs and Lilliput and over to Swanage and The Purbecks. From complete garden landscaping and garden makeovers to adding statement garden features, advising on planting or upgrading lawns, decking, walls and patios, we do it all!
All our work is carefully planned to ensure you can make the most of your outdoor space and have a garden that really works for you.
Our years of experience, professional expertise and friendly team will give you the confidence to relax in the knowledge that, with Dorset Design and Build, you’re in safe hands.
We talk to our customers and listen carefully to find out how you want to use your outdoor space; the different roles it will need to fulfil, how much time, energy and money you expect to invest in future maintenance and your style preferences that will influence the materials and planting we suggest.
We want you to be able to enjoy every inch of your garden and you won’t find any ‘one size fits all’ solutions from us. Every garden we work on is individually planned, one-off and unique.
Planning is only the start; once we agree on a design and work starts on the transformation of your garden you can trust us to get the job done. We’re polite and tidy, we’ll keep you informed about what’s going on and we guarantee the highest quality workmanship on all aspects of the project.
The Dorset Design & Build team are a skilled bunch! We’ve got expertise across all the key areas of garden design and landscaping including earth-sculpting, brick-laying, carpentry, drainage solutions and surveying. We’ve also got access to all the technology and equipment we’ll need to get the job done.
We use a state-of-the-art Leica Total Station System that allows us to survey your site with laser accuracy to provide a reliable, detailed 3D site survey.
We have mini diggers that allow us to work effectively in small spaces or where access is difficult and can access whatever specialist equipment your project requires quickly and cost-effectively from our trusted network of suppliers.
Our professional team are fully committed to providing excellent standards of work that meet or exceed industry standards and requirements. We want your garden to look good now and for years to come, so quality workmanship, attention to detail and advice on maintenance are always key.
We work hard to ensure customer satisfaction and try to turn projects that can feel like a daunting prospect into an exciting experience for clients as they see their garden designs become reality.
