Hillman Gardens specialises in garden landscape design, offering
personalised solutions to enhance outdoor spaces. With a focus on
understanding clients' individual needs, we use intuition and design
expertise to create unique and functional landscaping and gardening
plans. Clients can bring their ideas to the table, or start from
scratch with a simple feeling about the space they want to create.
Hillman Gardens are here to bring your garden dreams to life.
Your garden landscape design journey begins with an onsite consultation where the initial vision is discussed with your garden designer. A site survey is also conducted
A proposal is created detailing the full scope of landscape and garden services, including an itemised list of build elements, associated costs and estimated timelines
If your garden is complex, a 3D fly through model or separate planting design may be required to showcase the flow of the design
Your garden landscape design is brought to life through great craftsmanship by a team of construction experts
Hillman Gardens can provide oversight and manage all services required from designing to implementing your dream garden.
We also work closely with other members of your renovation team such as architects, interior designers and building contractors to achieve a cohesive aesthetic and dovetail with other construction works you may be undertaking at the same time.
We take on a wide variety of work — gardens suited for outdoor dining and entertainment, family friendly gardens, roof gardens and more. We will also design and build bespoke feature elements particular to client requests, for example, woodfired outdoor pizza oven, tree house or garden bar just to name a few
Hillman Gardens started 20 years ago and put down firm roots in Hackney, landscaping and gardening our way through gardens large and small in Dalston, Stoke Newington, Hackney Central, Clapton, London Fields and Homerton to name but a few.
Since then, we have expanded to suit the demand of our clients all over North and East London, taking on projects in Hampstead, Crouch End, Finchley, Highgate, Muswell Hill, Islington, Walthamstow and more.
We pride ourselves in delivering high quality, long lasting and beautiful gardens that bring joy to our clients and showcase our craftsmanship.
Our team is highly skilled and able to deliver technical work to the highest specifications. We also draw on contacts from the world of landscape architecture design, metalworkers, carpenters, permaculture etc. to add additional flair and finesse to the overall garden landscape design
Gardens vary in size and in what they present in the way of existing features, as a result costs will also vary. Typically, we design gardens with a construction cost starting at £15-20K
Outline concepts are provided free of charge. 3D garden design, planting design and other garden planning aspects are the next step. At this point a design fee is calculated based on a percentage of the overall projected build cost. If you choose to appoint Hillman Gardens to implement the design, the initial design fee will then act as a deposit to the full landscaping cost and will be deducted from the overall price
Yes, this is in fact always the case. Part payment will be taken before the construction phase so to ensure buying of materials and starting labour costs are covered. As the project progresses, further payments will be made, this can be tailored according to your preference and what is deemed sensible by the landscaping team. The final instalment will always be paid at the end of the job once all landscape and gardening services are completed
Delivery of less complex gardens with a 3-4 person landscaping team might take 1 - 2 weeks. Complex designs involving intricate builds can take up to 4 - 5 months with a larger team
The work Duncan has done has totally transformed the feel of the whole house. I look forward to the many years of enjoying the new space! Gareth, Forest Gate E8
