Thinking about giving your backyard a total refresh or starting a brand new garden from scratch? If you’re considering a full landscaping service in London, one of the first questions on your mind is probably: “How much is this really going to cost me?”
At Wondergardens, we believe in being upfront about pricing—so you can dream big, plan well, and feel good every step of the way. Let’s walk through what shapes the cost of landscaping and what you can expect when working with our team.
What Affects Landscaping Costs?
No two gardens (or gardeners!) are ever the same, so there are a few things that can influence your quote:
1. Project Scope
A complete backyard transformation—design, patios, paths, lighting, planting, the works—naturally costs more than a simple lawn or a few new flower beds.
2. Materials
Going for natural stone patios or premium timber? Want rare specimen plants or clever garden lighting? The materials you choose will play a big part in your final cost.
3. Design Complexity
Dreaming of a garden with water features, bespoke pergolas, or multi-level areas? More intricate designs require more skill, time, and hands-on effort.
4. Site Conditions
Things like slopes, soil quality, and how easy it is to access your garden can all affect how much preparation is needed.
