Why Use a Garden Designer?

“WHY IS IT SO EXPENSIVE TO USE A GARDEN DESIGNER?”
DESIGNER SHOES ARE EXPENSIVE TOO (AND DON’T LOOK NEARLY AS GOOD…)

We spend so much time and money on our interiors and often only give passing thought to realising the potential of our outdoor spaces. Great garden design can completely elevate your lifestyle and with IBYG you’re paying for 750 gardens’ worth of expertise and experience. When working with IBYG, be confident we’ll design you a garden that ticks the boxes. Yes, it’s an investment, but when made with the right company, it will add a huge amount of value to your home and your quality of life for years to come.

BECAUSE YOU’RE PAYING US TO DO IT, SILLY!

Our team will work closely with you to bring your outdoor garden design to life within your budget and your timeline. To ensure the best overall finished product, the best quality products and the most competitive prices, we source all our products internally. But never fear, we will get you great quality plants (that are alive and kicking!) at competitive prices.

WHY USE CRAYONS WHEN IBYG CAN USE VR

When the client and the team understand each other and have clear parameters around the project – e.g. budgets, timelines, ‘must haves’, ‘want to haves’  – we almost always create a design that all parties love (remember, we’ve done this 750 times…). On the rare occasion that doesn’t happen, we chuck on the kettle, crack open the digestives, turn to the design, and do our utmost to find a positive win-win solution.

“I just wanted to say thank you for my lovely garden! I’ve been watching it progress over the last couple of weeks, and taking photos each day to track the transformation. Coming home to find the plants in situ was a wonderful experience – I love the way it looks, and it’s such a joyful space. I really like the planting and your choice of herbs, grasses, shrubs, plants. I especially like the use of the paddle stones around the little standard plant in the middle. I can’t wait to show the garden off to friends and family!”
