Luxury Garden Design in Haywards Heath
We design and build gardens across Haywards Heath and the surrounding RH16 and RH17 villages — from Victorian townhouse plots near Muster Green to substantial country gardens out towards Borde Hill and Ansty.
Designing for Haywards Heath gardens
Haywards Heath sits on the Low Weald, which means most gardens here are working with heavy clay that holds water through winter and bakes hard in July. Almost every scheme we build in the town begins with drainage and soil structure rather than with hard landscaping — get that wrong and the finest terrace in Sussex will heave within three seasons.
The town's housing stock is unusually varied. Around Lucastes and Hazelgrove we work with mature Edwardian gardens where existing specimen trees set the frame. On the newer developments toward Bolnore Village, plots tend to be rectangular, overlooked, and in need of structure and screening before anything else.
- Clay-tolerant planting schemes that still deliver year-round colour
- Level changes and retaining structures for the town's sloping plots
- Screening and privacy design for closely spaced modern developments
- Natural stone terracing, sawn sandstone, porcelain and granite setts
How the process works
Every Haywards Heath project starts with a site survey and a conversation about how you actually use the garden — where the morning sun lands, where the children play, where you want to eat in August. From there we produce a concept plan, then a detailed master plan with planting schedules, materials and construction detail.
Because our workshop and team are based locally, we're on site regularly rather than in occasional visits. Most residential schemes in the town run between eight and twenty weeks on site depending on the level of structural work involved.
