Garden Design in Somerset

Bespoke garden design across Somerset

Sanders Landscapes is a family-run garden design and build studio based in Frome, working with homeowners across Somerset. Since 2020 we have created around 50 gardens, from town plots to country gardens set into the Somerset landscape. Whatever the size, every garden is designed around the people who use it, built by our own team, and finished to last.

Our team covers design to finished garden

We are designers and landscapers, which means we take your garden all the way from the first sketch to the final plant. You get one team, one point of contact and one standard of care throughout. There is no handing over to a separate builder, and no gaps where things get lost. Just a clear, calm process and a garden built exactly as it was designed.

Gardens rooted in their setting

Somerset gardens deserve to feel part of the landscape around them. We blend old and new, reuse materials where we can, and plant for wildlife and the seasons. From reclaimed stone to biodiversity-friendly planting, every choice is made with care, so your garden feels grounded, natural and truly yours.

Areas we cover

We are based in Frome and work throughout Somerset, including Bath, Bruton, Wells, Shepton Mallet, Frome and the surrounding villages, and out into Wiltshire and Dorset. If you have a project in mind, get in touch and we will let you know how we can help.

How we work

Every garden we create follows the same clear path, from the first conversation to the day we hand it over. Here is what to expect.

After your consultation, we spend up to a week refining your design brief, incorporating your feedback, and creating a clear, personalised plan. We also discuss costs upfront to keep budgets, timelines, and expectations aligned.

The next step is a detailed site survey to create an accurate, scaled design. We’ll take soil samples, measure dimensions and levels, capture photos, and record site notes. For larger or more complex gardens, a professional landscape surveyor may be involved, or you might already have a topographical survey.

Next, we’ll develop a scaled concept design along with a concept mood board and 3D visuals to help you imagine your transformed garden. We then meet to review the proposal, discuss any adjustments, and explore material samples together.

We then move on to the Masterplan—a scaled layout with general specifications. Detailed design drawings follow, with precise layouts, material scopes, dimensions, and any necessary construction details for accurate installation. Planting plans and quantities are also presented so you get a full picture of how your garden will come to life.

Having a dedicated design and build team means your project is managed smoothly from start to finish. During the build phase, our experienced team handles every step with care and precision. If unexpected challenges arise, we address them quickly and creatively, ensuring the project stays on track without compromising quality or your vision.

We carefully select and install plants to bring your garden to life, paying close attention to seasonal and site conditions. To support your garden during its crucial establishment years, we work with trusted maintenance companies and local gardeners who can provide ongoing care and guidance.

A Wonderful Transformation

In 2023, Sanders Landscapes transformed my steep, muddy office garden into a charming terraced space with a beautiful patio and thoughtful planting. They maximised the sunny areas, creating a relaxing spot with stunning valley views.

An Absolute Pleasure

Lawrence and his team were an absolute pleasure to have working on our garden, polite, cheerful, and tidy. But most importantly the work they did has completely transformed the way that we use the space for the better.
