Garden Design in Frome

Thoughtful garden design for homes in Frome

We are Sanders Landscapes, a family-run team of garden designers and landscape gardeners based right here in Frome. Since 2020 we have designed and built around 50 gardens across the town and the surrounding villages, from small courtyards to large country plots. Every garden starts with you: how you want to use the space, how you want it to feel, and how you live day to day. Then we design it and build it, with one team you can trust from the first visit to the final plant.

Design and build, all under one roof

Most garden designers hand you a plan and leave you to find a builder. We do both. That means no gaps, no finger pointing, and no nasty surprises. Your designer and your landscapers are the same team, so the garden you are shown is the garden you get. We look after the design, the hard landscaping, the planting and the finishing touches, and we keep you in the loop at every stage. It is a calmer, simpler way to end up with a garden you will love for years.

Frome and surrounding villages

We are proud to be a Frome business, and most of our work is within about 15 miles. That covers Frome, Mells, Norton St Philip, Beckington, Rode and out towards Bath and Bruton. If you are a little further afield in Somerset, Wiltshire or Dorset, get in touch anyway. For the right project we are always happy to travel.

How we work

At the time of receiving your consultation report, you’ll have the option to continue straight into the design process—securing our next available design slot. Of course, you’re welcome to come back anytime, whether in a week or months later. Please note, our design and build slots are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

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.
