Garden Design in Haslemere

What is Haslemere known for?

Haslemere is a charming market town found in the very south of Surrey. Bordering Hampshire and West Sussex, it features a mix of new build and more established gardens. Another gem of the Surrey Hills area of outstanding natural beauty, Haslemere shares many similar traits with towns such as Godalming and Farnham, with beautiful parks and gardens as well as historic houses from which to draw inspiration to revitalise or renovate an outdoor space or garden. Timbered and tile-hung houses and cottages as well as arts and crafts properties are in evidence.

‘Firepits are a popular choice in this rural setting…’

How do we tailor our approach?

The number of hills in and around the town, including wooded areas, means that garden design in Haslemere often involves a strong element of innovative, creative problem-solving to incorporate significant slopes within designs, either through means such as stepped levels or creating retaining walls, or levelling parts of the design by extracting some of the soil.

The town is highly commutable by road or rail, drawing those looking for a more relaxed pace of life and more space while remaining in striking distance of London, and the larger gardens often found in more rural settings like this one mean that options such as adding pergolas to add interest and give shade in sunny weather become possible as well as desirable.

Mature trees can also be wrapped into garden design in this part of Surrey, perhaps to provide privacy from any neighbouring, overlooking homes. Firepits with seating are also a popular choice to enjoy the peace and tranquillity that can be found in this rural setting with the abundance of woodlands and heathlands and the beautiful South Downs on its doorstep.
