Design
We resolve the layout and enough detail to understand the scope properly.
Design & build
One route from first sketch to final planting.
For larger garden transformations, keeping design and delivery together makes decisions clearer and the finished garden more coherent.

The service
Our design-and-build route carries the original idea through hard landscaping, structures, planting and finishing details.
This is useful when the garden involves several connected elements — new terraces, walls, steps, drainage, structures, lighting, planting and perhaps changes in level. Instead of the design becoming a set of drawings passed between separate teams, the original logic stays visible throughout the build.

A good fit when
This service is likely to suit you if…
You want one joined-up route from design to completion
The project has significant hard landscaping or level changes
Several trades or phases need coordinating
You care about the small finishing details surviving construction
What happens next
From first conversation to a resolved garden.
Plan & price
The build is broken into clear elements, materials and practical sequencing.
Construct & plant
Hard landscape, structures and planting are coordinated so each stage supports the next.
The Alder & Stone approach
Quiet decisions. Strong result.
We avoid overfilling a garden with features. Proportion, circulation, a limited material palette and confident planting usually do more than a long wish list.
That restraint also gives the garden room to age. Stone weathers, timber softens, plants fill out and the space becomes less “new” and more like part of the property.
