How these tools work

Guidance, not quotes

Honest guidance, tailored to your garden. No prices, no sign-ups, no pressure.

Each tool asks a few targeted questions about your garden, then uses horticultural logic to produce a tailored result. Some assess a level (1 to 4), others recommend specific seed mixes or plant combinations. The result is a starting point, the actual scope and price can only be confirmed once we see the garden in person.

A note on results

These tools give you a starting point. The garden gives us the answer.

Access, waste, ground conditions, material choice, urgency and site complexity all affect what is really involved. Use the tool, then send photos for an accurate, fixed price.

Garden planning tools laid out on a wooden bench

Each tool asks 5 to 14 questions, then produces a tailored result. No two gardens produce the same answer.

How a tool actually works

Five questions in. A tailored result out. Two minutes total.

Each tool asks a small number of targeted questions about your garden, sun, soil, size, condition, what you want from the result. The tool runs those answers against horticultural logic built from our work in the Chilterns, and produces a single tailored result.

Some tools give you a level (1 to 4). Some give you a named seed mix with botanical names and percentages. Some give you a recovery score out of 100 with an action plan. None of them give you a price, because the actual scope and price can only be confirmed once we see the garden in person.

Use the result as a starting point. Then send us a few photos via WhatsApp or the quote form, and we will turn it into an accurate, fixed price.
