Now booking spring & summer installs — a handful of design slots remain for this season.
Wealden Hills · Est. 2004
We design, build and care for outdoor spaces that get better every year — from first sketch to the fifth summer. Bespoke design, honest planting, and hands that stay long after the last slab is laid.
What we do
One team for the whole journey — so the garden that's designed is the garden that gets built, and the garden that gets cared for.
Bespoke plans drawn around how you actually live outdoors — scale drawings, planting schemes and mood boards you can picture before a spade goes in.
From £1,200 · design fee
Layered, year-round borders chosen for your soil and light — resilient natives and pollinator favourites that fill out fast and age gracefully.
From £85 · per m²
Natural-stone terraces, paths, steps and raised beds, laid to last. Proper foundations, crisp joints and drainage that copes with a wet winter.
From £140 · per m²
New turf and wildflower lawns, plus regular care that keeps everything looking intentional — pruning, feeding, edging and seasonal tidies.
From £48 · per visit
Ponds, rills and rain gardens that invite in dragonflies and birds — beautiful, low-maintenance features that make a garden feel alive.
From £950 · per feature
Low-voltage garden lighting that stretches the evenings — soft washes on planting, grazed walls and a path you can find after dark.
From £680 · per scheme
The transformation
A tired back garden in Ashcombe, reimagined over one season. Slide the handle to reveal the before and after.
Why Rowan Grounds
Most gardens fail in year two, when the crew that built them has long moved on. We design for the long game — and we're still here when the borders need dividing.
The designer who draws your garden is on site while it's built. Nothing gets lost in a hand-off.
Horticulturally trained planters who choose for your soil and light — not whatever's on the trolley.
If a plant we chose doesn't take in its first five years, we replace it. Simple as that.
Peat-free composts, no-dig where we can, and planting that feeds bees, birds and hedgehogs.
Seasonal offer
Book your on-site design consultation before the end of May and we'll take 15% off the design fee, plus a complimentary soil test for your borders. Limited to this season's diary.
Kind words
“They took a soggy, north-facing patch we'd given up on and turned it into the part of the garden we sit in most. The planting just keeps getting better.”
“The patio was laid properly — no puddles, no wobble, three winters in. You can tell the difference when people actually care about the sub-base.”
“We wanted a garden for the bees as much as for us. It hums all summer now, and the maintenance visits mean we barely lift a finger.”
