The most common question we get asked: "Will this add value to my house?"
The honest answer: probably, yes — but the evidence is more nuanced than the headlines suggest.
You'll see estate agents claim landscaping adds 20% to property value. That number gets repeated everywhere, but try to trace it to a study with actual methodology and it doesn't hold up.
What peer-reviewed evidence does support is a range of roughly 5–15%, depending on property type, location, and what buyers expect. At Surrey price levels, even 5% is significant.
But here's what we think matters more:
A garden you actually use and enjoy, every day, for years — that's a return you measure in quality of life, not just property value.
Over 50 years of landscaping in Surrey, we've designed gardens for people at every stage. The principle stays the same: build for how you live now, use quality materials, and maintain properly. The value — financial and personal — takes care of itself.
