Garden Designers in Brighton
10 garden designers listed in Brighton.
Brighton has a strong community of garden designers, and nearly all of those on this page are based in the city itself. They are spread across both the BN1 and BN2 postcode areas, from the central and northern parts of Brighton through to Kemp Town and the eastern side towards the Downs.
The Garden House and Alex Plumley Garden Design are both listed in Brighton, as are Happy Gardens Design and Calibre Garden Design and Build. Some firms only design, handing the build over to a separate landscaper, while others both design and build. Others focus on sustainable or wildlife gardens, or on garden rooms. Deciding early whether you want design only or a single firm to see the job through will narrow down the list quickly. Looking through each designer's portfolio for gardens of a similar size and style to your own is the easiest way to start.

Gardening in Brighton
Brighton sits on the chalk of the South Downs, so much of the city has thin, alkaline, free-draining soil that dries out fast in summer. Many gardens are small, steep or terraced, especially in the older streets, and some are tucked into basements or courtyards. The sea brings a mild climate with few hard frosts, but salty winds can scorch leaves, particularly on the seafront and in exposed spots. When briefing a designer, ask about plants that love chalk and wind, such as lavender, rosemary, sea kale, euphorbias and grasses, and about clever use of levels and screening.
How to choose a garden designer in Brighton
When choosing a garden designer in Brighton, look at their portfolio for small or sloping urban gardens if that matches your own plot. Ask whether they design only or manage the build too, and how they charge, whether by the hour, as a fixed fee or as a percentage of build cost. A good designer should ask about soil, light, wind and how you use the garden before sketching anything. If you live in one of the city's conservation areas, check they understand any planning rules on walls, fences and structures before work starts.
