At Leicester Building Services we have a team of 3 expert designers, and within that team there is a specialist for every design scenario.

All of our designs are also looked over by our install specialist to ensure, before submission, that they are within your budget.

✔ We are completely impartial from any installers and material suppliers
✔ You choose the package that fits you project and needs, we don’t push on upgrading packages and we don’t save your data and bombard you with promotional material.
✔ We can offer payment in instalments during the design process to spread the cost
✔ We have a passion for design and seeing the beautiful project complete, we want to be integral to that process.
Upon appointment, we can show you why our designs pay for themselves.
Here are a few of the most common questions for our garden design services. If you have further questions or would like to contact one of our team, our office number is 0116 403 0470.
✔ We will help you ascertain what you need from your garden
✔ We will take time to understand your living habits and design a habitat to to compliment them
✔ Our designs will show you how to best utilise the space, sun, shade and opportunities within your garden
✔Having a clear garden design is proven to be the best way to efficiently execute a clear vision when installing your garden, the design acts as a clear reference point for both the installer and yourself
Without knowing it you are paying for a design nearly every time you have an installation, an installer will be happy to layout his vision of what your garden should be without providing you with an actual design of substance, and the price for this non existent design will be disguised in the overall price- our designs come complete with a quantitive report so you will be able to price the materials and employ the installer on a labour only basis to complete and project manage the install.
Most landscape companies generate a lot of their profits from material mark ups and taking away excess materials and using them on other jobs. The significant saving here alone goes along way to paying for your garden design.
You can avoid costly amendments, as a picture tells a thousand words, installing without a clear design can often lead to amendments as the job progresses, the first time you will see what you have discussed will be once its installed, amendments are costly and create a bad atmosphere between installer and client, the most cost effective time too make amendments and alterations will be in the design process with us- one of our designers is an ex installer of 25+ years, he ensures that before we submit our design to you that its designed to your budget (if you have chose to disclose one to us) or upon submission we are able to place an install value to the design.
One of the biggest issues at the moment in the Garden design is the disconnect between designer and installer on the cost of install, generally designers are out of touch with install prices and the client is left having to pay more than they was expecting to execute the plan or having to scale the plan back to make it fit within budget. Avoid this by choosing one of our design projects- having a design will make for great relationship between installer and client, the design acts as a blueprint for what’s expected from both parties, you as the client expect what is outlined in the design to be delivered and the installer in turn can reference the design as to where his obligations end. Its a proven method to make the install go as stress free as possible as there are no grey areas in project. Most installer - client relationships break down when there is not a clear design to reference back to for clarification purposes- finding the right installer, as well as being armed with a design and quantative report we will also include a guide on how to choose the perfect installer, there are so many pitfalls to navigate when employing an installer so having our support will eliminate the stress and financial waste of choosing one of the many poor ones
With our garden design plans, you have opportunity to also review a quantities and materials list. This means that you can bid farewell to any over-purchasing and unnecessary expenses. Our detailed quantities and materials lists provide a comprehensive overview of what is required for your garden space and plans. This is a great benefit when it comes to the installation and fulfilment of your design as it enables you to have have a clear understanding of what's needed, saving you both time and money.
Depending on your chosen package, you will work through various stages of planning, feedback and presentation. Our design consultation service provides an opportunity to discuss your project with one of our trusted designers. Ask any questions you may have, discuss your current situation, ascertain any areas of development and offer impartial advice on installers. For our more detailed packages, you can expect a minimum of 3 meetings with your designer, where we will provide a full walk through of what to expect. This is everything from initial concepts, feedback and amendment stages into the final design presentations, advisories and independent installer recommendations.
