Landscaping & Build
Exceptional craftsmanship. Enduring results.
We bring every design to life with the same precision and care that shaped it — managing every aspect of the build from groundworks to final planting.
Our Build Service
From concept to completion, entirely in-house
At Imago Gardens, design and build are inseparable. We don't hand your project to a third-party contractor — our own skilled craftsmen execute every element of the build, working directly from the design drawings and under the close supervision of your project designer.
This integrated approach means nothing is lost in translation. The stone is laid exactly as drawn. The levels are precise. The planting is positioned to the millimetre. The result is a garden that matches the vision — not an approximation of it.
We manage every trade: groundworks, drainage, structural engineering, hard landscaping, metalwork, water features, irrigation, lighting, and planting. You have a single point of contact throughout, and a single standard of excellence applied to every detail.

Project delivery
How we manage your build
Design & pre-build planning
Every build begins with a thorough design stage — site surveys, concept development, material selection, and detailed construction drawings. Once the design is agreed, we prepare a full build programme, coordinate all trades, and align on a clear timeline before any work begins on site.
Site preparation
Groundworks, drainage, and any structural elements are completed first — the invisible foundation on which everything else depends.
Hard landscaping
Paving, walls, structures, and water features are built to drawing, with regular design reviews to ensure every detail is correct.
Soft landscaping & planting
Soil preparation, lawn installation, and planting are carried out by our horticulturalists — the final layer that brings the garden to life.
Snagging & handover
We carry out a thorough snagging process before handover, and provide a full aftercare guide and maintenance schedule for your new garden.
