Garden design in Haslemere
Haslemere lies within the deeply wooded Greensand Hills of south-west Surrey and forms a gateway to the South Downs National Park. Its landscape includes woodland, heathland and rising ground, with Blackdown to the south of the town providing wide views across the Weald. Garden design in Haslemere should begin with a careful reading of the individual site: its position, topography, existing vegetation and relationship with the house. Our garden design and build service brings these considerations together to create a landscape that works naturally with its setting.
Landscaping in Haslemere
The Greensand landscape around Haslemere is defined by steep hills, woodland and areas of sandy, free-draining ground. Depending on the site, landscaping may need to resolve changes in level through terraces, steps, retaining structures and planted banks, while protecting the character of the existing landscape. Construction and planting should be planned as one scheme, so movement through the garden feels natural and new elements do not appear imposed on the slope. Material choices, drainage and planting are then developed in response to the particular conditions of the garden.
Haslemere’s historic core includes buildings constructed with sandstone from the Blackdown area, clay roof tiles and brick from the Low Weald.
For homes within or close to this setting, paving, walls, steps and boundary treatments should be considered in relation to the property’s own architecture and local materials. This does not require a traditional garden style. Contemporary detailing can sit comfortably alongside older buildings when the proportions, finish and relationship with the house have been carefully resolved. Planting then softens the built elements and gives the garden structure throughout the year.
