How you use the garden
Dining, play, growing, entertaining or simply looking out at it. The brief decides the layout.

Good garden design is mostly practical decisions made in the right order: where the sun falls, where you will sit, how you get from the back door to the lawn, and what happens to the rain. Get those right and the garden works. The style comes after.
PN Landscapes designs gardens in Uckfield as a design-and-build service. The people who draw the layout are the people who build it, so what is on paper is buildable, priced and suited to the ground.
What we design around
Sun, shade and shelter
Morning coffee and evening sun are rarely in the same place. We position seating to suit both.

Levels and drainage

Designing for Uckfield gardens
Local conditions shape what works. Wealden clay holds water in winter and cracks in summer, so we plan drainage and choose planting that tolerates it. Many plots in Uckfield, Ridgewood and Buxted slope, which is an opportunity for terraces and steps. Newer estates often have small, overlooked gardens where screening and level changes make the space feel larger.
Where a property is listed or within the High Weald National Landscape, we take the tighter planning rules into account at design stage.
Questions we are asked
Garden design FAQs
Do I need a garden designer or a landscaper?
For most domestic gardens a design-and-build landscaper covers both. If you have already commissioned drawings from a garden designer, we can build from those.
What should I prepare before a design visit?
A rough budget, a list of must-haves, and photos of gardens or materials you like. Knowing what you dislike about the current garden is just as useful.
Can you design a low-maintenance garden?
Yes. Porcelain or stone terraces, gravel areas over membrane, raised beds and a limited planting palette all cut upkeep without the garden looking bare.
Can you design a small or awkward garden?
Yes. Small, sloping and oddly shaped plots benefit most from design, because every square metre has to earn its place.
