Ecological Garden Design
Habitat-led planning that actually works
This service turns assessment into a clear, functional plan. Designs focus on habitat value first, while still respecting your vision for how you want your garden to look and feel.
This is not landscaping design – it’s ecological function translated into space.
This service is available following a Wildlife Garden Audit.
Pricing

- Maintenance intent (what to leave, what to manage, when)
Best for
- Renovations
- New builds
- Serious wildlife gardens
Habitat Creation & Project Support
Getting it built properly
Habitat creation can be delivered through supervision, hands-on input, or targeted support at key stages of development. The aim is simple: habitats that work in the long term, not quick fixes.
This service typically follows a Wildlife Garden Audit or Ecological Garden Design.
Pricing
- Project support / supervision: £75 per hour
- Installation supervision day rate: £550 per day
Typical projects
- Wildlife ponds (new or upgraded)
- Wildflower patches and mini-meadows
- Hedgerows and wildlife thickets
- Deadwood and refuge features
- Bird and bat feature placement
Best for
- Clients DIY-ing
- Landscapers needing ecological input
- Community projects.
Seasonal Wildlife Management
Right action, right time
Wildlife gardening succeeds or fails on timing. Seasonal support ensures habitats are managed for wildlife, not tidied away by accident.
Pricing
- Seasonal visit: £80–£120 per visit
- Annual support package (2-3 visits): £200–£300
(Exact pricing depends on garden size and level of support required.)
What’s included
- Seasonal site visits
- Meadow cut advice
- Pond health checks
- Tree, shrub and hedge management guidance
- Ongoing advice without ad-hoc panic emails
Best for
- Established wildlife gardens
- Low-maintenance households
Monitoring, Evidence & Education
Understanding what’s working
Monitoring helps demonstrate impact, guide future decisions, and build confidence that habitats are delivering real benefits — for wildlife and for people.
This service typically follows habitat creation or seasonal wildlife management, but can also stand alone where evidence or engagement is the priority.
Pricing
- Monitoring visits / surveys: £150–£250 per visit
- Interpretation & engagement: Project-dependent
What’s included
- Before/after habitat condition notes
- Pollinator, bird or general wildlife observations
- Photo-point monitoring

- Education and engagement sessions
Best for
- Schools
- Councils
- Community sites
- Engaged homeowners
