If you’ve been dreaming about a garden that’s not just nice, but actually amazing, November is the perfect time to start planning. It might feel early — winter is coming, after all — but the truth is, the sooner you start, the sooner your dream garden can become a reality.

By starting now, you can make sure your garden is ready to build as soon as the spring weather arrives, and you’ll be ahead of everyone else scrambling to book builders and designers


Get Your Garden Ready for Spring

Imagine this: spring comes, the sun is out, and your garden is ready — every detail exactly how you wanted it. By planning your garden in November, you can:

  • Secure your preferred build dates for spring.
  • Make sure all materials, plants, and paving are ready.
  • Finalise a bespoke design without rushing.

Starting now means you won’t be waiting around — you’ll be ready to enjoy your perfect garden as soon as the weather improves


Why Planning Properly Makes a Difference

A beautiful garden doesn’t happen by chance. A professional garden design will make sure every part of your outdoor space works for you. You’ll get:

  • A full site survey to see what works in your garden and what doesn’t.
  • Detailed plans showing exactly where everything will go.
  • Advice on hard landscaping, lighting, planting, and outdoor features.

Planning now gives you time to get it right — so by spring, your garden isn’t just built, it’s perfect.


November Is Ideal for Planning

In November, your garden’s structure is fully visible — no leaves or plants hiding things from view. This makes it easier to:

  • Decide where seating, firepits, or water features should go.
  • Choose paving, stonework, or luxury slabs.
  • Create a planting scheme that looks amazing all year round.

Even though it’s late in the year, November is actually the smartest time to plan your garden so you can enjoy it sooner.


When spring comes, you’ll have a garden you can be proud of — a space that’s exactly what you imagined.
