Frequently Asked Questions
What’s your availability for new landscaping and design projects?
We aim to get most projects started within 1–3 months of your consultation, thanks to our efficient planning and in-house team. Spring and summer book up quickly, so early enquiry is recommended. During your free consultation, we’ll walk you through realistic timelines tailored to your specific design and build goals.
Do you supply everything?
Yes – we manage the entire project from start to finish. We source top-quality materials from trusted Bristol suppliers like Kellaway, Bowland Stone, and Fountain Timber. Because we handle everything in-house, we maintain quality control at every stage and ensure your project runs smoothly and on time.
Can you install lighting?
Yes, we can install professional garden lighting. Just let us know what you need and we can sort it! We have experience installing a wide range of lights, from garden paths to spotlights. Just give us a call and we’d be happy to discuss the requirements.
Do you create custom designs?
Yes, every project begins with a custom design tailored to your unique vision and property. We consider factors like sunlight patterns, drainage, how you’ll use the space, and, of course, your style preferences. Our designs range from traditional English gardens to modern outdoor living spaces.
Do I need permission to landscape my garden?
Most garden projects won’t need planning permission, but some may, especially if they involve raised walls, drainage changes, or work near boundaries. In conservation areas, additional rules can apply. We know the local Bristol regulations well and can help you navigate any necessary permissions from the very start.
Does professional landscaping add value to my property?
Well-designed landscaping can increase property value by 5–15%, often offering a return higher than the original investment. Patios, driveways, and structured planting layouts not only boost kerb appeal but also help reduce time on the market when selling. In Bristol’s competitive housing market, thoughtful outdoor design makes a noticeable difference.
Can you work with my existing garden features?
We carefully integrate existing elements like trees, structures, or features you’d like to keep. Each design is planned to enhance what works and complement it with improvements, ensuring everything feels cohesive and intentional.

Client Testimonials
I can’t speak highly enough of Symbol Gardens, from the first time we spoke to finishing the project they have been faultless. They grasped what I was trying to achieve very quickly and utilising their knowledge and experience, added a few ideas which worked out better than I could of imagined. The team have been extremely professional and I highly recommend their workmanship as it's second to none. Looking forward to using Symbol Gardens again soon.
Sam Skidmore
HenleazeWhen deciding who to trust with my back garden patio, I was really concerned who to turn to as a women on my own without being taken advantage of. Symbol Gardens was recommended to me by a friend and from my first meeting, my concerns were dashed. The quotation that I received was clear and concise, broken down on all of the processes need to achieve what I was looking for. The workmen always arrived on time and did a full day’s work and always cleaned up after themselves. I have been so impressed with the end results and the service that I have received. I am now saving up to have my front garden done by the team too.
Maureen Garland
RedlandAdam laid a new patio for us in natural stone. It looks great! He went the extra mile to lay it exactly as we wanted - including some complicated curves. We hadn't supplied enough stone but he went himself to get the extra stone and make sure it was all done on time. He was a very tidy and respectful worker and took care to ensure the rest of the garden was protected, despite a very tight working area.
