LUXURY LANDSCAPING
Long evenings on a terrace that catches the last of the sun, a view worth looking at from every window, and a garden that looks as considered in February as it does in July.
BESPOKE OUTDOOR LIVING
A garden is easiest to get right when it is drawn before anything moves. Levels, drainage, sightlinesfrom the windows, where the sun sits at six in the evening, how the terrace meets the threshold without astep. Whether we are starting from bare ground, reworking a garden that has grown up over years orkeeping the trees and planting you would never part with, everything is designed around what is alreadythere and what you want it to become. Because the same team builds the house, the garden is drawn aspart of it rather than arriving separately.
Where your project starts depends on where you are today. Either way, everything is fully visualised and agreed with you before we produce your proposal.
We work from your existing drawings, so you are not paying twice for work already done. Kevin reviews what you have and brings his full experience to it, designs the interiors and specification around it, and moves you towards a proposal sooner than a project starting from scratch.
Kevin starts from a conversation about how you want to live in the space, discusses your vision and what you want the finished home to feel like, then our team produces full 2D plans and 3D renders. You approve every room on screen before anything is costed or committed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes, and it is the best time to do it. Levels, drainage and the threshold between inside and outside are alleasier to get right when both are drawn together rather than one following the other.
Yes. Falls, soakaways and drainage are designed into every terrace and path, which is what stops standingwater and movement later on.
Natural stone, porcelain, brick, timber, resin and more. Kevin will walk you through how each wears inBritish weather and how it will sit against the house.
Yes. Planting schemes are designed for the aspect, the soil and how much time you want to spendmaintaining it.
Yes, and mature planting is usually worth designing around. Kevin will tell you at the first visit what is worthkeeping and what is holding the garden back.
Yes, designed in from the start alongside irrigation and any garden structures.
Yes, all of them, and they are best designed as part of the garden rather than added to it afterwards.
Design typically runs over a few weeks, and the build depends on scope and on groundworks. You receive anindicative programme with your proposal.
It depends on the size of the garden, the amount of groundwork and the materials specified. Kevin will giveyou a realistic range at the first visit, before you have spent anything.

Given the task of producing smart units at the end of a living area, but future proofing for a kitchen should the room change its use, Kevin guided us through all the options with infinite patience. The result is most pleasing, matching the walls to perfection and a pleasure to look at and use. The fitters came on time, left on time and were skilled and careful – all supervised by Kevin who is very hands on. Rare these days. We could not be happier.

We have worked with Kevin a number of times on different projects over the past 10 years and have always found him to be reliable, professional and great fun to work with. Kevin has a great eye for design and is an excellent project manager who makes the whole process painless. His advice through every stage was invaluable, from planning the design right through to the finishing touches. Nothing is too much trouble and any problems are addressed immediately. He always goes above and beyond and the end result of our latest project together is even better than we could have imagined! We are absolutely delighted with everything and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

We have seen most of Kevin’s work over the last few years and can honestly say the design and finish of his kitchens and builds are outstanding. We can thoroughtly recommend Stevens Design & Build, both Kevin on a personal level, and the company on a professional level. If you have any doubts just go for it.

We engaged Kevin to design our kitchen five years ago as we wanted to swap two entire rooms, moving the kitchen to another location, which we knew would be beyond most designers as they are usually kitchens only. As an all round designer and project manager, we knew that Kevin would also be able to design a complementary room where the old kitchen was, taking the theme through into the second space. We liked the results so much that we’ve just had him back to design two bedrooms for our daughters, which they love.

Many thanks to you and your team for all your hard work and making our small project reality, with the minimum of disturbance to ourselves. We couldn’t have asked for better organisation and site cleanliness and that’s all down to you Kevin, absolutely outstanding. As for the final result : Superb. Highly recommend. Many Thanks. Ave and Sandra.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the work Stevens Design & Build did on our recent project. They managed every aspect of the build, from the construction itself to the flawless installation of the kitchen, utility, and pantry. The entire project was completed right on schedule and within the budget we set, which is a rare find in this industry. Not only did they meet my expectations, but they truly exceeded them with their attention to detail and quality craftsmanship. I was so impressed that I’ve already recommended them to one of my friends who’s planning a similar project. If you’re looking for a team that delivers outstanding results, look no further than Stevens Design & Build!
