Why Choose Soil Sisters for Garden Design in Sevenoaks
Sevenoaks sits at the edge of the Greenbelt with Knole Park on its doorstep and a mix of period homes, Victorian terraces, and modern estates. That variety means no two gardens here are the same, and we like it that way.
We handle the full process from initial site visit through to hand-drawn concepts and 3D visuals to final build. Every design starts with understanding how you actually use (or want to use) your outdoor space, the soil and aspect conditions on your plot, and what the local planning context allows.
Our team works across Kent from our base in London, with particular experience in the Sevenoaks district including projects in Shoreham, Otford, Riverhead, Sundridge and Westerham.

- Family gardens with play zones, lawns, and low-maintenance planting that grows with your children.
- Courtyard and small garden design for terraced houses and new-build plots where every square metre counts.
- Contemporary landscapes with clean lines, composite decking, rendered walls and architectural planting.

Do you offer garden design and build in Sevenoaks?
Yes. We handle the full process from concept through to completion. Our build team works on hardscaping, planting, lighting, water features and garden structures. You deal with one team throughout.
Can you design a garden for a listed property in Sevenoaks?
Absolutely. The Sevenoaks district has many listed and conservation area properties. We understand the planning constraints and design gardens that respect the heritage of the building while giving you a modern, usable outdoor space.
How long does a garden design project take?
A design-only project typically takes 4–6 weeks from initial consultation to final drawings. A full design and build can take 8–16 weeks depending on scope. We give you a clear timeline at the quoting stage.
Do you work with landscapers in the Sevenoaks area?
We have our own build team rather than subcontracting to third-party landscapers. This means better quality control, clearer communication and a single point of contact for the entire project.
