For more than 50 years, Garden Designers and Landscape Architects have handed their drawings to Graduate Gardeners and watched them built, both hard and soft landscaping, exactly as intended.
Now that service has its own name: Graduate Build.
We know that trusting your design to a contractor is not a small thing. You’ve shaped every level, every line and every planting choice alongside your client, and you need a build team that respects your plan rather than redrawing it. Graduate Build does one thing, it builds your vision, faithfully, and leaves the design credit where it belongs: with you.
Our reputation rests on doing the job right and doing it only once. Since 1974 we have won 52 BALI National Construction Awards 12 RHS Gold Medals at Chelsea and Malvern.
Every project is delivered by directly employed, in-house teams, six or seven crews, each led by a foreman who has built show gardens to exacting standards, managed by a dedicated QS, and a professional contract manager, with a combined 50 years’ experience in the industry between them.
James Rogers, QS and Contracts Manager
We bring our own equipment, our own irrigation and lighting specialists, and craftsmen who treat your specification as the brief, not a suggestion.
One contract manager is your single point of contact from first quote to final handover. They will price against your bill of quantities, or help you draw one up, advise on construction methods and materials, and keep you informed at every stage. Your client stays your client. Your design stays your design. We simply make it real.
From our purpose-built nursery in Bisley, we build across Gloucestershire and the surrounding counties, and travel further afield for larger projects throughout the South West, London and beyond.
If you design gardens and want a build partner whose only ambition is to do justice to your work, talk to us about Graduate Build.
Graduate Build, designed by you, built to award-winning standards.
