Precise Garden Topography Surveys in Oxfordshire & Surrounding Counties

Knowing your garden’s contours, levels, and features is the essential first step in design. At First Garden Design, our garden topography surveys deliver highly accurate, customised site data to homeowners and designers throughout Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Northamptonshire and the Cotswolds.

What Our Garden Survey Captures

We go beyond basic mapping—our surveys include:

Landform details:

Elevation points, slopes, levels and micro-terrain across your garden.
Boundaries & existing features:

Positions of fences, retaining walls, paths, outbuildings and boundaries. Plus, any surrounding buildings that may have an impact on sunlight.
Soft features:

Key vegetation like hedges and mature trees, plus drainage spots.
Accurate digital files:

Delivered in detailed 2D CAD or 3D formats, ensuring smooth hand-off for design or planning use.

Tailored to Local Landscape Conditions

We understand the nuances of each county, such as:

Oxfordshire & Bucks:

Handle sloping gardens near Oxford or hedged plots around Aylesbury with spot-level accuracy.
Berkshire & Northants:

Focus on gently rolling terrain or formal layouts—our survey highlights useful transition zones.
The Cotswolds:

We pay special attention to uneven stone paths, terraces or boundary walls typical of period properties, ensuring these are captured precisely.

By recording the unique characteristics of your garden, we provide precise, reliable information that helps your designers and contractors work with confidence—saving you time, money, and unnecessary guesswork.
