Garden Transformations
Expert Garden Transformations & Design Across Dorset
Bamboo Landscapes designs and builds gardens for homeowners across Dorset, Poole and Bournemouth. We are a family-run company based in Poole, and every project we take on – from a focused garden design brief through to a full outdoor transformation – is managed entirely by our own team from the first conversation to the day we hand the finished garden back to you.
Garden design in Dorset covers a huge range of aspirations and budgets. Some clients come to us with a clear vision. Others know only that the existing garden is not working and want someone to help them work out why. Either way, we start in the same place: a proper site visit, an honest conversation, and a design process that produces something genuinely suited to how you live.
From concept to completion, Bamboo handles it all.
Consultation
We visit your garden, listen to how you want to use it, and build a clear picture of your style, priorities and budget. This applies whether you are looking for garden design in Poole, a full transformation in Bournemouth, or a project anywhere across Dorset. No obligation, no pressure - just an honest discussion about what is possible for your space.
Design
We produce a detailed garden design for your approval before any work is agreed. This covers layout, levels, materials, planting, structures and lighting. You will know exactly what your garden will look like before we break ground, and nothing moves forward until you are satisfied with the design.
Build
Once the design is signed off, our team carries out all groundworks, construction, planting and finishing. We keep you updated throughout and maintain the site as tidily as possible at every stage. The focus throughout the build is on delivering the finished garden exactly as it was designed, without cutting corners on materials or workmanship.
Aftercare
When the build is complete, we walk you through care instructions, seasonal considerations and what to expect as the planting establishes. We do not disappear after the final payment.

GARDEN TRANSFORMATION FAQ’S
Most projects run between two and ten weeks depending on scope, materials and the time of year. A focused transformation covering paving, planting and lighting will typically be quicker than a project involving significant groundworks, structures or a pool. We provide a full programme at the design stage so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.
A full garden transformation means we manage the entire project as a single coordinated programme. The design, sequencing and build are all handled by the same team, which removes the gaps and miscommunication that can occur when multiple contractors work independently. The finished result is also more cohesive because everything is designed together from the outset.
Not at all. Most clients come to us with a general sense of what they want rather than a finished brief – that is exactly what the consultation is for. We ask the right questions, show you examples of previous work across Dorset, Poole and Bournemouth, and help you establish what the space needs before any design is produced.
Yes. Many of our garden transformation projects involve an existing garden that has been outgrown or needs updating rather than a blank site. We assess what is worth keeping, what needs to go, and design around the features that are already working.
Yes. We carry out garden design and full transformation projects across Poole, Bournemouth and the wider Dorset area. Being based in Poole means we work extensively throughout both towns and know the area well.
Garden design and transformation costs depend on the scope of the project, the services involved and the materials chosen. Every project begins with a free site visit so the quote you receive reflects the actual work required rather than a generic figure.
We start with a free consultation and site visit, followed by a detailed design covering layout, materials, planting and features. Once the design is approved, we manage the full build ourselves including groundworks, construction and planting. Aftercare guidance is provided on completion.
Yes. We work with homeowners across Dorset on projects of varying scale, from focused single-area redesigns through to full garden transformations covering multiple zones, structures, water features and lighting schemes.
