gardens rarely start from scratch. what looks like waste - old stone, buried boulders, weathered timber - can become the details that give your garden instant character, depth, and story.

the gap between design and delivery is where many gardens lose their magic. in this honest reflection from site, our construction guardian Ryan shares why design guardianship matters — and how the quiet, often unseen decisions during a build can make or break the end result.

not all garden quotes are created equal. from hidden omissions to inflated prices, here’s why costs can vary so wildly — and how to tell what you’re really paying for.

giving feedback doesn’t have to be awkward. at wilden, we believe great gardens come from great collaboration — and that starts with clear, helpful communication. this guide will show our clients how to share feedback that keeps the process smooth and the end result perfect.
