Garden size varies enormously across Birmingham - the substantial plots behind Edgbaston's Victorian villas are a different design brief entirely from the narrow strips behind a Selly Oak or Sparkhill terrace, where zoning the space lengthways (dining near the house, planting and storage further back) usually beats trying to fit everything side by side.

What drives the price

Access is the main variable on terraced streets without a side gate - materials have to go through the house, adding labour time a detached Edgbaston property with wide side access wouldn't incur. Mature trees, more common in the city's older, leafier suburbs, are sometimes protected by a Tree Preservation Order, worth checking with the council before finalising a design that involves removal or heavy pruning.

Combine with an extension where possible

If a kitchen extension is also planned, designing the garden alongside it avoids redoing groundwork twice - the new patio level generally needs to match the extension's floor height regardless.
