Garden size varies across Cardiff - the narrow plots behind Cathays and Roath terraces are a different design brief from the larger gardens more common around Llandaff and near Roath Park, one of the city's best-known green spaces.

What drives the price

Access without a side gate adds real labour time on terraced streets. Mature trees, more common in the leafier western suburbs, are sometimes protected by a Tree Preservation Order - worth checking with Cardiff Council before any design involving removal.

Combine with an extension where relevant

Where a kitchen extension is also planned, designing the garden alongside it avoids redoing groundwork twice.
