Planting design
Gardens are an integral part of the home and designing yours should be a highly personal and enjoyable experience. We work hard to create a garden that is unique to you and goes beyond what you may believe is possible, maximising your space and creating an enduring garden for years to come.
To achieve this we work closely with clients and architects from first concept through to completed garden, working with our network of contractors, craftspeople, horticulturalists and experts to bring these designs to life. With experience working across a broad range of spaces and briefs, from urban courtyards to large rural gardens, we understand that no two project or client is the same. With this in mind we take a highly personalised and sensitive approach to understanding your needs and wishes for the space.
We pride ourselves on providing a highly personal service and we’re always happy to talk through a potential project and answer any questions you may have.
full garden design
Whether you’re renovating your home or just looking to update your garden, we provide a highly bespoke service to design a garden that reflects you and how you want to live. We work directly with clients, often alongside architects and interior designers, to create beautiful outdoor spaces. This masterplanning process can encompass everything from garden layout and improving flow and spatial use, to enhancing privacy, planting design and lighting schemes. We work closely with trusted contractors and skilled landscapers to ensure the design is delivered seamlessly and brought beautifully to life.
targeted garden design
Whether you’re looking to create a specific feature — such as a swimming pool, terrace, garden building or front garden — or need help transforming underutilised and unloved areas, we can work with you to reimagine and maximise your outdoor space.
planting design
Sometimes our clients simply need help reinvigorating their planting — whether to better reflect their personal style or to give their garden a fresh lease of life.You may love your garden, but find it only looks its best for a few short weeks each year. With thoughtful planting design and a little dedicated TLC, it can become a space that feels vibrant and engaging throughout the seasons. Our planting design service helps you create a garden that offers year-round beauty and provides a stunning, ever-changing backdrop to your home.
