Garden design · Planting · Build
We design and build gardens for houses in the south west, working with the soil, the slope and the light you already have rather than against them.

Most garden design is photographed the week it is finished, which is the one moment it will never look like again. We design for what a garden becomes: the year the hornbeam closes over, the year the grasses finally read as a drift rather than as forty separate plants.
That means fewer, larger beds. It means planting at proper densities and accepting a thin first summer. And it means telling you honestly when a plant you have asked for will be miserable in your soil, rather than selling it to you and returning in three years.
Two hours on site talking about how you actually use the space, and what you have already tried that failed.
Levels, drainage and soil tested properly, then a concept plan with two or three genuine alternatives.
Construction details and a full planting plan, priced so you can build it in phases if that suits better.
Our own team on site, then two years of seasonal visits while the planting settles in.

Send a few photographs and roughly what you are hoping for. We will say honestly whether we are the right practice for it.
