Three ways we work
Whichever the garden needs, you deal with the same accountable team throughout. Every one of them begins with a site visit.
Complete Garden Transformation
A fully managed service for clients renovating or substantially improving their garden. We take responsibility for the whole of it, from site assessment, design coordination, budget and phasing through groundworks, hard and soft landscaping, lighting, irrigation and drainage, to handover and aftercare.
One plan, one budget, one project lead. You are never passed between a designer, a contractor and a gardener, because they are the same team.
Garden Improvement Projects
Not every garden needs a complete redesign. Many need one thing done well: a new terrace or entertaining area, tired borders reworked, mature screening for privacy, a renovated lawn, better drainage, lighting, or an entrance that suits the house.
We scope each project against the whole garden, so every improvement moves it in one coherent direction rather than adding another unrelated feature.
Garden Stewardship
Ongoing care for substantial gardens, run to a planned annual programme rather than a list of jobs. Skilled maintenance, seasonal pruning, lawn and border care, hedge and topiary management, plant health monitoring, irrigation checks and replacement planting. You get clear recommendations for what the garden will need next season, and what should be budgeted for next year.
For second homes and absent owners, stewardship includes scheduled inspections, storm checks and pre-arrival preparation, so you arrive to a garden ready to enjoy rather than a list of problems.
From design to aftercare
Residential Garden Design
A coherent plan for the whole garden — appearance, construction, planting, budget and future maintenance, drawn from the property and how you live in it.
Soft Landscaping
Borders, hedging, lawns, meadow areas and specimen planting, chosen for the soil, for all twelve months, and for how the planting will mature.
Landscape Construction
Groundworks, drainage, terraces, paths, walls, steps and driveways. The unphotographed work everything else depends on, built to last decades.
Built Garden Structures
Pergolas, screens, gates, raised beds and garden buildings in timber and steel, jointed and fixed so they can be repaired rather than replaced.
Venues & Estates
Grounds for boutique hotels, wedding venues, holiday properties and small estates: grounds that make the right first impression, planned around their upkeep from day one.
Aftercare & Establishment
Establishment care for newly built gardens: formative pruning, irrigation adjustment, feeding and replacement, so the design matures as intended.
Not sure which of these you need?
That's what the site visit is for. We'll walk the ground with you and tell you plainly what's worth doing.
