Garden Design Studio

A professionally designed garden can increase the value of your home by around 20% and transform your outdoor space however large or small into a beautiful, practical and stylish extension to your home to be enjoyed throughout the changing seasons.

We design and build outdoor spaces and gardens within inner city courtyards, suburban gardens, country cottage gardens, converted barns and country estates. We also undertake commercial landscape projects including pub gardens, care homes for the elderly and sensory gardens for schools.
