Garden Design

Creating the desired mood to suit your personality and lifestyle is the key to a successful garden. This is achieved by careful planning, attention to detail and a good working relationship with our clients.

Whether we use stone, timber, metal, glass, brick or concrete, the final solution has to reflect the style, function and budget to create a garden with a unique character. Fortunately, many homeowners recognise that their gardens are an investment where the financial returns are long term and the enjoyment of the space is instant.

Gardens should reflect our modern lifestyle by developing their social, functional and financial potential. This doesn’t mean that our gardens have to be modern in style, but they should be designed to suit the time we have available to maintain them. A well designed and tended garden promotes well-being.

Please browse through the gallery to see a variety of garden styles…..traditional, modern, city, rural and country gardens.

“The greatest compliment is when clients recommend us to friends and colleagues or even ask us back to design another garden”.

Design Classes

For many years now I have imparted my knowledge and experience in garden design to many enthusiastic garden owners. The desire to understand how design can alter the mood and feel for gardens and promote a sense of well-being, is as popular now as it was when I started teaching.

This enthusiasm gave me the encouragement to set up two classes as an introduction to garden and planting design. They are aimed at the recreational market but are equally useful for those first tentative steps into a career in garden design.

Gift vouchers are also available for the Garden and Planting Design classes.

“It’s a great advantage combining teaching with running a design company as one profession compliments the other. I feel it is important to be fully involved in garden design in order to pass on current knowledge and experience to students. Likewise, teaching allows me to constantly reinforce and question design principles and be challenged by the fresh ideas of my students”.
