Transforming Outdoor Spaces into Stunning Oases
At Chris Deakin Garden Design, our philosophy is simple: we believe that a garden should be an extension of one's home, reflecting the taste, style, and personality of its occupants. With over 25 years of experience in the garden design industry, I, Chris Deakin, have honed my skills to create bespoke garden designs that are as unique as the individuals who own them.
Our Approach
As a garden designer, I take a holistic approach to my work, combining technical expertise with a passion for plants and a deep understanding of the emotion and personality that a garden should evoke. I believe that a garden should be a reflection of its occupants, and that every garden is unique, just like the people who live in them.
Services
As a seasoned garden designer, I offer a range of services designed to bring your garden to life. These include:
- Award-Winning Garden Design: I take pride in my award-winning garden design skills, using my expertise to create spaces that are as beautiful as they are functional.
- Garden Building: Once your design is complete, I work with a select team of local craftsmen, highly skilled landscapers, and artisans to bring your garden to life.
- Specialist Planting: Every garden is different, and every garden requires a unique approach to planting. I take the time to understand your garden's specific needs and create a planting plan that maximizes the potential of your plants.
- Garden Maintenance: As a garden designer, I understand that a garden is not just a beautiful space, but also a living ecosystem that requires care and attention. I offer garden maintenance services to ensure your garden remains healthy and thriving.
Projects
Over the years, I have had the privilege of working on a wide range of projects, from small urban courtyards to grand country estates. Some of my favourite projects include:
- Suffolk Cottage Garden: This charming garden, located in Suffolk, is a beautiful example of how a small plot of land can be transformed into a stunning outdoor space.
- Suffolk Victorian Hall: This magnificent house, formerly a country club, was in need of a complete restoration. I designed and oversaw the recreation of the gardens and parkland to create the perfect setting for this lovely home.
- Suffolk Glasshouse: This soft, natural garden was designed to contrast with the strong, linear form of the contemporary house.
