Garden Design
Our garden design service creates bespoke outdoor spaces tailored to individual preferences and property characteristics. Led by ecologist Peter Playle, we integrate artistic vision with ecological principles to develop functional, aesthetically pleasing gardens. Clients receive hand-drawn plans, planting schemes, and expert guidance on planning applications, ensuring sustainable solutions that enhance biodiversity and meet practical needs.
Landscaping
We specialise in transforming outdoor spaces through expert landscaping, combining hard and soft elements like patios, water features, and planting schemes. Our team uses high-quality materials and innovative techniques to deliver durable, visually striking results. With over 70 years of combined experience, we ensure meticulous attention to detail, from initial groundwork to final planting, creating gardens that exceed client expectations.
Garden Rooms
Our bespoke garden rooms provide year-round outdoor living spaces, from cosy enclaves with open fireplaces to modern garden offices. Designed to complement existing landscapes, these structures feature high-quality finishes like bi-fold doors and bespoke woodwork. Each project is tailored to client needs, ensuring seamless integration with the garden while offering versatile, functional spaces for relaxation or work.
Ecological Gardens
We create wildlife-friendly gardens that support local biodiversity through native planting, wildflower meadows, and habitat features like ponds and insect hotels. Leveraging Peter Playle's conservation expertise, we design ecosystems that attract pollinators, birds, and other wildlife. These gardens balance ecological function with aesthetic appeal, offering clients a chance to contribute to environmental preservation while enjoying vibrant outdoor spaces.
Wildlife Habitats
Our wildlife habitat services focus on establishing sustainable ecosystems within gardens, including kingfisher banks, wetlands, and native woodlands. Using techniques developed through collaborations with conservation bodies, we create environments that support endangered species and enhance ecological balance. These projects combine scientific expertise with landscaping artistry to deliver functional habitats that enrich both the landscape and local biodiversity.
