We are an award-winning contemporary landscape and garden design studio.
Since 2018 Duncan and Tom have been creating outstanding gardens and planting designs for private and public clients. Our role is to provide the creative energy, imagination and horticultural know-how to transform outdoor spaces.
We design. We scope. We project manage.
We listen and work hard to interpret and set a clear brief from our clients, developing our plans and proposals in steps, making revisions based on client feedback.
Once we have agreed a design we produce a highly detailed scope of works for landscape contractors to cost and work to.
With a specialist contractor appointed we will oversee hard and soft landscaping as well as sourcing plants from nurseries and growers we know and trust.
