We create gardens to suit every taste and mood, from a vibrant sun drenched border to invigorate the spirit, through a tranquil woodland glade to soothe the soul.
We think of landscape design as an extension of your home.
All aspects of the exterior design must work together as a coherent series of garden rooms.
Site planning including design of softscaping (planting layouts and plans) and hardscaping (built structures).
Additionally we can select garden furniture, design garden structures, select sculpture, design special art features and offer interior design services for garden rooms and conservatories.

Project Brief: What was previously a family summer home was converted to a year-round residence.
A new wing was added and the resultant altered footprint of the house called for a different approach to the landscaping.
The property is nestled in a forested woodland and faces onto a broad field with views to a lake.
Objective: We worked with our client to preserve the natural woodland setting, maintaining views of the lake while, at the same time, creating sophisticated transitional garden spaces immediately surrounding the house.

Project Brief: This compact suburban property had been neglected for a decade and was engulfed in overgrowth.
Ivy had swallowed up much of the house and the sidewalks, wisteria had blocked the light from the windows and grass and weeds had submerged old stepping stone paths creating dangerous conditions for the client and her visitors.
Objective: The client wanted to preserve her privacy and at the same time create spaces for outdoor entertaining as well as to display a collection of sculpture.
