Landscape Design

We are a design–led consultancy producing high quality professional specialist designs for contemporary landscapes and gardens.

Working alongside leading architects and designers the consultancy pays special attention to existing architecture, views and spaces to which the designed landscape will relate. Designs naturally all use mathematically harmonious proportions. Projects range from large country house gardens to small town gardens and roof terraces and public landscapes.

Another characteristic of the practice is the innovative planting style using drifts of grasses and late perennials in new and exciting combinations and patterns. Plants and trees become integrated as part of the structure of the design.

Ours is a creative process where both the environment and historical heritage are given a place. It must be a place for social, contemplative and recreational use.
