Company Profile

Often work involves the renovation of older style gardens to accommodate extensions to the home or the creation of gardens on cleared sites to complement new constructions often involving conceptual development with architects to achieve a combined end result.

Coastal and country properties provide a regular source of projects for the firm and offer scope for more extensive, economical and maintenance saving gardens. Overall, these gardens aim to be structural in their layout and form where plant groupings are often massed for a flowing, unified appearance with enough contrast for visual interest.
