The Studio

One studio, from first sketch to final planting.


We are a garden design and build studio working across Battersea and the South East. Every commission is drawn, built and planted by our own team: survey and concept, hard landscaping, planting, and the care that follows.

One point of contact, nothing subcontracted, from the first site visit onwards.

Where we work

Designing in Battersea.


Battersea runs from the river and the park to the Victorian terraces around Northcote Road, and its gardens range from tight town plots to the larger spaces near the green. Whatever the size, the brief is usually the same: to make a London garden feel considered, private and generous.

We design these as outdoor rooms, using a well-built terrace, screening and level changes to add depth, and planting that softens the boundaries. The clay here holds moisture, so we build in structure and choose species that thrive in it, giving a garden that reads well in its first summer and matures beautifully.

How we work

From first conversation to a garden kept.

01

The Enquiry

An unhurried visit to walk the plot together, and an honest conversation about whether we are the right studio for your garden.

02

The Design

Concept directions, then a full scheme: layout, materials, levels, lighting and a planting plan drawn species by species. You sign off every detail.

03

The Build

Led by our own foreman and trades we've worked with for a decade. Weekly progress reports, one point of contact, nothing subcontracted out.

04

The Care

A garden reaches its best years after planting. Our own gardeners maintain many of our designs, pruning to intent and editing borders as they mature.

Common questions

Garden design in Battersea.

Which parts of Battersea do you cover?

We design and build across Battersea and SW11, SW8, including Battersea Park, Northcote Road, Clapham Junction, Shaftesbury Estate and the streets around them.

Do you design smaller town gardens as well as larger ones?

Yes, both. From tight terrace plots to the larger gardens near the park, we plan each as a considered outdoor room, using structure, screening and planting to make it feel private and generous.

Do you both design and build the garden?

Yes. Every commission is designed, built and planted by our own employed team, with one point of contact from the first visit onwards. Nothing is subcontracted out.

Do you look after the garden once it is built?

Yes. Our own gardeners maintain many of the gardens we design, frequently the same team who were on site during the build, so the planting is cared for as it was intended. Explore garden maintenance
