Garden design and build in Kensington.
A garden design and build studio, creating bespoke gardens across Kensington and the South East, from first sketch to final planting.
One studio, from first sketch to final planting.
We are a garden design and build studio working across Kensington 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.
Designing in Kensington.
Kensington's gardens are private town gardens of real quality, the walled plots and communal squares behind its stucco terraces and mansion blocks. They are often compact and always seen closely, so the emphasis falls on materials, structure and planting that holds its own the year round.
We design sympathetically to the conservation setting, with considered hard landscaping and evergreen structure that gives winter presence, layered with seasonal planting. Whether the brief is a walled garden, a courtyard or a roof terrace, the aim is a refined, private space built and planted to the standard the address expects.
A recent commission
From first conversation to a garden kept.
The Enquiry
An unhurried visit to walk the plot together, and an honest conversation about whether we are the right studio for your garden.
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.
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.
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.

Which parts of Kensington do you cover?
We design and build across Kensington and W8, SW7, including Kensington Gardens, Holland Park, South Kensington, Notting Hill and the streets around them.
Do you work within Kensington's conservation areas?
Yes. We are used to designing sympathetically to the conservation setting, choosing quality materials and structure that suit a period house or stucco terrace while handling local considerations.
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 →
