The Studio

One studio, from first sketch to final planting.


We are a garden design and build studio working across Kent 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 Kent.


We design and build gardens across west Kent, with much of our work around Sevenoaks and the surrounding villages, from Westerham and Otford to Wrotham and Borough Green. Kent gardens tend to be larger and more rural than our London commissions: sloping plots with long views over the Weald, established country gardens, and family gardens that want structure without losing their setting.

Our own teams design, build and plant every commission, so the people who draw your garden are the ones who make it. We know the local ground, the greensand and clay of the Sevenoaks ridge, the exposure of a hillside plot, and the way a Kent garden has to sit comfortably in its wider landscape, and we design for it from the first sketch.

From a courtyard to several acres, every Kent commission is founder-led, drawn and built in-house, and planted to mature gracefully over the years that follow.

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.
