Garden design and build in Orpington.
A garden design and build studio, creating bespoke gardens across Orpington 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 Orpington 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 Orpington.
Orpington sits on the greener, more open edge of the borough, where BR5 and BR6 gardens tend to be larger and the soil lightens towards the Kentish greensand. The plots around Chelsfield, Farnborough and Green Street Green often come with mature boundaries and room to be ambitious: a proper lawn, a considered terrace, and deep borders that can carry a long season.
We design across the full range here, from crisp, structured formal gardens to relaxed, naturalistic planting that settles a house into its setting. The lighter, faster-draining ground is forgiving, and lets us plant generously with grasses, salvias and the drought-tolerant palette that has come to define much of our work.
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 Orpington do you cover?
We cover Orpington across BR5 and BR6, including Chelsfield, Farnborough, Green Street Green, Crofton and Petts Wood, and the villages towards the Kent edge.
Do you design for the larger gardens around Orpington?
Often. Plots here tend to be more generous, with space for a proper lawn, a considered terrace and deep, season-long borders. The lighter, free-draining soil lets us plant ambitiously.
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 exactly as it was intended. Explore garden maintenance →
