Garden design and build in Southwark.
A garden design and build studio, creating bespoke gardens across Southwark 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 Southwark 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 Southwark.
Southwark's gardens are city gardens in the truest sense, courtyards, terraces and roof spaces among the Victorian terraces and new developments from Bermondsey to Borough. Space is tight and often overlooked, so the design has to work hard to create privacy, greenery and a sense of calm.
We plan these as considered outdoor rooms, using screening, built-in planting and level changes to carve out privacy and depth. Whether the site is a paved courtyard, a terrace or a roof garden, we build in structure and choose resilient, city-tolerant planting that keeps the space green and inviting through the year.
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.

Tell us about your garden. We’ll arrange to walk it with you and let you know whether it’s a commission we can take on.
Start your project →Garden design in Southwark.
Which parts of Southwark do you cover?
We design and build across Southwark and SE1, SE16, including Bermondsey, Borough, Rotherhithe, Elephant and Castle and the streets around them.
Do you design roof terraces and courtyard gardens in Southwark?
Yes, they are much of our work here. We design roof gardens, terraces and courtyards with built-in planting, screening and resilient species that keep an overlooked city space green and private.
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 →
