Willow Alexander Gardens: London’s Leading Sustainable Garden Design Studio

At Willow Alexander Gardens, we believe a garden is more than an outdoor space — it is an extension of your home, a reflection of your lifestyle, and a sanctuary for the future. As part of the House of Willow Alexander family of brands, our studio has become recognised as one of London’s most premium garden design and build studios, delivering projects that combine timeless craftsmanship with forward-thinking sustainability.
From Chelsea townhouses to Dulwich retreats, Balham courtyards to Sevenoaks estates, we specialise in creating gardens that inspire, endure, and enrich the lives of those who live in them.

Recognised for Design Excellence

Our work has been celebrated nationally and internationally. We are proud to have been listed on House & Garden Magazine’s “The List”, the definitive register of the UK’s most talented design professionals.

As part of the House of Willow Alexander, we also share in the group’s awards and recognitions:

These accolades underscore our position as not only a creative leader in design but also a trusted institution in sustainable living.

Premium Craftsmanship Meets Sustainability

At Willow Alexander Gardens, design and craftsmanship go hand in hand. Every project is carefully conceived, blending luxury design with environmental responsibility. From hand-selected materials to bespoke planting schemes, our gardens are created to be both elegant and enduring.

What sets us apart is our carbon-neutral approach. Since 2020, our group has held One Carbon World Gold Standard Certification (Scopes 1, 2, and 3, in association with the United Nations), offsetting thousands of tonnes of CO₂ annually. Our design and build process uses a fully electric fleet, ensuring that from concept to completion, your garden is delivered with zero emissions.

Reviews & Customer Care

Our clients consistently praise us for combining creativity with professionalism. With thousands of five-star reviews across Google, Trustpilot, and Checkatrade, the House of Willow Alexander is trusted to deliver excellence every time.

We extend that same level of care to every design client:

  • Customer Guarantee — all projects are backed by our service promise.
  • Regular Updates & Communication — you’ll always know when we are on the way, and how your project is progressing.
  • Quality Assurance — every stage of the design and build process is checked and monitored through our internal tech platform.

This ensures our clients receive not only exceptional design but also peace of mind and complete transparency.

Innovation for the Future of Design

As part of the House of Willow Alexander, we are pioneering new ways to make sustainable living more accessible. The group has invested over £700,000 into technology and innovation, including the development of our diagnostics engine, The House Companion, part of the HoWA Operating System.

This platform learns the unique needs of every property, providing eco-friendly recommendations, tailored maintenance plans, and seasonal insights. For design clients, this means your garden can be supported long after completion, ensuring it matures beautifully while staying sustainable.

With our intellectual property independently valued at £5 million, our innovation proves that sustainability and design excellence are not just compatible — they are the future.

Expanding Our Reach

Based in South East London and expanding into West London, Balham, Clapham, North London, and beyond, Willow Alexander Gardens is proud to serve discerning clients across the capital and the South East. Whether you’re seeking a city courtyard retreat, a contemporary family garden, or a grand estate landscape, our design team has the vision and expertise to bring it to life.

People at the Heart of Design

Behind every project are our skilled designers, landscapers, and craftspeople. Their attention to detail, creativity, and dedication ensure that every garden we create is unique, enduring, and truly personal.

Jess

Jess, Sam and Alex were so great to work with on our design! Each giving great ideas we didn’t even think about! We had reviewed lots of images and inspiration for months and months not knowing what to do with them but Jess helped us create a design that worked for our garden incorporating almost everything on our wish list and showing us what we needed and what we didn’t! 10/10
