“Looking around, nothing in nature is uniform—that’s the backdrop we love to work with.”
“The right plant in the right place ensures your garden stands the test of time”.
“Don’t be afraid to create something from instinct, even if it’s not the done thing or in fashion.”
“I want a garden to have a soul for it to be real and for it to last.”
“No design is truly bespoke – it’s a mix of gathered ideas, reshaped and reimagined into something new.”
“Don’t be afraid of simplicity in your planting scheme; be bold and use native plants to stand the test of time”.

We love a morning at @wyevalenurseriesltd.
Wandering the rows and choosing a few trees that will grow alongside the next generation. This time we were looking for trees with real character- ones that will sit naturally within the landscape and feel as though they’ve always belonged there.
There’s something special about planting something today that will still be standing tall for years to come.

Hopefully the last of the winter frost.
It may be cold, but it does make the garden sparkle.
Lovely to see, but I think we’re all ready now for Spring to finally spring.

With the recent wet weather, walling and stonework have been our main focus.
Now the sun is finally out and the ground is starting to dry, we can begin transforming these muddy landscapes into something special.
There’s nothing better than seeing natural stone take shape and bring structure back to the land.

Another fun day tree planting for screening
It might look like the boys are just waving in the pics… but they’re actually our high-tech spacing tools
Using them to mark out distances and get the tree placement spot on.
You can’t beat a person for mobile visualisation

A perfect example of how repeat arches can intensify a view or vista.

We’re excited to start this new project that has incredible structural depth and history already woven into it. There’s so much here to work with, and we can’t wait to add the next layer of story to this beautiful coastal location in North Wales.

Lots of concepts on the go and plenty of 3D sketches in progress, one of our favourite tools for visualising how a garden will come together long before the first spade hits the ground.

We design our landscapes to sing all year round, but our 3D imagery usually reflects the summer months. However, here’s a snapshot of one of our Italian projects currently in design, looking wonderfully wintery, highlighting the strength of the garden’s structure, even under snow.

At the end of the year looking back at some of our designs which we shot this Summer.
Thoughtful design turned open fields into established gardens built to last.
Each has its own unique feel and story to tell.

We’ve been working with Farmington Masonry to bring a touch of greenery into this small, low-maintenance garden space to showcase a variety of their paving options in more of a garden setting.
A simple planting palette with a central Cotoneaster and Lavandula Grosso along the edges keeps it uncluttered and highlights the stone.

We recently visited Wyevale Nurseries to see their incredible range of homegrown UK trees, all showcasing the very best of autumn colour.
It’s always inspiring to work with such dedicated and knowledgeable suppliers who share our passion for quality, sustainability, and British-grown excellence.

Once an empty courtyard, now a gorgeous garden immersed in planting: designed for entertaining, complete with an outdoor bar, BBQ and kitchen, firepit, and a variety of seating nooks for every occasion.
What better place to enjoy a @cotswoldsdistillery wildflower gin and tonic at the end of the day?

A happy client just sent us the view from his music room.
We completed this project 5 years ago and the Autumn colours are improving with every passing year.

Autumn`s vibrant hues: A kaleidoscope of flowers, leaves, and fruit.
A timeless palette that inspires creative planting design.

Lichen in the Highlands- tiny collaborations of fungus and algae, growing at their own pace. The colours and textures feel like sketches for landscape design, shaped by time and weather rather than hand.

Cirencester stonework in progress.
It’s always in the little details- the bespoke nooks, slits, and subtle moments that emerge as the wall takes shape.
Those are the parts that quietly turn something good into something exceptional.

The end of the season is near, but the garden isn’t going quietly.
A flourish of autumn colour frames this tranquil poolside haven we recently completed - peaceful, golden, and just showing off.

This time of year brings the most incredible light, sometimes it feels almost unreal.
Revisiting a part of one of our old gardens makes it even more special.

As we come to the end of the season, it’s time to sit and reflect on these last moments in the garden.
Here are a few of our designed seating areas, each with its own unique vibe.

Rosa rugosa is a resilient, deciduous shrub recognised for its textured foliage and vibrant rosehips. Rich in vitamin C, the hips have long been valued in teas, syrups, and preserves.
Beyond their striking colour, they offer late-season food for birds and add both ecological and ornamental interest to the garden.
In this instance we have used it as an informal hedge to create a boundary between the garden and the driveway.
