A dark north-facing patio rebuilt around one fountain, four cypress and enough shade to sit out in August.

Gardens that get better the longer you leave them alone.
Eleven years, ninety-four gardens.
Six of them here. Two climates, one method: survey honestly, draw it, plant it, and come back for two years.
A neglected garden square given a wet garden down its spine, so the rain that used to flood the path now feeds it.
Fielden Square
London · 2023
Two hundred metres of walled kitchen garden put back to work: fruit on the warm wall, cut flowers on the cold one.
The Long Walk
London · 2022
A small courtyard of self-binding gravel, one reclaimed stone trough and planting chosen to be dry by design.
Trough Court
London · 2024

From the studio's written brief, invented for this demo
A short list, used everywhere.
A narrow palette is cheaper to maintain, easier to replace, and it is why a garden of ours still reads as one place after ten years.
Every commission starts on paper.
Where the shade falls, where the water goes, and how far it is from the door to the shade.
Levels, drainage, and every tree worth keeping, drawn before a single plant is specified.
The whole site in one sheet. Clients get this framed at handover, whether they want it or not.
Drag from the plan to the planting.
Two unrelated openly licensed pictures, shown side by side to demonstrate the control.
Three ways to commission us.
Fees are fixed at the end of the survey, not estimated at the start. Every figure here is invented for this demo.
Survey, concept, planting plan, lighting, materials and tender drawings. We appoint and manage the contractor.
From £14,000 · 4 to 6 months
They planted for the garden we would have in twelve years, not the photograph we wanted in twelve weeks.
