The Acanthus was one of the first plants to be stylised and used for decorative purposes in architecture, believed to be the design inspiration for the Corinthian column capitals of Greco-Roman architecture. The foliage of Acanthus has been used continually throughout the years since, in architecture and in the decoration of homes making it a timeless design symbol. We use this symbol to represent
our passion to create simple, elegant gardens that will last. Emphasis is placed on creating harmony between house and garden, drawing inspiration from the existing architecture and elements of your lifestyle. Hard-scaping techniques will give structure and definition to the garden while to soften and create balance, a simple yet sophisticated planting scheme encompasses these elements to create an elegant and inviting garden to enjoy and live in. Emphasis is put on an edible garden incorporating fruit trees, herbs and vegetables. Utilising solar passive design principals we encourage the use deciduous and non deciduous Trees and climbers to create shade and canopies instead hard roofed structures. These elements, along with smart water wise watering systems help create a Green Garden. AG is a one-point reference service ensuring the highest level of workmanship and attention to detail. As the principal designer and project manager Craige Matthews will work with you from the early design stages through to construction. AG’s team of professionals provide a fully integrated service executing the design as planned.
