Bespoke Garden Design, professional landscaping construction & fabulous planting for private clients and commercial contracts. Having trained over twenty five years ago I have worked with many professionals in landscaping and construction. Calling on teams that have skills and expertise in brickwork, paving, woodwork, driveways, water features, pools, turfing, fencing etc ensures that the right te

am complete the project. It is important that hard landscaping is completed with the soft landscaping in mind too, we need to be able to plant where we planned to! I work with a small hand picked group of guys who are hard working, professional, experienced, trustworthy and most of all, tidy! Take a look at the gallery to see just some of their work. As part of the project I will make regular visits to site and will liaise with you, the client, at all times. This gives you peace of mind, so you can relax and look forward to enjoying your completed garden. Then the fun begins.. Having discussed with you the look you want to achieve, your budget and the site topography I will source and supply plants for your garden. These will be planted as part of the project, or if you prefer, I can place them and you plant yourself. Having the right plant in the right place gets you a glorious garden, saves you money and time and gives me great job satisfaction!

July was a month for visiting gardens.

Gardens of all sizes and styles, from The Newt, to local open gardens, to Melbourne Hall for the Garden Museum Lit Fest to terraced gardens where we watched leaf cutter bees at work, to a seaside garden with majestic sculpture - Barbara Hepworth garden.

Thanks to Lichfield Garden Centre for the trip to The Newt, Somerset. To Holbrook Garden Club for visits to a delightful garden 40years in the making in Breaston, to umpteen keen gardeners who were happy to open their gardens in Belper and rural Gloucestershire, to Barbara Hepworth herself who bequeathed her home and garden to a trust so that we can continue to visit.
I also give thanks on a daily basis for my own garden. This summer has given me beautiful mornings to potter, peruse and plan.

Back in September last year, I designed a garden for long time clients Liz & Mike, it was inspired by the gardens at Sizergh Castle.

My first garden for them was inspired by Alnwick Castle gardens - nothing mundane for these two!

This week, I visited Sizergh Castle gardens in Kendal. A little belatedly as the garden I designed was constructed earlier this year, but hey…

It was a glorious day to enjoy the various spaces around the castle. Interesting vegetable plots with beautifully made plant supports, the orchard with the bees (in Warre hives, note) the precise topiary and the stone and gravel basin with its rills and streams.

I sent Liz a photo from there, saying I’d finally made it. She sent me one of her own Sizergh inspired part of the garden, it’s coming along nicely. Obviously not mature yet, but looking good.
We couldn’t get electricity for a pump for streams so we used a cut piece of stone, it has a bowl carved into it which fills with water.

Here are some photos from the construction (I think we did better steps!) and of the garden this morning.

Freshly back from a few days getting some Vitamin Sea (there’s not much sea in either Staffordshire or Derbyshire), home to a few photo updates of the project in Fowey, Cornwall.

Great to see progress and exciting to think of the planting to follow.

More vitamin Sea! 🌊 😎💙💚🪴

We have been planting the gardens at the Alms Houses in Lichfield.

Work began late autumn getting some winter colour into the beds close to the patios, now we have added almost 300 trees, shrubs and perennials.

They are looking splendid but will really come into their own during the coming season and beyond.

With a focus on year round interest, fragrance and being attractive to wildlife the gardens are a splendid addition to the ground.

Thank you to the lady in number 10, she kept us topped up with tea ☕️

A soggy Monday return to work.
I’m back on site after a break from landscaping. It’s muddy, soggy and very blowy.
Just waiting for my delivery from Fullbrook Nursery to arrive.
Hope the rain holds off!
