Lifestyles have changed. People’s needs have changed with them.

They want adaptability and flexibility to cope with the diverse needs of their new lifestyles – not least within the spaces in which they live.

Gardens are now living rooms. They are used to relax, cook, eat, play, entertain and work.

There is a huge diversity of style and fashion available but the real skill is fitting the space to your taste.

I will always bring fresh eyes to your garden, and it will always be YOUR garden. I will talk to you about what you want and what you need, and how to reconcile the differences between them. We will discuss style and taste and preference, and then I will be able to design a garden to suit you. If I design a garden that wins shiny awards and gets in glossy magazines but you don’t like it, then I have failed.

My ability is to make the three-dimensional spaces within the garden the right size and shape for what they will be used for. I will make the shapes interesting, balanced and aesthetically correct, and then I can dictate the mood and feeling of the garden by creating those shapes in plants and hard landscaping.
