It’s always a pleasure to work with returning clients. 🌿

A few years ago, Monica and I collaborated on her East Meets West back garden, which is now beautifully established, lush and wonderfully jungle-like. This time, we turned our attention to the front garden, another great collaboration.

The lawn, which never really thrived, has been replaced with elegant pavers, a clipped yew hedge and generous planting. There are still a few gaps, but by the end of the summer they’ll be filling out beautifully.

I love working this way. The best gardens are always a collaboration—bringing together a client’s ideas and aspirations with my design experience to create a garden that’s personal, practical and full of character. Teamwork really does create the best spaces. 🌿

Thanks to for his skilled teams landscaping, this garden was built during the wettest few months early this year, they battled though mud & rain to deliver this sleek landscaping.

✨ I’m so thrilled that my ‘Rusty Steel’ design for a Thames riverside garden has been shortlisted for a Pro Landscaper Project Award! 🏆🌿

This was such a fun project to work on, transforming an underused area of a half-acre Thames riverside garden into a contemporary outdoor space centred around a shipping container office and guest suite. The design features corten steel elements, structural planting, restored water features and a carefully considered garden lighting scheme.

Projects like this are only possible with a fantastic team. Huge thanks to Bes Landscapes Ltd, Duma Construction, , How Green Nursery LTD and of course , as well as my wonderful clients for trusting me with their garden.

A very special current project — reimagining a 3-acre Oxfordshire garden design within mature woodland 🌳✨

The house refurbishment is almost complete, and over the coming months the garden will begin to take shape — always the most rewarding part of the process.

With sandy, acidic soil and a beautiful woodland setting, the design leans into naturalistic planting — ferns, heathers and soft layers that feel completely at home here. The new glass extension and terrace open the house out into the landscape, creating a gentle connection between inside and out.

We’re introducing a wheelchair-accessible walled garden, terraced spaces to sit within the views, restoring meadow areas for pollinators, and creating a wildlife pond to bring even more life into the garden.

A residential garden design rooted in its setting — balancing accessibility, biodiversity and modern living in a calm, timeless landscape. 🌿💧

A garden transformed into three beautiful, usable spaces 🌿✨

This Blackheath garden in South East London came with a significant level change — and a new extension that needed to connect seamlessly to the outdoors 🏡

By carefully digging out and lowering the terrace, a generous outdoor dining space directly linked to the house, with steps leading up to the main garden beyond.

The design now unfolds across three distinct areas:
– a sunken dining terrace 🍽️
– a relaxed seating space 🪑
– and a soft, layered planting scheme around the lawn 🌸

The result is a garden that feels calm, connected, and easy to live in year-round.

If you’re unsure where to start with your own garden design project, I’d love to help.
