A GARDEN DESIGNED AROUND THE WAY YOU WANT TO LIVE
Transform your outdoor space into somewhere to entertain, unwind and spend more time together, with a garden designed around your home and the way you live.
WHAT IF YOUR GARDEN COULD GIVE YOU MORE?
Your garden is part of your home. But it doesn't always work as hard as the space inside it.
Perhaps you have plenty of room, but no real reason to spend time there. Maybe you're overlooked, the children have taken over, or the garden simply no longer works for the way you live.
Good design changes that.
It creates space to entertain, unwind, work, play and enjoy being outside.
Not simply a better-looking garden. A garden that gives you more.
MORE LIVING SPACE. JUST OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR.
Entertain
Create a natural place to gather, from relaxed seating and outdoor dining to cooking and entertaining.
Unwind
Create somewhere to slow down, switch off and enjoy being outside.
Work
Integrate a garden office or studio so it feels part of the garden, not simply placed within it.
Make room for family
Give everyone space, with different areas for playing, relaxing and spending time together.
Easier to use
Thoughtful routes, levels and accessibility make the whole garden work better for the people using it.
Create privacy
Reduce overlooking and screen unwanted views through intelligent design, structures and planting.
Thoughtful lighting, shelter and planting can help your garden work harder for longer, well beyond the summer months.
DESIGNED AROUND YOU
I don't start with a style. I start with you.
How do you want to use your garden? What would make you spend more time outside?
Those conversations shape the design. The result is a garden that feels right for your home, your lifestyle and the people who use it.
SEE WHAT'S POSSIBLE
Every garden starts with a different challenge.
Space. Privacy. Awkward levels. How to bring different parts of family life together.
Explore some of the gardens I've designed and see what those spaces became.
EXPERIENCE THAT SHAPES EVERY GARDEN
I listen first
Your garden should reflect you, not a signature style imposed upon it. I take time to understand what you want before I begin designing.
Design. Planting. Horticulture.
I trained at KLC School of Design and grew up around my family's wholesale nursery in South Africa. Design and horticulture have always gone hand in hand for me.
Practical experience
Having previously run the landscaping side of my business, I understand how a design moves from the drawing board into a real garden.
Trusted relationships
I work with landscapers I know and trust, or can provide detailed plans for your chosen landscaper to build from.
FROM IDEA TO FINISHED GARDEN
Everything starts with a considered design, shaped around your home, your garden and how you want to use it.
