Garden Design

A beautiful garden starts with a great design. Henry works closely with every client to understand how they live, what they love, and what they want from their outdoor space — then translates that into a design that genuinely works.

We offer a full design-and-build service, so you won't need to find separate designers and builders. One team, one point of contact, from your first consultation through to the finished garden.

What's Included

  • Initial site visit & consultation
  • Bespoke design concept & plan
  • Material selection & advice
  • Full build & landscaping
  • Planting design & installation
  • Aftercare guidance

Materials We Work With

  • Natural sandstone & limestone
  • Porcelain slabs (various finishes)
  • Indian slate & granite

Lawn & Turfing

A lush, healthy lawn is the backbone of any great garden. We lay new lawns using only premium turf, properly prepared with the right ground conditions to give your grass the best possible start.

We also renovate tired, patchy, or waterlogged lawns — re-grading, aerating, scarifying and reseeding where needed. Whether new build or renovation, we'll give you a lawn you can be proud of.

Our Lawn Services

  • New turf laying (premium turf varieties)
  • Lawn renovation & repair
  • Ground preparation & levelling
  • Scarification & aeration
  • Seeding & overseeding
  • Drainage improvements

Planting & Borders

Great planting brings a garden to life. We design and install planting schemes that work with your garden's conditions — soil type, light levels, and aspect — so your plants thrive rather than just survive.

From vibrant seasonal colour to low-maintenance evergreen structure, we'll create borders and beds that look great across every season of the year.

What We Offer

  • Bespoke planting design
  • Seasonal colour schemes
  • Shrubs, perennials & trees
  • Raised beds & planters
  • Hedging & screening plants
  • Soil preparation & mulching

Fencing & Structures

From clean fence installations to bespoke garden structures, we build everything to last. Good fencing gives your garden privacy, security, and a defined boundary that frames the space beautifully.

Fencing & Structure Types

  • Lap panel & close board fencing
  • Feather edge & acoustic fencing
  • Trellis & decorative panels
  • Pergolas & arches
  • Raised beds & retaining walls
  • Steps & garden edging
