Garden styles

Choose a style that suits your garden

The best garden style isn't the trendiest — it's the one that fits how you use your space, your conditions and how much time you can give it. We lean on years of experience designing and planting Surrey and London gardens.

Garden orientation

Your garden's aspect, and what it means

Which way your garden faces influences where you put your patio, what you can grow and how useable your space feels in the evening. It's often the most underrated factor in garden design — and the easiest to get right with a little planning.

Soil & compost

Feed the soil, and it feeds you

Healthy soil is the foundation of everything in your garden. Understanding your soil type — and when to reach for compost, topsoil or conditioner — makes a far bigger difference than most people expect.

Shade plants

Turn shade into an asset

Shade isn't a problem — it's an opportunity. Most failures come from choosing the wrong plant for the wrong level of light, not shade itself. Understand your shade, and you can plant richly in even the darkest corners.

Maintenance & lawn care

Keep it looking its best, year-round

A great garden is as much about ongoing care as the initial design. Regular maintenance — a healthy lawn, tidy hedges and weed-free beds — is what keeps everything looking its best month after month.

Garden law & boundaries

Know your boundaries and your rights

Boundaries, hedges, fences and planning can be a minefield. A little clarity goes a long way — especially around shared boundaries and neighbouring overhang.

Seasonal advice

Seasonal advice and blog

The garden never stops changing. Our seasonal tips walk you through the jobs that matter most each time of year, so you stay ahead of the work instead of chasing it.
