Garden & Landscape Design
Design for private estates, hotel venues and commercial properties across Berkshire, including Newbury, Hungerford, plus the Cotswolds and nearby Wiltshire inc Swindon and Marlborough.
Great design balances beauty with practicality
Our garden design creates outdoor spaces that look great, function well and can be maintained to a consistently high standard for clients across the Cotswolds, Berkshire and Wiltshire.
Whether you’re planning a sensitive refresh, a new-build scheme or a full renovation, we design around the character of the property, how the space is used, and what will perform reliably through the seasons.
Key Benefits
Practical designs that stay maintainable
Planting schemes with year-round interest
Better layout, flow and usable space
Design choices that perform in local conditions
What we design
Design for estates and large gardens
Layouts, structure and planting that develop over time, with long-horizon planning for borders, sightlines, trees and seasonal interest.
Design for hospitality and commercial sites
Designs that enhance guest experience and public presentation: clear entrances, durable finishes, reliable planting and year-round consistency.
Planting schemes and seasonal planning
Planting built around structure and seasonal performance, not just what looks good on day one. We use succession planning so colour and interest carry through the year.
Integration with irrigation and water features
We can incorporate irrigation, water features and practical maintenance requirements into the design so the finished scheme performs in real conditions.

Frequently asked questions
- How long does a garden design take?
- Timescales depend on complexity. We’ll confirm a clear programme at consultation, including any phasing if the project is being delivered in stages.
- Can you work with existing features and mature planting?
- Each visit is tailored to seasonal needs but typically includes border weeding, deadheading, light pruning, lawn mowing, edging, path sweeping, and a visual plant health check. Detailed notes and photographs are provided after every visit.
- Do you design with maintenance in mind?
- Always. We design for long-term manageability as well as beauty, so the scheme can be maintained to a consistently high standard.
- Can you deliver the landscaping as well as the design?
- Yes. Where appropriate, we can deliver the refurbishment/landscaping and planting so the finished result matches the design intent.
- Do you incorporate irrigation or water features into designs?
- Where relevant, yes — we design with irrigation requirements, water features and practical servicing access in mind.
