“The Rolls Royce of garden design.”
“It was all very professional and anything that needed to be changed or tweaked, it was the ability to be able to do that. I found it very very professional but at the same time it was the personal sort of touch.”

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Will your garden plan suit Cambridge’s weather and soil conditions?
-
Yes. We factor in local rainfall, clay or chalky soils, and temperature swings to ensure your garden thrives with minimal intervention.
- Q: I have a newly built home - can your plans add character to a blank canvas?
-
Absolutely. Many of our Cambridge clients live in modern developments like Darwin Green or Trumpington Meadows, where the garden is often a bare space. We create plans that add structure, softness, and personality, turning new-build gardens into truly livable outdoor environments.
- Q: Can you incorporate sustainable or climate-conscious design principles?
-
Definitely. We can include drought-resistant planting, permeable surfaces, rainwater harvesting, and wildlife-friendly features. Cambridge’s eco-minded homeowners often request gardens that are both environmentally responsible and visually striking.

“It was a smooth process from start to finish.”
“As a customer you want to make sure you’ve got the best possible work done and then the best treatment, and I feel like I’ve had that both.”
“Having the garden here is everything that I would’ve wanted as a little boy myself.”
“It was all very clear that the company was brilliant and it was all done perfectly down to a T, and leaves me a very happy man. It’s turned out exactly like it, and I love it.”
“At the end of the day, we got the garden we wanted, and we’re very pleased with it. ”
“We didn’t really need to change the design very much of it at all from day one. We modified it very slightly, made the kitchen area a little bit bigger, including a barbecue. And then they started the work beginning of March, so, two months later. At the end of the day, we got the garden we wanted, and we’re very pleased with it.”
““When you see the design, that’s what you’re going to get.””
“They delivered. They solved the problem that we had. The communication from start to end has been really good. Any time there’s been a minor issue, we’ve always had a quick response, and things have been solved, so we were very pleased.”
