Then look no further. Here is another Northstowe garden I designed and landscaped this summer. This one is for a small but growing professional family who originate fro Southern France and Spain, They wanted a little taste of home in their garden and lots of entertaining and dining space for outdoor living. What I had […]

I’ve just completed this simple design for a garden on a sloping site. Situated on a new build estate in Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire, this presented several issues which needed to be addressed by the garden design. Firstly the pergola with the screened back is to reduce the impact of pedestrians passing along the footpath just beyond […]

I don’t only do full garden makeovers, if all you want is a new patio that has been well constructed and will last for years to come, then I am the man for that too!
