Contemporary Garden Design & Build Across Gloucestershire

Phase 1: Deep Understanding (Weeks 1-2)

We study your land through seasons—using historical weather data, soil analysis, and careful observation. We map sight lines, note natural gathering spots, and understand your garden's hidden dynamics.

Phase 2: Design Development (Weeks 3-6)

Not one design, but evolving possibilities. We explore options together, each iteration getting closer to that "yes, that's it" moment. No surprises, no drama—just steady progress toward clarity.

Phase 3: Making It Real (Weeks 8-16)

The same team that designed your garden builds it. Every level checked by the person who drew it. Every plant placed by someone who understands why. Problems solved, not hidden.

Phase 4: The First Year Together

Gardens aren't finished when we leave—they're just beginning. We guide yours through its first year, ensuring everything establishes as intended.

85+ gardens completed across Gloucestershire since 2008. Projects typically range from £30,000 to £100,000+ depending on scope, varying from 6-18 months from consultation to completion.

Recent Project: Grade II Listed Manor, Tewkesbury

The property had been planned as a boutique hotel—complete with resin-bound car parking covering what should have been a garden. Removing 300 tonnes of material. Engineering curved limestone steps through complex topography whilst meeting heritage listing requirements. Creating formal parterre gardens that work with Georgian architecture whilst supporting how the family actually lives.

That project took 18 months because it needed to. Structural engineering for retaining walls. Planning approval processes. Planting windows that couldn't be rushed. The alternative would have been something finished sooner but failing within years.

We limit capacity to 20 garden transformations annually—not because project timelines don't compress without quality suffering.

Cheltenham

Primary service area. Deep knowledge of local planning requirements, conservation areas, specific growing conditions throughout GL50-GL54 postcodes.

Gloucester

Regular projects throughout the city and surrounding villages. Experience with both constrained urban gardens and rural estate properties requiring different approaches.

Cotswolds

Extensive work across the district. Understanding limestone soil conditions, exposed hilltop sites, AONB planning requirements. The specific knowledge that determines whether contemporary garden designs work within traditional contexts or fight them.

Cirencester

Multiple completed projects. Understanding planning sensitivities and architectural vernacular of this market town. Experience working with conservation officers on heritage properties.

Stroud

Valley gardens, sloping sites, drainage challenges specific to Five Valleys topography. Regular projects throughout the area.

Tewkesbury

Understanding heritage listing requirements, working with conservation officers, managing complex drainage patterns in historic properties.

Extended Coverage

Winchcombe, Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, surrounding villages. The 50-minute radius enables frequent site visits during construction and planting phases. Most projects concentrated here because geographical focus enables the daily oversight that maintains quality.
