Garden Design
Our garden design service creates bespoke outdoor spaces combining aesthetic appeal with functional layouts. Specialising in both contemporary and traditional styles, we produce detailed 2D and 3D visualisations to help clients envision their transformed spaces. The process includes site surveys, material selection, and budget planning to ensure practical, sustainable solutions tailored to individual lifestyles and property characteristics.
Landscape Construction
We transform garden designs into reality through expert hard landscaping techniques. Services include walling, paving, decking, and structural installations using premium materials. Our skilled team ensures precise execution of retaining walls, patios, and pathways while maintaining the integrity of surrounding environments during construction of both residential and commercial projects.
Planting Schemes
Our planting schemes enhance garden aesthetics while considering maintenance requirements and environmental conditions. We select appropriate plant species for visual impact across seasons, including irrigation system installation where needed. The service covers complete garden clearance, soil preparation, and implementation of tailored planting plans to create vibrant, sustainable outdoor spaces.
Garden Maintenance
We offer customised maintenance packages to preserve garden beauty throughout the year. Services range from seasonal pruning and lawn care to complete garden rejuvenation. Our team provides both regular upkeep and one-off clearance projects, ensuring landscapes remain healthy and visually appealing while adapting to changing environmental conditions.
Water Features
Our water feature installations create striking focal points in garden designs. We specialise in natural swimming pools, fish ponds, and decorative water gardens using sustainable construction methods. Each project incorporates appropriate filtration systems and integrates with surrounding landscaping to achieve both aesthetic appeal and ecological balance within the outdoor space.

We had a fairly straight forward project where the landscaping had been designed by a garden architect.
Sam's team of AJ and Tom followed the script to the letter.I was surprised but pleased with their thoroughness.They obviously took a great deal of interest in their work and would discuss with us any problems that arose. Apart from the high quality of their work they were also a pleasure to have around.Sam obviously chooses his staff well. I would certainly recommend Sam Selby
