The Great British Gardener
Expert Garden Design in South East London and Beyond
A Garden Designed Around How You Want to Live
Great garden design starts with you. I offer professional garden design, creating outdoor spaces that are practical, beautiful, and built to suit how you actually use your garden.
Whether you want a calm retreat, space to entertain, or a productive garden that grows food – good design turns ideas into a garden that works.
From Concept to Reality
With a diploma in garden design from KLC School of Design, I offer a complete design and build service, guiding you from first ideas through to a finished garden that removes guesswork and costly mistakes.
Garden design services can include:
Site Survey
Every project starts with understanding your space. I assess layout, levels, soil, light, access, and how you use the garden, so the design is practical and tailored to real conditions.
Concept Design
This is where ideas take shape. I create a clear garden layout that improves flow, defines zones, and makes the best use of space, so you can clearly see how your garden will work.
Planting Plans
Plants are chosen to suit your garden, not the other way around. Planting plans are based on soil type, sun levels, and maintenance preferences, ensuring plants thrive long-term.
Sustainable Materials
I advise on materials and layouts that support planting, are durable, environmentally responsible, and appropriate for your garden, helping reduce maintenance and future replacement costs.
Full Garden Build
With design and build handled together, the garden is delivered as intended. I carry out construction and planting, ensuring quality, consistency, and a smooth transition from plan to finished space.
A well-designed garden still needs the right care to thrive. I offer garden maintenance services to support the long-term health of your garden. Weekly, monthly or quarterly garden visits at £120 for 3.5 hours.
Having one point of contact from design through to build means fewer compromises, clearer communication, and a garden that matches the original vision — not just ideas on paper.
