Our services

Every great garden starts with the right approach.

No two gardens—or clients—are the same. Some projects need a single conversation. Others benefit from a complete design journey. Larger, more complex gardens often require continued involvement through construction.

These are the four ways we typically work together.

01

CONSULTATION

Expert advice. Clear direction.

Not every project needs a full garden design.

If you're unsure where to begin, a consultation is the perfect first step. Together we'll explore your garden, challenge assumptions and establish a clear direction, giving you the confidence to move your project forward.

Whats's included:

Expert advice tailored to your garden

Creative direction

Budget guidance

Clear next steps

Confidence to move your project forward

02

WILD GARDEN WORKSHOP

The fastest way to transform your garden.

The Wild Garden Workshop is an intensive one-to-one design experience that transforms uncertainty into a clear, buildable garden concept.

Together we'll spend a day exploring ideas, testing layouts and shaping the future of your garden. Afterwards, I'll develop everything into a layout plan, simple 3D model and planting direction.

Everything you need to move forward with confidence.

What's included:

Site survey

One-to-one design day

Garden layout plan

Simple 3D model

Planting and material direction

A buildable garden concept

03

GARDEN DESIGN

Some gardens deserve a deeper exploration.

Garden Design follows the same creative process as the Wild Garden Workshop, but allows more time to explore ideas, refine every detail and develop something completely unique.

Through collaboration, visualisation and design development, we'll create a garden that's shaped around your home, your lifestyle and your ambitions.

A fully considered, buildable garden design that's entirely your own.

What's included:

Everything included within the Wild Garden Workshop

Moodboards and material palettes

Design development meetings

Multiple design iterations

Detailed 3D visualisations

Refined planting design

04

Full garden design

From concept to construction.

For larger or more technically demanding projects, I remain involved beyond the design process, producing construction drawings, collaborating with contractors and protecting the original vision throughout the build.

Every detail considered. Every decision has a purpose.

What's included:

Testimonials

The garden is fantastic! Beautiful! Amazing! A friend visited a few weeks ago that hadn't seen it before and he was blown away by it. He said it felt like being on holiday, which is how we feel about it. We're already picking things to eat from it and we're looking forward to the bounty ahead.

Steve has completely transformed our garden into something we could only have dreamed of, incorporating lots of different ideas we threw at him. We now have a truly special garden that's multifunctional, full of nature and that our 4 year old loves to explore.

Redland, Bristol

We were hooked on his creativity and eye for design. Biodiversity and ecology were really important to us, having two small children and living in a busy city, we needed a space that will grow and evolve with us and this is something that Steve is extremely passionate about.

Steve is a visionary, a dedicated professional with the ability to deliver beautiful and sustainable projects whilst never compromising on his values as a pioneering eco friendly garden designer. He champions reuse, recycling, naturalistic planting, and sustainable materials, and I am always thrilled to work along side him.

To step outside barefoot with my 1 year old daughter each morning and wave "hello" to each new flower that appears, and to watch my 6 year old's face full of excitement when he picks herbs and strawberries and offers them to friends - it's what a garden is about really isn't it?

Leoni

Clifton, Bristol

Steve took me through his design process, thinking about different spaces, materials, and plants. His design has given me so much to think about, but with a clear direction and framework. I feel that the changes we make to our garden, even if it is in stages, will ultimately give us the garden to relax, cook and entertain in.

Epsom, Surrey

Steve took our love of native hedgerows and woodland and brought it to life in our little garden. Steve's knowledge of plants, combined with a keen eye for architectural structure has given us a garden which has exceeded our wildest expectations. It is a constant delight and joy, no matter what the season.

It was really interesting to be talked through the design process and I'm so looking forward to implementing it, as it's not only achievable but also a brilliant layout and the planting is absolutely in line with our values and interests in terms of developing our green spaces.

It was brilliant to have the opportunity to talk to Steve about my plans for the garden and get his advice. I had been undecided about how to redesign the garden for years, and how to make it good whilst being on a low budget. Being able to stand in my garden and share ideas with a wild garden expert was invaluable.

The workshop with Steve gave me a clear idea of hard standing versus planting, how to work with how we currently use the garden and also how to best navigate the roots around our existing tree. I have a planting list that I can pick and choose from, as well a paving plan to take to a contractor.

Reclaimed and reused materials

Reclaimed materials bring history into a garden. Existing brick, stone, timber and concrete are often retained and reimagined, creating places that feel rooted in their surroundings rather than imposed upon them.

Reusing what's already there reduces waste, but more importantly it creates gardens with character. Spaces that feel as though they've always belonged.

Food Forests & edible gardens

Two light-colored mushrooms nestled among lush green foliage and leaves.

Edible gardens shouldn't feel like allotments. Fruit trees, shrubs, herbs and perennial crops can sit naturally alongside ornamental planting, creating landscapes that are productive, beautiful and full of life.

A food forest doesn't just grow food. It creates a deeper relationship with the garden itself.

Structured wildness

Structure creates freedom. Clear hard landscaping and defined spatial frameworks bring order to the garden, allowing planting to move, seed and evolve without feeling unmanageable. This balance is central to the studio’s urban garden design approach.

Wild enough for nature. Structured enough to belong alongside contemporary architecture.

How we work

Every project follows a clear, structured process, from the first conversation through to the finished garden. You'll always know what comes next, what decisions need to be made and where your project is heading.

Rather than overwhelming you with options, each stage builds on the last, creating a garden that's shaped around the way you live and delivered with confidence from start to finish.

01 Initial enquiry

A conversation to understand your ambitions, your garden and whether we're the right fit.

02 Discovery & workshop

An on-site workshop to explore possibilities, challenge assumptions and establish a clear direction for the project.

03 GARDEN design

Your ideas are developed into a considered garden design that captures the vision for the space.

04 Design development

The design is refined through drawings, materials and planting, ready for pricing and construction.

05 Contractor COLLABORATION

Working closely with trusted contractors throughout the build to protect the integrity of the design.

06 A living garden

A garden designed to grow better with time. One that supports wildlife, settles naturally and lets you spend less time maintaining it and more time simply enjoying it.
