Our work

Recent jobs, garden by garden.

Every photo on this page is one of ours, taken on the job.

Rather than one best angle of each, we’ve kept the photos from each garden together, so you can see how the parts of a job fit: the patio, the path that leads off it, the lawn and beds around them. Several were taken as a job was finishing, before the planting had grown in.

A walled garden, start to finish.

Rubble and long grass inside flint-and-brick walls, finished with new turf, herringbone brick paths, a natural stone patio and a timber pergola.
