Garden designs on drawing board

Welcome

Based in the heart of the Pennines, I specialise in transforming challenging sloped landscapes into elegant, low-maintenance retreats that honour the natural character of the terrain.

Great gardens shouldn't cost the earth. I work with nature, not against it—prioritising reclaimed materials, gentle construction, and planting schemes that invite wildlife back home. The result? A flourishing, low-maintenance sanctuary that feels like it has always belonged there. With a blend of horticultural expertise and a passion for sustainable living, I’ll help you cultivate a garden that brings you joy every single day.

Visualising a multi-level or sloped site can be daunting, which is why I specialise in 3D visualisation. You’ll be able to explore every terrace and viewpoint before construction begins, ensuring the final result is exactly what you envisioned. This is key to making sure your landscaping team understands every nuance of the design.

Ready to take the next step? Book a free 45-minute video call so we can chat about your garden. It’s a great way to see if my expertise and your project goals are a good fit for a successful partnership.
