Garden designs on drawing board

Welcome

Nestled in the rolling hills of the Pennines, I specialise in designing beautiful, low-maintenance gardens that celebrate the unique beauty and complexity of multi-level, sloped sites.

I work with clients who are committed to sustainability, embracing material re-use, gentle hardscaping techniques, and wildlife-friendly planting choices. By thoughtfully selecting the right plants for each space and integrating sustainable practices, I create gardens that flourish with minimal effort and nurture local biodiversity.

I use 3D drawings and models to bring ideas to life—a tried-and-tested approach that lets you explore and visualise design possibilities from every angle. This clarity builds confidence and ensures effective communication with trusted landscaping professionals, helping to seamlessly transform the design from concept to reality.

Whether you’re starting fresh with a blank canvas in a new-build garden, adding your personal touch to a space inherited from a previous owner, seeking fresh inspiration as an experienced gardener, or a complete beginner eager to learn—everyone can cultivate a garden that brings daily joy and connection to nature.

With a blend of formal training, extensive experience bringing dream gardens to life, I’m here to support you in creating a garden that not only fulfills your vision but enriches your life sustainably.
