Garden design and landscaping, Stow-on-the-Wold
Gardens that look as if they've always been there.
We design and build gardens for old houses in the north Cotswolds: local stone, honest planting, and walls laid the way they were two hundred years ago.
Six of us: two designers, a planting lead and a crew who can lay a dry-stone wall that'll still be standing when your grandchildren sell the house.
- 140+ gardens since 2009
- 11 miles of dry-stone wall rebuilt
- DSWA certified wallers

What clients write back.
4.9 from 96 reviews on Google and Houzz
“They kept the old pear tree and built the whole terrace around it. Three summers on, it's my favourite place in the world.”
“The wall they rebuilt along the lane is better than the original. Neighbours stop to look at it.”
“I rang on a Saturday evening, the assistant booked a visit for Tuesday, and Ellie turned up with sketches of ideas already.”
“Planting that looks good in February, not just June. That's what we asked for and exactly what we got.”
Within an hour of the yard.
We're based on the Fosse Way just outside Stow, and work across the north Cotswolds, from Broadway and Chipping Campden down to Burford and Cirencester.
