BEFORE...

Early transformation
Early transformation

what we did...

  • Designed a gently flowing layout with multiple winding paths to lead through the space

  • Removed all lawn and introduced rich planting with seasonal texture and height

  • Used a wide range of reclaimed materials to add warmth and a sense of story

  • Created a large, wildlife-friendly pond with a central cascade and shallow stream

  • Introduced full-sun and shaded areas for morning coffee through to evening hosting

  • Built in a greenhouse, fruit and veg beds, and composting space for practical use

  • Designed the layout around multiple seating zones, each with its own view and feel

This is a space that gives back. Designed for living, not just looking, it combines beauty with biodiversity, ease with richness, and structure with soul. A place to sit, to grow, to think, and to slow down.

If you’re planning a new project, or trying to fix what didn’t quite land the first time, I’d be happy to talk it through.

wondering how it all works?

If this sounds like the kind of process you’re looking for, steady, thoughtful, and rooted in how you want to live, you might want to know how it all works.

If you’re not quite ready to reach out, but want to stay in the loop, I send occasional insights, insights from the design process, and a look at what’s growing in gardens and on the drawing board, that might just help you move forward.

client experience

“The garden has been completely transformed and is now an oasis, not just for wildlife, but for me too. I’ve had so many visitors comment on how instantly calm they feel here. Each part of the garden has its own atmosphere, and it somehow feels bigger than it is. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ian, he’s a true artist, and the whole process has been a joy.”

A lawnless garden layered with texture, flow, and

year-round interest

This garden started as a blank space, a sloping patch of grass with a single concrete path running through it and a mature oak tree at the far end. With no structure, features, or sense of movement, the garden felt disconnected and underwhelming.

The brief was ambitious but clear: remove the lawn, invite wildlife in, and design a garden that felt like a peaceful escape. The client wanted to be able to entertain, grow food, and enjoy different areas throughout the day, without losing the soft, informal feeling of nature-led design.
