Our approach
Long, narrow London gardens want structure: a terrace at the right level, screens that hide the neighbours without shading the beds, a route to the back that makes you want to walk it.
We do the groundwork, drainage, hard landscaping, timber and lighting ourselves, and bring in a planting designer we've worked with for years when the scheme calls for it.
Most recent: screening a long, narrow garden, for a client in Dulwich.
