Why the photos are late
Most gardens are photographed on handover day, all bare soil and small plants. We go back once they have grown in, because planting is judged in year three.
Two services
Starts with a free hour on siteFor gardens that need rethinking. Drawn by our designer, built by our own team, and planted for how it will look three summers from now.
Same gardener every visitFor gardens that just need keeping. A regular round, a written list of what each visit covers, and prices on this page.

Each garden carries two dates: the month we finished building it, and the month it was photographed. The gap is the point.
How we design
An hour in your garden, free, before anything is drawn or quoted.
We plant for what it becomes, not what it looks like on handover day.
No subcontracting. The designer is on site during the build.
Maintenance
Indicative prices for an average Bath garden. We confirm yours after one visit, and you can stop any time.
From £45/visit
Mowing, edging, beds, general tidy. Mar–Oct.
From £60/visit
Same, at a lower frequency. Year round.
From £220
Twice a year - spring and autumn.
Quoted
Priced per hedge after a look.
Design and build projects are quoted after a site visit. The visit is free.
Example review
“They told us the borders would look thin the first summer and brilliant by the third. They were right on both counts, and they came back to photograph it.”
A tight round on purpose: about twelve miles of Bath. Bath, Bradford-on-Avon, Corsham and the surrounding villages.

An hour in your garden with the person who will design it. No drawing, no quote and no charge until you have decided you want one.
