Garden & Landscape Designer Bristol – Sustainable Gardens for City and Suburban Homes

We create sustainable, wildlife-friendly gardens across Bristol and its surroundings. From Victorian townhouse plots in Clifton to family gardens in the suburbs, our designs bring nature into city living while reflecting Bristol's creative, environmentally-conscious spirit.

Garden Design for Bristol Homes

Bristol's diverse neighbourhoods offer wonderful opportunities for garden design. Clifton's elegant terraces, Redland's leafy avenues, Southville's colourful community, and the suburbs' generous family plots all present different challenges and possibilities.

We design gardens that suit your property and lifestyle, whether you want a productive kitchen garden, a child-friendly space with room to play, or a low-maintenance retreat for relaxation.

Our Approach

Our design philosophy prioritises sustainability and biodiversity. We create gardens that support pollinators and wildlife, use responsibly-sourced materials, and are designed to thrive with minimal intervention.

Bristol has a strong environmental conscience, and our approach reflects that. If you care about sustainable garden design, we share your values.

A kitchen garden design brings beauty and practicality together, offering a space where fresh herbs, vegetables, and fruit flourish right outside your door.

A well-designed sustainable garden transforms an outdoor space into a thriving, eco-friendly sanctuary—whether it’s a contemporary urban retreat, a classic English garden, or a biodiverse wildlife haven.

A well-designed courtyard garden transforms even the most compact outdoor space into a stylish and tranquil retreat. Whether you have a small urban courtyard, a Victorian terrace courtyard, or a modern enclosed garden, the right courtyard garden design enhances privacy, maximizes space, and brings greenery into your home.

FAQs

  • Do you design gardens in Bath and Bristol?

    Yes, Bath and Bristol are core areas we serve from our Somerset base near Glastonbury. Bath's Georgian properties and Bristol's diverse architecture each present unique opportunities for garden design. We understand the planning considerations in conservation areas, work with Bath's distinctive limestone, and create gardens that complement these cities' architectural heritage. From compact city courtyards to larger suburban gardens, we design spaces that suit urban South West living.

  • Why work with a local Somerset garden designer?

    Somerset's geology creates dramatically different growing conditions within short distances. We know which plants will struggle in waterlogged clay on the Levels and which will thrive in thin soil over Mendip limestone. Local knowledge prevents expensive mistakes, ensures your planting scheme establishes well, and means we can recommend trusted local suppliers and contractors. From our Glastonbury base, we've built relationships with Somerset's best landscapers, nurseries, and craftspeople — connections that benefit every garden transformation we undertake.

  • How much does garden design cost in Somerset?

    Our garden consultation service starts at £400 for a half-day session with our RHS-qualified designer. Border renovation projects begin at £1,100, while full garden design packages start from £3,000. For complete design and build projects in Somerset, budgets typically start around £17,500 for smaller gardens, with larger or more complex country garden projects requiring proportionally more investment. We're always happy to discuss your budget openly and suggest approaches that deliver the best value — and projects can be phased over time to help manage costs.

  • How long does a garden project take in Somerset?

    Timescales vary depending on scope. A garden consultation can happen within a few weeks of enquiry. Design projects typically take 6-12 weeks from briefing to final plans, including 3D visualisations and detailed planting schemes. Build phases depend on scale and contractor availability — a courtyard garden might take 2-3 weeks to construct, while a larger country garden transformation could run to 8-12 weeks. We'll give you realistic timelines during the design process.

  • How can I make my garden more wildlife-friendly?

    A wildlife-friendly garden needs four things: food sources (nectar-rich flowers, berries, seed heads left over winter), water (even a small dish helps), shelter (dense shrubs, log piles, undisturbed corners), and connectivity (gaps in fences for hedgehogs, climbing plants for insects). Our garden design approach builds these elements into stylish spaces that support local ecosystems while looking contemporary. Wildlife-friendly doesn't mean wild-looking — a garden can be elegant and ecologically valuable at the same time.
