Garden & Landscape Designer Cornwall – Coastal and Country Gardens for Cornish Homes
We create gardens that celebrate Cornwall's unique landscape and climate. From coastal plots with sea views to sheltered valley gardens, our designs work with Cornwall's special conditions to create beautiful, sustainable outdoor spaces.
Garden Design for Cornish Homes
Cornwall's mild, maritime climate creates opportunities found nowhere else in the UK. Exotic plants that would struggle elsewhere thrive here, while the dramatic coastline and ancient landscape provide inspiring backdrops for garden design.
Whether you have a clifftop property with Atlantic views, a sheltered valley garden, a cottage in a fishing village, or a farmhouse on the moors, we create gardens that respond to your site's unique character.
Our Approach
Our design philosophy works with Cornwall's climate and landscape rather than against them. We understand the challenges of coastal gardening: salt-laden winds, exposed sites, and free-draining soils. We also know the opportunities: the extended growing season, the exotic plants that flourish here, and the dramatic natural beauty that provides context for every garden.
If you want a coastal garden that genuinely works, we have the expertise.

Entertaining Spaces
A well-designed outdoor entertaining space transforms a garden into an extension of the home—whether it’s a chic urban terrace in West London or a sprawling countryside retreat in Somerset. By incorporating architectural features such as outdoor kitchens, water features, seating areas, and pergolas, you can create a functional, stylish, and inviting space for social gatherings, family relaxation, and alfresco dining.
Country Gardens
A country garden design captures the essence of the countryside, blending natural planting, structured elements, and practical features to create a landscape that feels both inviting and effortlessly beautiful. Whether you're looking to design a sprawling traditional cottage garden, a wildlife-friendly retreat, or a more modern country garden, our expert team can create a space that enhances your rural home while reflecting the charm of the natural surroundings.
Sustainable Gardens
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. Our bespoke garden design services prioritise sustainability, using drought-resistant planting, permeable materials, and wildlife-friendly features to create beautiful yet low-maintenance gardens across London, Bath, Bristol, Sussex, Cornwall, Kent, and Surrey.
Meadow Gardens
A meadow garden design offers a breathtaking, naturalistic approach to landscaping, bringing movement, texture, and biodiversity to your outdoor space. Whether you want to replace a traditional lawn with a wildflower meadow or introduce a pollinator-friendly habitat into your garden, meadow planting can transform your landscape into a thriving, low-maintenance oasis.
Kitchen Gardens
A kitchen garden design brings beauty and practicality together, offering a space where fresh herbs, vegetables, and fruit flourish right outside your door.

FAQs
Do you cover my area in Somerset or the South West?
We work across Somerset from our base near Glastonbury, including Wells, Frome, Taunton, Bath, Bristol, Bridgwater, Street, and surrounding villages throughout the Mendips and Somerset Levels. We also serve Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Wiltshire for larger projects. If you're unsure whether we cover your location, just ask — we'll give you a straight answer. Our full garden design service is available throughout the South West.
Can you design cottage gardens in Somerset?
Absolutely — cottage garden style suits many Somerset properties perfectly. Our approach balances the romantic abundance of traditional cottage planting with practical structure that keeps things manageable. We select plants that thrive in Somerset's conditions, create framework with evergreen hedging and paths, and design schemes that offer interest through all seasons. A cottage garden can look effortlessly natural while being thoughtfully designed for long-term success.
What is naturalistic planting design?
Naturalistic planting mimics how plants grow in nature — drifts of perennials, ornamental grasses, and self-seeding annuals that create dynamic, seasonal interest. Pioneered by designers like Piet Oudolf, it's lower maintenance than traditional borders once established, and superb for biodiversity. Plants are chosen for their structure and seed heads as much as their flowers, giving year-round interest. Our planting schemes often incorporate naturalistic elements, particularly in country gardens where the style connects beautifully with the surrounding landscape. It suits clients who want gardens that feel alive and slightly wild, rather than manicured.
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.
What should I consider when designing a country garden?
Country gardens need to work harder than urban ones. Key considerations include: views (frame the good ones, screen the bad), practical access for maintenance equipment, shelter from prevailing winds, and connection to the surrounding landscape. Think about how you'll use the garden across seasons, not just summer. Where will you store logs? How visible are bins and compost? Can delivery vehicles access easily? Our Somerset and Kent projects often incorporate borrowed landscape, making the garden feel much larger by celebrating views of surrounding countryside.
