Yes — we're based in Hackney and East London is our home territory. We've completed full garden transformations across Hackney, Walthamstow, Stoke Newington, Bow, Bethnal Green, Stratford, and throughout the East London boroughs. Being local means we understand the specific challenges of East London gardens — the Victorian terrace proportions, the soil conditions, the access restrictions. Our RHS-qualified designer Sarah Ferguson brings deep knowledge of what works in compact urban spaces.

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 London, budgets typically start around £20,000 for smaller courtyard gardens, with larger plots requiring proportionally more. London costs tend to run higher than elsewhere due to access challenges, skip permits, and contractor rates — we're always upfront about this during initial conversations. Approximately 88% of your investment goes toward labour, materials and plants, with around 12% allocated to design.

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, access, and contractor availability — a small courtyard might take 2-3 weeks to construct, while a larger full garden transformation could run to 8-12 weeks. Spring and autumn are our busiest seasons, so if you're hoping for completion before summer entertaining, we recommend booking your consultation in January or February.

Often, yes — small gardens benefit most from professional design because there's no room for error. Every plant, every paving slab, every centimetre matters. Our full garden design service includes 3D visualisations so you can see exactly how your space will look before any work begins. Some of our most satisfying projects have been tiny courtyards and terraces in Hackney and across East London where clever design made a transformative difference. We specialise in creating outdoor entertaining spaces that maximise every square metre.

Absolutely — contemporary design is one of our strengths. Clean lines, architectural planting, quality materials, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. We use techniques like floating benches, cantilevered steps, Corten steel planters, and restrained plant palettes to create calm, sophisticated spaces. Contemporary doesn't mean sterile — our designs balance hard landscaping with soft, biodiverse planting that brings life and movement. Many of our London courtyard projects and entertaining spaces take a contemporary approach that suits modern architecture and lifestyle.

Wildlife is always part of our approach, but we design contemporary spaces, formal gardens, family entertaining areas, and everything in between. What unites our work is thoughtful plant selection that supports pollinators and other wildlife alongside whatever aesthetic you're after. A garden can look sleek and modern while still being ecologically valuable. Our RHS-qualified designer creates biodiverse planting schemes that provide year-round interest while nurturing local ecosystems — from city courtyards to country estates.
