Creating Timeless Landscapes in London

Our Landscape London Journey

Our garden design and construction journey began in North London - we started out landscaping Hackney 20 years ago. These days, Hackney remains one of our focal areas of practice, where we continue to transform period property gardens and create spaces that stand the test of time. We have since expanded to become one of the most trusted residential garden builders in North London and East London.

Our Lead Garden Designer

Duncan Hillman, our lead garden designer, draws inspiration not only from the surrounding landscapes in London but also from his roots in Cornwall. The wild rugged terrain on the one hand and the beauty and serenity of the country estate formed the backdrop to his formative years. His love for garden design started at a young age when he witnessed his parents transform a sloping field into a beautiful English country garden. These experiences left a lasting impression and he became fascinated by the intersection between people and nature. From there it has been a natural progression to express himself through creative garden designs that complement and enhance the beauty of the surrounding environment.
