Services
What we actually do.
Four practices, kept separate so a garden is not “landscaped” and then abandoned.
Seasonal care
The year, written down.
Open a month. These are the jobs we schedule — not a mood board of the seasons.
Transformation
Shed yard, Mortlake.
Same fence line, same camera position. The lawn was tired, the terrace didn’t exist, and the shrub was hoping.
Drag to compare. On a keyboard, focus the slider and use the arrow keys.
Before
After
Before: a patchy lawn and a plain timber fence. After: a York-stone terrace, a lawn small enough to mow, and layered shrubs. Built in 2025. Lighting and framing match so the change is the garden, not the photograph.
Monthly plans
Care with a number on it.
Three retainers. Visits are booked, not remembered. Prices are for a typical Richmond garden and confirmed after a walk-round.

How it works
Four steps, no theatre.
Maintenance clients and project clients follow the same gate. The work after the visit is different.
01 EnquiryPostcode, and whether you want monthly care or a design and build.
02 Site visitWe walk the garden, measure the shade, and say plainly if we are the right studio.
03 PlanA short proposal: scope, season, and a price with the assumptions written down.
04 CareBuild or plant in the right month. If you want us to stay, the retainer starts the month after.
Gardens & voices
Kept, not just photographed.
They did not arrive with a lorry of box balls. They asked where the sun actually lands in March, and the border has behaved ever since.

Advice with a date on it.
Book a visit
A walk, not a pitch.
We look at soil, shade and how you actually use the garden. If we are the wrong studio, we say so.
Serving Richmond, Kew, Kingston, Petersham, Ham and Barnes. Further afield only when we can still maintain the work.
