WHAT WE DO

GARDEN DESIGN, PROJECT MANAGEMENT, PLANTING

Carolyn’s designs range from small courtyard spaces to large country gardens. She provides a full design service including overseeing the construction and planting of each garden. Increasingly she works alongside architects as part of the wider design team as clients seek to ensure the design and functionality of their garden matches that of their house.

Her design style is rich in planting with a contemporary twist to structures and hard-landscaping features. She seeks elegant solutions to practical problems and creates peaceful gardens which give pleasure and solace in an often abrasive world. Sustainability is key to Carolyn’s designs, their construction and their maintenance and she strives to steer clients towards designs which are gentle on the environment.
