Love where you live.
Live closer to nature.

We design, build and nurture beautiful, naturalistic gardens across London. Combining award-winning design with exceptional horticultural knowledge, we create spaces that feel deeply personal, alive with nature and made to grow more beautiful with time.

OUR WORK

“The landscapes around us shape the landscapes within us”

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Wild is not neglected.
Wild is intentional.

We create gardens that draw you outside every day of the year — spaces that feel established, personal and alive, designed to grow more beautiful with time.

We build for life, not for the photograph.

Beautiful, alive and deeply personal — a place where we genuinely want to spend our time. It has truly become a little heaven.

HOW WE WORK

Five stages, one continuous act of care.

  1. Getting to know you and your garden

    It starts with a conversation — no finished vision needed.

  2. Developing the vision

    The idea that feels right for the place. And right for you.

  3. Bringing it to life

    Design and delivery working together, from groundworks to hard landscaping.

  4. Planting the garden

    Plants chosen for how they’ll live together, richer with time.

  5. Helping it flourish

    Ongoing aftercare as the design grows into itself.

G&W bring a refreshingly distinctive, honest sensitivity to the space. They are conscientious to the client’s needs and aspirations to great effect.

Andrew & Dee, Islington N1 [garden design & build, 2024]

A world to experience, not just look at.

Stories, sounds, places, people and ideas that stimulate the senses and shape the way we think about gardens, nature and the world around us.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Wondering how it all works?

Do I need to know what I want before I get in touch?

Not at all. Most of our clients arrive with a feeling rather than a plan — a garden that isn’t working, or a sense of what it could be. Part of our job is helping you discover what’s possible.

How much does a garden design and build cost?

Every garden is different, so we don’t work from set packages. Once we’ve seen your space and understood your ambitions, we’ll give you an honest picture of what your budget could achieve and where it will make the most difference.

How long does a project take?

A typical design and build runs from a few weeks for planting projects to several months for a complete garden. We’ll give you a clear timeline at the design stage — and because gardens are living things, the best ones keep improving for years afterwards.
