A garden must be a workable, practical space β not necessarily a conceptual fancy, or a stage set: more a space that fulfils a ranges of specific needs.
Whatever the space, Chris will redesign and replant your garden to transform it into the perfect outdoor experience, employing textures, sounds, tastes and smells to stimulate all the senses.
By combining high quality materials, bespoke features and expert horticultural knowledge, we use our creative flair to design gardens that suit your individual taste and style.
From large scale housing developments to smaller commercial premises, we undertake all aspects of design from planning through to technical detailing and creative design.Β
We create sustainable, diverse planting schemes with a wow factor - using only high quality plants with expert ground preparation that result in long lasting schemes.

I loved designing this @gardenrescueofficial garden for a medal winning couple in Loughborough. Reclaimed materials, dramatic planting, bespoke construction⦠it had it all!
Well done to the build team on this one - absolutely smashed it. That curved gabion bench is such a unique feature.
Thank you @garden_ninja_lee for the banter (as always) and the awesome bee posts!
What did you think of the planting? Bold and beautiful or too bright? Personally I love the contrast but some people canβt handle that much yellow π

Behind the scenes of making an alpine trough for @itvloveyourweekend
This was quite gung ho, sheltering from the rain in the back of the van! The plants will really start to settle in over the next growing season.
Plants kindly donated from @kevockgarden - a real mix of some beautiful alpines.
A few of my favourites were - Daphne βTichborneβ Sisyrinchium βDevon Skies Erinus alpinus Sempervivum calcareum Sedum spathulifolium βPurpureum Leontopodium nivale subsp. alpinum
The trick is to be restrained with your plants and rock selection and to not over fill it. Good drainage is also essential!
The salt glazed trough and granite setts are reclaimed and bought @tobysreclamation and the slate was also second hand from my good friend @ac_roofing_services

Iβm always getting things filthy from gardening tools to bikes, so I thought Iβd put the @stihlgb RCA20 cordless pressure washer through its paces.
I only do Ads for products I genuinely like, and I wanted an excuse to look like a rad dad. The best thing about it is that you donβt need mains power or water, so you can use it with the bladder or a water butt. You can also plug it into a tap if youβre cleaning things at home.
It has a lance extension and a detergent bottle included in the kit. It also has multiple spray settings and an eco mode if you need to save power, but the AS batteries charge very quickly.
Definitely a great fit for my lifestyle Iβm often away from water connections and seem to get everything covered in mud π

The key is to prune more often than you think and you will create a dense plant with few holes. There is something to be said for leaving the shaggy new growth for a while though, as it looks great!
These Yew topiary balls had only been planted this year and were long overdue some shaping. They looked fab in the summer against the grasses and perennials, but I love that theyβre going to provide structure even through the winter.

Pink themed garden with all weather reading shelter β
@garden_ninja_lee and I had a blast on this build! We went all out with pink outfits to match the theme π€!
This really was the smallest garden rescue build weβve done and I packed a lot into the design! When a covered seating/reading nook is on the brief I really had to rack my brains to think about working it into the design without taking light from their patio doors.
The planting is very traditional but the green, pink and whites work very well together π. Some lovely paving details as well to complement this, mixing aged bricks with more contemporary planks.
Cracking job by the team as always @benjaminrichardpope @landy3614 @leighapugh @jimbobs2020 @burdfieldlandscaping
