Greenbook Landscape Design Has Moved to Exeter!

A big change has happened in the Greenbook world – we’ve moved! Both the business and our
lives have made the exciting journey down to Exeter, Devon, a place that’s close to our hearts. It’s
also where Chris first picked up his gardening tools and discovered his passion for all things
gardens.

With its rolling moors, stunning beaches, and arguably the best countryside views in the UK, Devon
feels like the perfect location for Greenbook to thrive. This county has always held a special place
in our hearts, and we’re thrilled to bring our garden design expertise back to the homeland. We
can’t wait to dive into some truly amazing projects here! So, if you’ve got a garden in need of
creative inspiration, please get in touch – we’d love to hear from you.

Why Move To Exeter Now?

Moving to Devon has always been on the cards for us, but we finally took the leap in 2024. It’s a
decision that feels right both personally and professionally. Exeter and the surrounding areas
provide endless inspiration for creating beautiful, nature-connected spaces – and we’re ready to
bring your garden dreams to life in this incredible region.

What Does This Mean for Our Garden Design Work?

While our home base has shifted, our commitment to garden design excellence remains the same.
We’re still here to help transform your outdoor spaces, wherever you are. However, there’s one
small change: we may not always be able to build the spaces we design for you if you’re located
outside the South West.

Not to worry, though – we have some trusted professionals further up the country who can turn our
designs into reality. So, no matter where you are, don’t hesitate to reach out!

The majority of our work moving forward will be South West-based, with a particular focus on
Devon. Whether it’s an urban retreat in Exeter or a sprawling countryside estate, we’re excited to
create spaces that perfectly suit their settings.

Exciting New Garden Design Consultation Service

To make our expertise more accessible, we’re also offering a dedicated Garden Design
Consultation Service. This service allows us to work closely with you to develop ideas, create
plans, and guide your garden transformation. Whether you need full-scale designs or just advice to
take your outdoor space to the next level, we’re here to help.

or further afield, we’d love to collaborate with you on your next garden project. If you are in need
of a garden designer, let’s create something incredible together!

Let’s get planting!

Are alpines back? 

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 ‘Tichborne’ 
Sisyrinchium ‘Devon Skies
Erinus alpinus 
Sempervivum calcareum 
Sedum spathulifolium ‘Purpureum
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

No plugs or taps needed! 💦

I’m always getting things filthy from gardening tools to bikes, so I thought I’d 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 don’t 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 you’re 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 I’m often away from water connections and seem to get everything covered in mud 👌

Pruning topiary is the most satisfying job.. 🪴

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 they’re going to provide structure even through the winter.
