I am a Garden Designer working in the Yorkshire area. I have worked as a gardener for over 35 years. This experience makes me more than a paper designer. A good knowledge of horticulture, attention to detail and the ability to visualise all cumulate to create a beautiful space.

The most important part of designing is the understanding of the clients practical requirements and dreams even if initially they do not know what they are. I also have a good team of landscapers and other artists who I work closely with to give a full service of requirements.

Most of my clients want easy maintenance and somewhere pleasant to sit and have a drink, others want something more specialised. Why not check out this web site and see who I am, how I work and some of the designs I have created.

From an informal chat to a full design and build I am at your service.
