Garden Designer in Hertfordshire
Thoughtful garden design shaped around your home, space and how you live
Zoe Kilbride is a garden designer working across Hertfordshire, creating gardens that feel balanced, well structured and easy to live with.
Each project is designed in response to the house, the proportions of the garden and how the space will be used over time. The aim is to create a garden that feels considered and cohesive, with a natural flow between different areas.
Garden design across Hertfordshire
Gardens in Hertfordshire are often closely connected to the architecture of the home, whether that is a period property, a family garden or a more contemporary extension.
Many spaces benefit from a clearer layout that brings structure and organisation, helping the garden feel more resolved and easier to use.
A well-considered design brings together layout, materials and planting so the space works as a whole.
A considered approach to garden design
Every project begins with a free initial consultation. This provides an opportunity to talk through your garden, your ideas and whether a full design would be the right next step.
From there, the design develops in response to the space. This may include:
reviewing the existing garden and identifying opportunities for improvement
refining the layout to create a clearer sense of structure and flow
shaping areas for seating, movement and planting
selecting materials that complement the house and surroundings
developing a planting approach that adds depth, texture and seasonal interest
Each project is tailored to the individual garden, with the level of detail adapted depending on the scope.
Planting design in Hertfordshire
Planting design can be developed as part of a full garden design or as a standalone service.
A thoughtfully designed planting scheme brings rhythm, structure and seasonal variation to the garden, while ensuring plants are suited to the conditions.
The aim is to create planting that feels natural, balanced and continues to develop well over time.

Planning your garden project
A garden project often begins with a simple conversation about your space and what you would like to achieve. For larger projects, this starts with a free initial consultation, allowing you to explore ideas and decide whether a full design is the right next step.
If you are looking for guidance without committing to a full design, a standalone garden design consultation is also available, offering a more detailed on-site discussion around layout, planting and practical options. Get in touch with Zoe to arrange a consultation.
