Garden Designer in St Albans

Design-led Garden projects in St Albans

I create thoughtful, well considered gardens for homes in and around St Albans, working with clients who value quality, clarity of layout and outdoor spaces that feel genuinely connected to their setting. My work is best suited to full garden redesigns and larger projects where careful planning and long term thinking make a lasting difference.

St Albans has a rich mix of period properties, mature gardens and generous plots. Each site brings its own opportunities and constraints, and every design is tailored to respond to scale, architectural character and how the garden will be used over time.

Gardens in St Albans often sit alongside period properties and mature trees, with enclosed boundaries and established ground conditions. Aspect, shade and existing structure tend to influence how gardens function, particularly in long-settled residential areas. Thoughtful layout is key to making the most of these spaces.

Full garden design services

I offer a complete garden design service, including:

  • Masterplanning and layout development

  • Holistic garden design drawings

  • Detailed planting schemes that support the overall structure

  • Design support through build and installation

Every project is approached with a focus on structure, proportion and longevity, rather than short term trends or quick solutions.

How I work

My design process begins with an in depth conversation about how you want to use your garden and what it needs to deliver long term. I work through a clear, staged design process that allows ideas to develop properly before moving into detailed plans.

This approach suits clients who are looking to invest in their outdoor space and want confidence, clarity and cohesion throughout the design.

Areas I work in nearby

I work across Hertfordshire and the surrounding areas, including Bishop’s Stortford, Harpenden, Ware, Much Hadham and Little Hadham. Each location has its own dedicated page that explains how I work locally.
