Creating a garden from scratch can be daunting, even for gardeners. I take a client-focused approach to starting you on the journey to a relaxing garden space. I’ll take you through every step, making sure that your garden is to your lifestyle and personal style requirements.
I enjoy going on this journey with you and always aim to achieve a colourful, wildlife friendly environment you can chill out in. Even formal gardens can be havens for wildlife and pollinators.
I take a right-plant, right-place approach to planting design and my years of being a maintenance gardener gives me the knowledge to create a garden with as little maintenance as possible. No garden is maintenance free, and should you not want to take it on yourself I offer a maintenance to many of my garden design clients.

“Ben has only been working in my (very large and previously rather messy) garden for a few months but I can already see the improvements that his skills are making.
I would thoroughly recommend him.”
