Services
Garden Design
We create bespoke garden designs tailored to your space and preferences. Our process begins with a free consultation and photographic survey, followed by detailed reports and drawings. Starting at 150, our designs focus on sustainable planting schemes and soft landscaping elements.
Renovation & Development
Specialist garden renovation services restore neglected spaces to their full potential. We handle overgrown areas, structural pruning, and seasonal maintenance projects. Our approach balances immediate improvements with long-term garden health, often working alongside hard landscaping professionals when required.
Specialist Pruning
Expert pruning services for ornamental and fruiting plants ensure healthy growth and optimal flowering. We specialise in wisteria, roses, topiary, and seasonal pruning schedules. Techniques prioritise plant longevity while achieving aesthetic and functional goals for your garden.
Planting Schemes
Custom planting schemes enhance garden beauty with carefully selected species. We advise on plant combinations, care requirements, and budget-friendly options for small or large spaces. Our expertise includes creating vibrant borders and rejuvenating existing planting arrangements.
Topiary Services
Professional topiary design and maintenance services create structured garden features. We shape hedges, create formal designs, and maintain existing topiary specimens. Regular clipping with sharp tools ensures precise forms while maintaining plant health and vigour.

Excellent service, pruning a very unruly wisteria. Simon's knowledge is great and we were very confident to follow his recommendations which seemed a little drastic, but the end result looks like it'll be fab in spring when the wisteria flowers. Good value for money as well.

Report
Simon provided an excellent service (despite the appalling weather) in pruning my very unruly wisteria. From my initial contact he was a pleasure to deal with, responding within 24 hours and answering any questions that I had. On the day, the work was carried out to my complete satisfaction and the cost was extremely reasonable. I can not recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for a professional gardener.

We cannot recommend Simon Land highly enough. He is currently undertaking a redesign of our garden and he is a pleasure to work with. Simon is very knowledgable and incredibly hard working. We have collaborated with him on choice of plants and trees, taking his great recommendations on-board. We also have an annual maintenance plan in place with Simon and our garden has never looked better. Thank you Simon.
