‘Soil in this part of Surrey often favours heath or woodlands…’

How do we tailor our approach?

Successful garden design in Esher involves being inspired and able to get creative with often mature gardens, including relocating established shrubs or plants to create and shape a new scheme that works around your lifestyle, perhaps for a new stage of life after children have gone to university or flown the nest.

The town of Esher lies on the edge of the famed Esher Commons, which covers 360 hectares whose history goes back over 6,000 years and which is well known as a picturesque and tranquil setting. Soil in this part of Surrey often favours heath or woodlands, providing a home for heather, grasses and birch trees which thrive in this type of environment.

Esher is surrounded by a wealth of beautiful countryside, including ponds and popular natural destinations such as the magnificent Bushy Park, whose 1,100 acres are a haven for all sorts of wildlife - and inspiration for anyone looking to recreate some of the peace and quiet found there much closer to their own home.

Hampton Court Palace and Claremont Landscape Garden, which is managed by the National Trust, are also popular and scenic nearby haunts that can be drawn on to influence the foundations and detail of garden design projects in this part of Surrey.
