Sussex, Hampshire & Surrey Lanscaping

Thoughtfully designed. Beautifully built. Enduringly natural.

South Downs Gardens is a bespoke garden design and construction practice based in Sussex and Hampshire, working across the South Downs National Park, surrounding Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and into carefully considered urban spaces beyond.

Designed in harmony with its landscape

A well-designed country garden responds sensitively to its setting. By balancing these natural elements with carefully considered contemporary features, it creates a cohesive, welcoming environment designed for modern outdoor living.

Intelligent design for modern urban living

A town garden should feel like an escape from the pace of urban life. With smart use of space, considered planting, and elegant design details, it can become a calm, stylish retreat right outside your door.

Balanced & Connected

For over 20 years, we have been creating gardens that feel personal, balanced, and deeply connected to their surroundings. From our first conversation to the final planting, we take a hands-on, considered approach — guiding you through each stage with clarity, care, and attention to detail, so the journey is as rewarding as the finished garden.

Grand Estates & Urban Retreats

We design and build gardens for grand country estates and refined urban retreats alike. Our work ranges from elegant classical layouts to contemporary, layered spaces designed for modern living, with planting schemes that are both expressive and sustainable. Every garden is shaped by its setting, its architecture, and the people who live there, using carefully chosen materials that age beautifully over time.

Complete In-House Service

We offer a complete in-house service, from the first pencil mark to the last pleached tree. By keeping design, construction, and horticulture under one roof, we ensure a seamless process and a cohesive result. Working closely with you throughout, our award-winning designers, skilled craftspeople, and horticulturalists collaborate to bring your vision to life with precision, integrity, and quiet confidence.
