A garden designed around your home, your lifestyle and the way you want to live
No two gardens should be the same.
Hedge & Thistle provides a personalised garden design service combining creativity with more than 30 years of horticultural knowledge. Each design responds to the individual property, its conditions and the people who will ultimately enjoy it.
The process begins with understanding your space. This includes its existing features, architecture, aspect, soil, growing conditions and practical requirements, as well as the style and atmosphere you would like to create.
Designs are generally hand drawn, giving each project a personal and considered quality rather than relying on a standard formula.
Plant selection with purpose
Beautiful gardens begin with plants that belong in their environment.
Plant selection is central to the Hedge & Thistle approach. Each species is considered for its suitability to the site, growth habits, scale, form, colour, texture and seasonal qualities, as well as how it will interact with the surrounding planting as the garden matures.
Plants can be sourced from a variety of trusted suppliers, personally selected and delivered to your property. Hedge & Thistle can also assist with the physical implementation of the planting design, providing continuity from the original concept through to the finished garden.
More than planting
Depending on your project, garden design and implementation can also incorporate:
- Planting plans and plant sourcing
- Soil assessment and improvement
- Irrigation design, installation and management
- New lawn planning and establishment
- Vertical garden design and installation
- Development or redesign of existing gardens
- Commercial planting design
- Ongoing horticultural guidance and garden care
Whether you are starting with a blank canvas, renovating an established garden or looking to make better use of an existing outdoor space, the result is a garden designed to suit its surroundings and continue developing beautifully over time.
