Luxury Landscape Design & Bespoke Aquatic Environments
ExploreBased in Cheshire, UK, I am a landscape designer and consultant with over 45 years of experience designing and building high-end bespoke projects.

Whether acting as a specialized consultant to your own build team or personally carrying out the construction, my aim is to build breathtaking spaces to be enjoyed for generations. My award-winning portfolio includes gardens opened to the public via the prestigious 'Yellow Book' and the central water feature for the 2023 winning garden design at the Tatton Garden Show.
From meticulously reconstructing historical Victorian grottos to engineering massive bespoke swimming pools complete with natural rock caves and water slides, no project is considered too large. I am actively available for exclusive commissions globally.

The Challenge: A decaying 19th-century Victorian Grotto required complete structural fortification without compromising its historical integrity or delicate surrounding ecosystem.
The Execution: We meticulously sourced period-accurate sedimentary rock and integrated a hidden, state-of-the-art filtration system. The original water flow was mapped and replicated using precision hydraulic engineering.
The Result: A breathtaking, historically accurate water feature that operates with modern efficiency while looking entirely indistinguishable from its original 1800s design.
The Challenge: Designing and engineering a show-stopping central water feature capable of securing the top award at one of the UK's most prestigious horticultural events.
