Discover a selection of thoughtfully designed gardens, each individually tailored to reflect the character of the property and the lifestyle of our clients. From elegant contemporary spaces to timeless country gardens, every project is crafted with creativity, precision and attention to detail.
Explore each project to view the full garden journey, including design plans, landscaping details and a closer look at the finished spaces and carefully considered details that bring each garden to life.
Tapestry Design Studios have been commissioned to design a wide variety of size, shape and style gardens for our clients. From partial renovations to complete redesigns, practicality with panache is always our priority. We design the garden you’ve always longed for, which works with your lifestyle and compliments your home.
Here you can see just a small selection of gardens we have designed. From the design phase, to start of works and to completion of the garden build. Follow the story of a variety of our gardens and see the huge impact of a beautiful and practical garden design come to life.
Our team of qualified and experienced garden designers have a wide range of skills enabling us to design in any style our clients require. We have designed small balcony gardens which seemed impossible to have created any kind of useable space in, accessible gardens which are highly practical but with no compromise on beauty and large rural gardens which provide practical function but blend in perfectly with the surrounding land.
Do you have a sloping garden? Instead of trying to level the garden or create terraces, work with your existing levels instead.
New build gardens may seem bland and uninspiring. With no existing features to work around our garden design team can really let go with their ideas with no restrictions to create the perfect garden for the homeowner.
Wild and overgrown gardens may seem overwhelming but with a detailed site survey we can bring your new garden to life and plan exactly how you would like your garden to be laid out even before the landscapers have cleared the site.
Not one garden is the same and everyone has their own unique requirements. By a thorough process of site analysis and in depth consultation with each client, coupled with knowledge of the latest trends, materials and technology in garden design, Tapestry Design Studios produce a bespoke and enduring solution every time.
