“Our garden designed and built by Tom and his team is a place of tranquility, beauty and a family place to relax. Tom brought the countryside into our magical country cottage garden and we absolutely love it!”

“His intelligent planting, meandering red brick paths, olive trees in impressive oak planters on the adjoining patio, and care to take into consideration the surrounding views created just the pretty garden I wanted. His hard working team were amazing, and the whole job was quick and expertly done. Thanks Tom!”Maureen

The design process entails:
You may just want a planting design for your existing garden space; a whole new look; or a newly themed area. We will work with an abundance of colour and texture to come up with vibrant planting schemes ensuring all year round interest and intrigue. We advocate planting for biodiversity. This service can include a maintenance schedule.
After agreeing a date, and contracts are signed, we will start the landscaping.
To name a few things we do:

Tom creates gardens because he is convinced that good design can fundamentally transform and enhance lives. A fine artist, he recognises the importance of an inspired creative vision.
Having grown up in Bath he has a deep appreciation for the local architecture and historic gardens. Tom was fortunate enough to work under the internationally renowned garden designers Julian and Isabelle Bannerman (www.bannermandesign.com), on a large Wiltshire estate. He then went on to study Landscape Design & Construction at the highly respected Capel Manor College, followed by stints at Buckingham Palace and Clarence House gardens. He was then a foreman at a leading Brighton garden design company before setting up Eaglestone Landscape Design in 2007. Since then he has been asked to work alongside Jake Hobson (jakehobson.com), UPH Consultancy (petherickurquhartandhunt.com) as well as other local successful garden designers.
Tom has an array of experience spanning an impressive holistic knowledge of plants, project management, the design of complex gardens and clever solutions for small spaces!
Aidan has always been interested in gardens and the outdoors. He volunteered at Bath City Farm for many years and he loves working on the allotment with his family. Aidan is a keen and accomplished carpenter, he enjoys working with stone and is an all rounder great guy and excellent creative gardener. Aidan has been with us the longest.
Ailsa works in the charity sector and project management. She has always been involved in gardening projects; setting up sensory eco art gardens in parks, art trails, building straw bale and green architecture structures and getting young people involved in outdoors work. She occasionally works on site and when hassled does the odd bit of admin.
Phil is an extremely talented artist. He also has the gardening bug. Originally from Bath he used to work for a gardening firm maintaining beautiful gardens in South London. He is a very talented landscaper, the joker of the pack, who works extremely hard and is always first on site making us all a coffee.
Michal, a well travelled member of our team, has a passion for street food. As well as working with us he and his girlfriend run ‘The International Spud Station’ – a Polish fusion street food company. He also has a keen interest in hydroponics. His gentle calm presence is always welcome.
We take great pride in our design process and presentation throughout the project.
We only use reputable suppliers with whom we have built up trust. We use locally sourced where possible.
We have built up outstanding relationships with our suppliers who we time and time again.
We pride ourselves on our attention to detail in every aspect of our work.
We are conscientious and tidy (well most of the time!)
We only undertake one landscaping project at a time so our full attention is on you. It is wise to book us in early.
We would love to hear about your project.
I aim to arrange to book the initial meeting within 2-3 weeks of receiving a call/email.
