A well designed garden requires a balance of hard and soft landscaping to create harmony with the surrounding environment. As we are all aware, doing what we can to take care of our environment is imperative and Living Landscapes works hard to ensure that all the gardens we create are ecologically friendly and kind to the natural world.

With over 26 years’ experience in designing and constructing gardens - from contemporary to period, from courtyards to country gardens - Living Landscapes are a small, friendly, professionally run company that designs, builds and maintains gardens to the very highest standards without sacrificing that all important personal service.

From conception through to completion, we carry out all aspects of garden design and hard and soft landscaping, including surveys, drawings, timber decking, patios, driveways, fencing, water features, outdoor lighting, tree surgery and planting.

Living Landscapes operates from Chichester, West Sussex, and covers West Sussex, Hampshire, Surrey, London and Dorset.

We cater for private clients as well as commercial customers. Living Landscapes also constructs gardens for many high profile garden designers and builds gardens that do not require a design.
