About my work....

All gardens are unique. They should be an extension of your home & your character. They should have a connection to their surroundings, to the adjacent architecture & to the people that use them.

Most people today have busy lives, often juggling work & family, so to have a garden that is both beautiful and as practical as possible is very important. There is no such thing as a maintenance free garden !

I have spent all my working life being inspired by plants. Firstly in forestry, then in horticulture, growing trees & shrubs for the trade. A desire to be more creative with these plants led me to 'get into gardening'. I worked at a busy New Forest hotel for several years, giving me a thorough understanding of the importance of a practically laid out garden & of good plant husbandry. During this time I studied garden design at Bournemouth University & spent a good deal of time visiting & analysing many of the great gardens that have been created throughout our past.

Moving into the world of landscaping & design I have spent over 10 years designing, building & maintaining all types of garden, from small, town & city plots to grand country houses & everything in between. This has given me a great range of experience in all sorts of design, planting & hard landscaping. In 2005 I started my own business & I can offer you the creative talent & the practical knowledge to create the perfect outdoor space for your home.

In 2008 I trained in the use of 'Vectorworks' garden design software & can now offer cad (computer aided drafting) plans for all design work. I also now have a full team of specialist hard landscapers & tree surgeons to enable me to undertake larger garden projects.

In June 2005 Julian Hoxter said
"As a gardening novice, I was worried that a designer might impose his ideas on me or leave me with a show garden that I wouldn't be able to take care of properly. On the contrary, Steve Browne was friendly, helpful and always went out of his way to explain his ideas clearly at every stage of the project. His design was elegant, yet contemporary and, most importantly, sympathetic to the style and location of my house. The work was all carried out efficiently and all costs and options were made clear upfront, with no hidden extras. I am delighted with my new garden and would be happy to recommend Steve most warmly."
