We provide a full garden planning service and advise on all aspects of planting and landscape design. Based in Hampstead Garden Suburb in north London, the practice was set up by London Garden Designer, Sarah Oxby, whose passion for gardens lead her to train in horticulture, garden design and graphics at Capel Manor College, a highly regarded horticultural centre.
Sarah offers a professional and friendly design service and will work with you to create a beautifully stylish garden space which also meets your practical needs. Our gardens are characterised by strong, geometrical design, complemented by structured planting, which creates interest and excitement throughout the year.

Sarah has given me the most beautiful garden. She listened to my ideas and stretched them even further. I could never have got here without her. Her landscaping was inspired and her planting has provided me with a year round of delight. I would thoroughly recommend her.
I am writing this in my study overlooking my wonderful new garden From the first meeting to the final work I could not have been happier She created a garden for us that 18 months on looks brilliant even at this time of the year She was patient with us as myself and my wife sometimes had different ideas my wife usually won but the end result is that we have a garden and new patio we can enjoy and one that our grandchildren can also play in.

Every garden is different, and each has a unique set of requirements. Hampstead Garden Design can take care of all aspects of your garden design from conception, through planning and design to completion. Each of our layout designs is bespoke and is developed to take account of your lifestyle, tastes and the local environment.
Modern & contemporary or traditional & formal, urban town house or country cottage, sunken courtyard or roof garden, we create well designed, beautiful gardens to suit your style and space, gardens which will give you pleasure for many years to come. The clean lines of a contemporary garden can maximise your living space and provide a tranquil area to relax and entertain.
Every garden is unique, with its own set of conditions and challenges. Whatever the topography of your garden; small, shaded, sloping and whatever your needs; low maintenance, easy to access, child friendly, we'll create a beautiful garden that works. The size of your plot is one of the most important factors in garden design.

Sarah of Hampstead Garden Design did an ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS job in the design and implementation of my late sister's house in Hampstead, London NW3. This house was the house of the well-known British satirist Peter Cook and the garden as designed by Sarah has been photographed and published in many UK newspapers during the summer and autumn of 2019, including in the weekend version of the Financial Times. I rate Sarah's work as 200 out of a total of 100. And not only the work, Sarah is a lovely and charming lady and a pleasure to work with.

We hired Sarah to design a complete overhaul of our existing gardens and to create and implement a planting plan for the garden. Right from the beginning we felt comfortable with Sarah and she listened carefully to our requirements. She is extremely pleasant to work with. The communications in-between meetings were helpful and very prompt and Sarah kept us well-informed throughout the project, regularly visiting to check on progress and organising the work of the landscapers (having recommended a great individual to fulfil this role) so we didn’t have to do anything but watch the project unfold

She came up with a design which incorporated our ideas [no lawn, children’s play space, greenhouse, areas out of sight at first, broad steps] but in an inventive way. She helped us to juggle with the design to get exactly what we wanted, then populated it with imaginative planting,
