Even if you're a little further afield you may still have arrived at the right place - Hillman Gardens also regularly cover Islington and Walthamstow. Stylish outdoor room? A family friendly garden where the kids can play football but the dog can also roam around? A traditional Victorian front garden restoration with an authentic tile path?
A Japanese garden with a twist? There are many ways to interact with your outdoor space. Please take a look at a few example projects below and see if anything tickles your fancy. Creative constraints can be a good thing. A Victorian front garden restoration is often an inspiring opportunity because we are working within the confines of both space and tradition.

We are more than happy to recommend working with Duncan and his team.
He designed a new front garden and bin store for us. His process of design and consultation was really clear and he listened to what we wanted. He was then very honest about aspects that he wouldn’t recommend doing as they wouldn’t last long term and he didn’t feel it would be fair to include them.
He is obsessive about attention to detail!
He visited the house several times before starting and was always quick to communicate and reply to emails or concerns.
His team are great. Dan and Jack were often on site most days

We were delighted with the work done by Duncan and his team in landscaping our back garden.
The project was to landscape around a home office that we had recently had installed incorporating various elements into the design such as a path and a pond.
Duncan was very responsive in quickly coming up with a sensible design, which was then implemented to the highest standards and with great attention to detail. I cannot exaggerate how pleased we were with the final result: it blended in the home office, incorporated all the elements we required, and at the same time enhanced the sense of space within

What an amazing transformation of our garden in just 2 weeks! Duncan and his team are highly creative skilled, knowledgable friendly. They clearly enjoy their work and take a great pride in it. The end result of our project was very good value for money too. We love sitting and relaxing in our brilliant new garden.

Duncan is everything you want from a garden designer. When we made the decision to improve our outdoor space we interviewed about 5 different builders / designers and Duncan was by far the best to deal with - from early consultation, to understanding what we wanted to achieve and then on to actual design / implementation and after care. His attention to detail is what I think sets his work apart. Bc he approached the problem from a design angle, dealing with all the little details are what makes the work look so professional.
The work he did for us was fairly detailed - a combination of paving
