Our experienced team brings your design to life with meticulous craftsmanship and the highest quality materials.
Flourish Landscaping provides considered garden design, high-quality landscape construction, and expert ongoing maintenance for private gardens across South West London and Surrey.
Our work is rooted in horticultural knowledge, careful detailing, and an understanding of how gardens evolve over time. Whether you are planning a full garden redesign or refining an established space, we focus on creating outdoor environments that are practical, beautiful, and built to last.
We work closely with each client, from initial ideas through to completion and aftercare, ensuring every garden reflects both the character of the property and the way it will be used.
Garden design
Good garden design balances structure, planting, and movement through the space. Our design process considers how the garden will look and function throughout the year, not just on day one.
We develop clear layout plans, planting schemes, and material palettes that suit the site, the surrounding architecture, and the long-term maintenance requirements. Designs may include structural planting, pleached screening, seasonal borders, lawns, terraces, and carefully positioned focal features.y:
Designs can be provided as part of a full design and build project or as a standalone service.

Landscaping and construction
Our landscaping work is delivered by experienced landscape specialists who understand both construction and horticulture.
We carry out all aspects of garden build, including groundworks, paving, retaining walls, fencing and screening, pergolas, raised beds, lawns, and irrigation.
Materials are selected for durability and appearance, and planting is installed with proper soil preparation to support healthy growth.
Attention to detail at this stage is essential. Levels, drainage, and build quality all influence how a garden performs over time, and we take care to get these fundamentals right.
Garden maintenance
Our garden maintenance service supports gardens once they are established, helping them mature and perform as intended.
Maintenance visits are tailored to the garden and season, and may include pruning, plant care, lawn management, soil improvement, and general horticultural upkeep. Work is carried out by trained horticulturists who understand plant behaviour and seasonal requirements, not just surface appearance.
We offer regular maintenance schedules as well as seasonal or one-off visits, depending on the needs of the garden.
Garden styles we work with
While every garden is individual, our work often draws on a number of established garden styles. These influences help shape structure, planting, and materials, while still allowing the design to respond to its specific setting.
- Contemporary gardens – Contemporary gardens emphasise clean lines, strong geometry, and a restrained planting palette. Hard landscaping often features porcelain paving, concrete, or architectural timber, combined with structured planting and ornamental grasses such as Calamagrostis and Stipa for year-round movement and form.
- Traditional and formal gardens – Formal gardens are defined by symmetry, clear axes, and strong structure. Features such as clipped hedging, pleached trees, and balanced planting schemes create order and calm, often using species such as Carpinus betulus, Taxus baccata, or Buxus alternatives suited to modern growing conditions.
- Naturalistic and informal gardens – Naturalistic gardens focus on softer forms and layered planting, designed to feel relaxed and seasonal. Perennial planting schemes often include species such as Echinacea, Rudbeckia, and Verbena bonariensis, arranged to provide interest from spring through to autumn.
- Family-friendly gardens – Family gardens balance durability with planting interest, creating spaces that work for everyday life. Lawns, play areas, and seating are integrated with robust planting schemes that can tolerate regular use while still developing character over time.
- Courtyard and small gardens – Smaller gardens benefit from careful spatial planning and strong focal points. Thoughtful use of materials, vertical planting, and lighting can make compact spaces feel generous, calm, and functional.

Our approach
Every project begins with understanding how the garden will be used and how it should develop in the years ahead. We consider soil conditions, aspect, drainage, and maintenance requirements from the outset, ensuring the finished garden performs as well as it looks.
Our aim is always to deliver gardens that feel settled, balanced, and appropriate to their setting, rather than over-designed or reliant on short-term trends.
