transformed.

Drag the slider to see what engineering and intention can do to a neglected space. Each project begins with a soil core and ends with something that looks entirely inevitable.

Scale & Scope

No site
too complex.

From a 48m² courtyard in Chiswick to a Cotswolds estate — the engineering approach is identical, the scale is not.

Intimate courtyard garden with stone paving, clipped box hedging and seasonal planting in evening light
20–80 m²

Courtyard

Homeowners · New-builds

A muddy rectangle behind a new-build becomes a considered outdoor room. Drainage resolved, species chosen for shade and soil, complete in 6–8 weeks.

Established suburban garden with layered herbaceous borders, lawn and mature shrubs in golden afternoon light
150–600 m²

Suburban Garden

Families · Downsizers

Overgrown lawn or neglected Victorian borders restructured with correct soil amendment, irrigation zoning, and a planting palette calibrated to your aspect.

0.5–10 acres

Country Estate

Estate managers · Landowners

Victorian walled gardens, parkland restoration, formal axes — engineered at scale with full irrigation, drainage surveys, and species provenance documentation.

By brief

Developers · Photographers

Garden installed before Thursday. We supply, plant, and style to photography deadline — then hand over a full maintenance schedule to the incoming owner.

Every project starts with a site visit and soil analysis. No guesswork. No generic planting lists.

Method

The engineering
disappears.

Four stages. Each one resolved completely before the next begins. The result looks effortless because the effort was enormous and entirely invisible.

01
01

Site Survey & Soil Core

We arrive with a tube auger and a pH meter. Soil texture, drainage rate, compaction depth, and aspect are recorded before a single plant is specified. What grows here is determined by what is already here.

100% of projects begin with a soil core

02
02

Engineering Design

Drainage runs, grading profiles, irrigation zones, and root-ball depths are drawn to scale in AutoCAD. The engineering is resolved completely before any plant is ordered.

All drainage designed to 1:100 flood return period

03
03

Planting Specification

Species are selected against soil pH, aspect, hardiness zone, and root competition from existing trees. Every plant is specified with root-ball size, spacing, and seasonal contribution.

Average 34 species per project — zero guesswork

04
04

Installation & Handover

Our planting teams install to the millimetre. Every root ball is set at the specified depth, backfilled with amended soil, and mulched. Handover includes a seasonal care schedule and first-year watering guide.

“Parterre resolved a drainage problem that two previous contractors had failed to identify. The garden they planted looks as though it has always been there.”
