Jo Thompson garden designer

Jo Thompson Garden Design offers a full service garden design consultancy to clients seeking an outside space which is beautiful, functional, relaxing, high/mid/low maintenance and generally a nice place to be.

You may want a relaxing space in a small urban courtyard, a safe country garden in which your children can play happily and safely, or a roof terrace on which to entertain your friends. From small urban spaces to full-scale rural landscaping, I offer a range of services including the development of the initial garden design concept, construction project management, planting and garden styling.

Gardening design styles

My garden design portfolio includes a wide range of garden designs from contemporary roof terraces with Mediterranean planting to large country gardens with traditional planting, town gardens to kitchen gardens, front gardens to children’s gardens, lakes to ponds, kitchen gardens to patio pots, and walled gardens to window boxes.

My gardens are recognised for their strong, clean, architectural lines softened by abundant planting. You’ll see elegant styling and use of colour, effective garden lighting and bespoke water features.

Working together

I work collaboratively with you, listening to your needs, to ensure that the garden design brief is clear and is interpreted correctly in the plan.

However large or small your outdoor space, we work together to create a distinctive, imaginative yet practical garden to suit your needs and budget, listening carefully to your requirements, ideas and wishes. In particular, when developing the garden design plan, I aim to reflect as closely as possible your style tastes and existing design choices home so that there is a strong visual relationship between the inside and outside spaces. I often work alongside architects and interior designers to ensure that this can be achieved.

Anything is possible

I work closely with a select number of trusted landscape contractors, water feature and lighting design specialists who will carry out my specifications to the highest standard. We ensure the garden design process from initial concept to project completion is smooth and seamless.

All the plants are sourced from specialist nurseries whose quality is assured and for a more instant effect I can bring in mature specimens. I can specify and source seating, fencing, play equipment, storage solutions, trellis, obelisks, water features, furniture and planters, bespoke or off the peg.
