The Oakleigh Manor team have over 20 years experience of designing and building exquisite outdoors spaces, all designed to enhance our client’s properties and lifestyle. Our talented designers will visit you at home so as to discuss your ideas, aspirations and turn dreams into reality…
Designing and building the ideal garden for your property is not as simple as planting a few shrubs and laying down a walkway. A garden must embody the spirit of the homeowner, be considerate of the context in which it exists, nod respectfully to tradition and enrich the lives of those who encounter it. That’s a tall order to be sure, but the team of landscape design professionals at Oakleigh Manor are up to the challenge.
While our clients come to us to take advantage of our landscape and garden design expertise, many already have well-formed ideas regarding what they want to see. We believe the designer that ignores or glosses over client input, in an attempt to impose their own will on the process, does that client a grave disservice in the long run.
At Oakleigh Manor, we cultivate the fine art of listening. It’s only by listening that we come to truly understand the client, their wishes, and their goals. This knowledge then provides context for the deployment of our landscape design expertise. In other words, it’s the client that indicates the direction, it’s the designer who guides the project home via that direction.
As mentioned, our clients often have a good idea of what they want their outdoor space to look like before they approach us. In those cases, our job is to create a productive partnership with the homeowner that facilitates the creation of their dream garden. All major decisions are reached together, and lines of communication are always open.
In other cases, clients are more than happy to let our award-winning garden design pros have free reign. In such instances, all our years of experience and expertise are applied to the goal of creating a beautiful garden that enhances the property in meaningful ways while providing an oasis the client will treasure for years to come.

Our talented Garden Design team cater for all your requirements, creating bespoke gardens tailored to suit your requirements.
A well-designed Garden, tailored to suit you and your lifestyle, can transform your home, extending your indoor areas to the fresh air outside, creating a place to relax, entertain, dine, play, rest, grow food, encourage wildlife & much more. It doesn't stop there, our designers will stylise your outdoor space to expand and compliment your home, adding huge lifestyle benefits and adding core value to your property in the long term. Good for Body and Soul - While the aesthetic benefits of a well-considered garden are there for all to see and enjoy, there is more to the garden than a means to satisfy the eye. The garden, if done properly, provides numerous physical and psychological benefits as well, including: The ability to nurture a new hobby: Once the garden is established it will need to be kept up. This provides the opportunity for the cultivation of a new hobby that can be very physically beneficial. Fresh air: While a single London garden is not going to solve the world’s air pollution problem on its own, it will significantly freshen the air both in and around the house. Stress relief: One thing is certain, the world isn’t getting any less stressful. As such, it’s more important than ever for people to have a place they can go and detach from the modern world for a while.
Our talented Design team recognise every external space & every client has unique requirements, this is why we tailor your space to suit you and your home, transforming your home and often your life, enhancing your time spent at home, maximising the outdoors within not only stunning aesthetics but functional, feel-good external spaces. Every landscape contractor knows a garden does not exist in a vacuum. The lines, colours, textures and other elements used must coexist peacefully with the lines, colours and textures of the house itself. It must be both a logical extension of the home, and a bridge between indoors and outdoors that produces a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.
Stylish and functional Gardens built with longevity are hardly inexpensive, but everything you invest in a well configured external space or garden will add significant value to your home and more importantly give you hours of pleasure and relaxation for you, your family and friends for years to come. At the same time, not any old collection of flowers and patio furniture will do. The garden must exist in harmony with its surroundings, promote proper drainage of the property and, ideally, provide different faces at different times of the day. These goals must be baked into the master plan produced by the designers.
Time! A precious commodity in this day an age. Our team can design your space to reduce the ongoing maintenance demands of your home, giving you more time to relax and enjoy your evenings, weekends and any time you get to spend at home. While it’s true that gardens or roof terraces may present the opportunity for the homeowner to develop a new hobby, that doesn’t mean they should be high maintenance. Logical design, quality materials and flora appropriate to the environment will help ensure maintaining your garden is a joy, not a job.
