OUR ETHOS

Our aim is to provide our clients with a garden space that reflects their lifestyle and personality, making our work stylish and innovative without being intimidating. From our no-nonsense, ‘down to earth’ Garden Design Consultations to our After-Care Packages, we offer a total, ‘concept to creation’ design and build service to our clients.

We specialise in urban domestic back gardens, usually within London where space can be at a premium. In most cases we are required to create a garden that ticks many boxes: a green space; an extension of the home; an outdoor room; somewhere to relax; to entertain; to accommodate animals (and children); something to treasure; a practical space with storage solutions; an inviting environment in which to escape from the hurly burly of the London city life.

From courtyards to country gardens, we have a varied and dynamic style with which we strive to produce something unique and personal for each of our clients.

Over the past few years we have received numerous calls from people beyond our immediate catchment area interested in commissioning an ED Garden. In response to this we have developed a popular postal garden design service, meaning that no matter where you are in the world we are still able to deliver that special ED Gardens magic. Garden Consultations are also possible anywhere in the world. Please contact us to find out the best way to tackle a project if you live abroad.

ED Gardens are a Registered Practice with the Society of Garden Designers, giving you piece of mind that our work is carried out to the highest professional standards.

THE TEAM

Katrina Kieffer-Wells – MSGD

HEAD OF Garden Design

Katrina started garden design in 2003. Katrina has been a keen gardener since childhood and worked as a florist for many years. After graduating from university in 1998 with a degree in Creative Arts, Katrina went to work as a producer for a prestigious design and events company based in London’s West End. She left in 2002 and decided to couple her love and knowledge of gardening with her creative skills and experience of event management. Since then Katrina and her husband Matt have produced over 290 designs and 130 builds .

Katrina will usually be the first person you meet from the team. Unlike many other garden designers, she has a hands-on, dynamic style allowing the client to become very much a part of the design process. On paper she will work your garden into a magical place before handing it over to the rest of the team to implement the design. Her work has featured in various national newspapers and lifestyle publications over the years.

Matt Kieffer-Wells

HEAD OF Garden BUILD

Matt manages projects from the contractual stage to completion – co-ordinating all contractors, suppliers and staff on-site and acting as the first port of call for the client. He has constructed or overseen the construction of over 130 garden builds and has developed an excellent working knowledge of most aspects of garden construction, including material selection, construction techniques and on-site problem solving.

ED Gardens usually has two teams running separate projects. Our on-site teams typically consists of a Site Manager, Assistant Site Manager and 1 or 2 landscape labourers. Work undertaken ‘in-house’ includes hard and soft garden landscaping, structural design, lighting design and water features. Other services, such as tree surgery and electrical installation, are out-sourced to specially selected professionals.

All of our gardens are designed on an individual basis to fit your personality and lifestyle.
