Professional and experienced, Jonathan Wild Gardens offers a friendly and affordable approach to creating special gardens.

We have many years’ experience designing and building beautiful and practical gardens for clients across the country. Some have been small, intimate and peaceful courtyards whilst others have graced country properties – all of them unique and sympathetic to both the brief and our expert knowledge of exactly what can be achieved given the constraints of budgets and site.

Our portfolio reflects the diversity of projects that we have been involved in and the flexibility of our approach to the final design – we are as happy to create a fresh clean contemporary garden as we are to one which has a traditional English country feel. What is important is that we reflect the desires of our clients for their gardens, add some essential inspiration and achieve the ‘wow factor’ when the final plant is put in the border!

As well as homeowners we have also worked with architects, property developers and commercial organisations and a very successful track record in liaising and negotiating with planning departments and other government agencies.

We strive wherever possible to minimise environmental impact and will always specify sustainable or even recycled products when the opportunity allows. Equally wildlife is never forgotten and allowances, and indeed opportunities, are always considered – even in the smallest gardens!

Jonathan is involved in every aspect of the work and enjoys establishing strong and effective working relationships with his clients. This enables a better understanding of their lifestyle requirements and ensures that there is a real element of trust behind his proposals.

The following projects are just a sample of the numerous examples that have been built over the years:

Front Garden Terracing

The client had a small patch of sloping grass at the front of the property which had a very old and ‘unsaveable’ Cherry growing in it. My solution was to remove all the grass, terrace the ground using reclaimed sleepers … Continue reading

Manor Gardens

Burgage Manor is a historic property in Southwell, Nottinghamshire which was once (1803 – 1808) the home of Lord Byron and his mother. The property is now privately owned and the gardens which extend to approximately one acre include ponds, … Continue reading

Water Feature in Front Garden

Fresh Suburban Garden

Cottage Garden

A very tired old cottage garden needed a total makeover to bring it back to a colourful vibrant well-planted space. The cost was minimal but the end result very satisfying!

Floral Paradise

This was an established garden that needed an injection of chutzpa to enliven it. By adding a new summerhouse in the far corner with a snaking path to take you there it created a new level of interest in the … Continue reading
