Garden Design
When you want to redesign or change your garden, it can be hard to know where to start - and how to spend your money wisely. Perhaps the space is overgrown and overwhelming, perhaps you have recently moved into a property with a tired or poorly functioning garden, or perhaps a house renovation has transformed the building while the garden has been left behind. Or perhaps the space simply isn’t quite what you need. These spaces often need more than simple tidy up or a new pot plant. They need thoughtful reimagining.
At Zoe Claymore Garden Design, we create immersive, ecologically led gardens across London, Surrey and beyond, shaping outdoor spaces that feel natural, abundant and deeply connected to place.
Our work combines spatial design with horticultural expertise to restore clarity, enhance atmosphere and bring long term resilience to gardens of all sizes. Through layered planting, sensitive structural design, thoughtful materials and regenerative thinking, we create gardens that not only look beautiful when completed, but continue to mature and improve with time.
Whatever your garden challenge, our approach is rooted in the belief that gardens are living systems, places that should support biodiversity, enrich everyday life and feel increasingly generous with every passing season.
Our Approach
We design gardens as living systems and expressions of their owners, shaped by time, care and ecological understanding. We prioritise:
Regenerative and environmentally responsible practices
Site-responsive design
Low carbon and natural materials
Biodiversity and habitat creation
Long-term garden evolution
Strong relationships between plants, people and place
“We are eternally grateful to Zoe for transforming our small, suburban garden into a beautiful, relaxing space for our family. Working from a starting point of a few existing trees and a large trampoline that we wanted to keep, she cleverly created a beautiful Japanese woodland design that changes dramatically with the seasons, maximises our space and blends in our existing features as if they were intended as part of the design all along. Zoe has been a pleasure to work with, always providing clear breakdowns of the work she will do at each stage, and with clear timelines. We’ve really appreciated the detailed advice she has given us about how to care for the plants, as well as what to expect in the different seasons and from year to year.”

Locations
Garden design & planting projects are undertaken across London, Surrey and selected locations beyond. Our Garden Stewardship service is focused within Richmond, Kingston and Elmbridge, within roughly a 5 mile radius of KT8. For projects outside this area we can support with finding a gardener once the garden is installed. If you are considering a project, we would be pleased to hear from you.
