From coastal havens to country retreats, the Ivy & Whyte Garden Design Team throws its passion into each and every precious project. Our bold, artistic approach to design coupled with our skills and knowledge, ensure that we have a vast portfolio of modern, thoughtful and timeless designs, unique to each client.
Our award-winning designers craft bespoke outdoor spaces that blend artistic vision with environmental wisdom, bringing your garden dreams to life.
From start to finish we are beside you to ensure your dream garden becomes a reality, taking you through the whole process from site surveys to planting and aftercare.
Begin your garden transformation with a *free no-obligation consultation. This involves a visit to you and your garden to discuss the things you like, the things you don’t and how you envisage your outdoor space.
*within a 10 mile radius
If you decide to go ahead, we will come back to measure your garden, confirm your brief and get ready to start designing your garden. For larger gardens and more complicated projects, we outsource our site surveys to a trustworthy surveyor.
Then we chat over a selection of moodboards and styles with you to really get an understanding of your perfect space. Once we have a full understanding of your wants and needs and any challenging aspects, we can get on with the actual design.
Once the perfect design is signed off, we work to produce detailed construction drawings and site plans to enable your garden to be built by landscapers or builders. Information and samples of materials are shared and tweaked to perfection.
Throughout the whole project, we’ll actively participate and collaborate with clients, contractors & suppliers, helping to assist with the tendering process, offering weekly site visits, phone call assistance with landscapers and delivery & planting of plants.
We can provide you with a planting quote at any point during the project, source your plants from the best suppliers, arrange delivery, plant them and we even offer an aftercare maintenance service to keep your plants looking their very best.
Every extraordinary garden starts with extraordinary people. Our team unites creative talent with deep horticultural knowledge, bringing together backgrounds from working at prestigious gardens like Sissinghurst Castle to award-winning RHS show gardens. Whether you’re working with our Kent or Sussex studio, you’ll experience the perfect blend of artistic vision and practical expertise that defines Ivy & Whyte
We opened our Garden Design practice in 2014, and now have two design studios in Brighton, Sussex and Hythe, Kent. Having evolved into one of the south east’s leading garden design teams, with our unique style and knowledge we are at the forefront of outdoor design, with a specialist expertise in coastal design.
Bold with vision, our friendly professional team offers a warm and personal service. We listen, then design and deliver our clients’ dream outdoor space. Our collaborative knowledge in landscaping, horticulture, art and architecture, ensures we provide our clients with a comprehensive service.
Our journey began over two decades ago, and since then we’ve cultivated hundreds of extraordinary gardens, earning recognition at the prestigious RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show and appearing across national media. We are registered members of the SGD (Society of Garden Designers) and the APL (Association of Professional Landscapers).
Although we design many different types of garden, we have a specialist knowledge in the area of coastal design. Coastal Garden Design is our first published book! This has been many years in development – we wanted to capture the elements of living by the sea, share some insights and show you how to create your own coastal garden paradise, wherever you live. We are very proud of the outcome!
Coastal garden design can be challenging. Salt-laden winds, plant needs and differing soils all have to be considered – and we can advise and guide, designing to your garden’s unique conditions.
