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.
*free within a 10 mile radius, charges apply beyond
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 studio serving Canterbury, Folkestone, Hythe, Ashford, Dover, Deal, Wingham, and Wye, or our Sussex studio covering Brighton, Seven Dials, Lower Beeding, and Pevensey, you’ll experience the perfect blend of artistic vision and practical expertise that defines Ivy & Whyte’s comprehensive garden design approach across the South East.
We opened our Garden Design practice in 2014, and now have two strategic design studios in Brighton, Sussex and Hythe, Kent. Having evolved into one of the south east’s leading garden design teams, we’ve established ourselves as premier garden designers in Sussex and expert garden design consultants in Kent. With our unique style and specialist knowledge, we are at the forefront of outdoor design across Canterbury, Folkestone, Dover and beyond, with particular expertise in coastal garden design for locations like Deal and Seven Dials.
Bold with vision, our friendly professional team of Sussex garden designers and Kent garden design specialists offers a warm and personal service. We listen carefully to clients from Lower Beeding to Romney Marsh, then design and deliver their dream outdoor spaces. Our collaborative expertise in landscaping, horticulture, art and architecture ensures we provide clients throughout Sussex and Kent with a truly comprehensive service.
Our journey began over two decades ago, and since then we’ve cultivated hundreds of extraordinary gardens across Ashford, Wingham, Pevensey and surrounding areas, earning recognition at the prestigious RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show and appearing across national media. As registered members of the SGD (Society of Garden Designers) and the APL (Association of Professional Landscapers), our garden design services in Sussex and Kent represent the highest industry standards in both creativity and execution.
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, especially in Sussex seaside towns like Seven Dials and Kent coastal areas such as Hythe, Folkestone, and Deal. Our specialized garden designers in Sussex and experienced garden design team in Kent understand that salt-laden winds, specific plant needs, and differing soil conditions all require careful consideration. With extensive experience designing coastal gardens from Dover to Pevensey, we can advise and guide you through creating a stunning seaside sanctuary, tailoring our garden design approach to your property’s unique coastal conditions and microclimate.
