Thoughtful gardens, built to last

I’m Andy Hook — a garden designer and working photographer based in Babworth, Nottinghamshire.

With a background in product design and over 20 years of creative experience, I bring a thoughtful, design-led approach to every garden I shape. My work focuses on creating beautiful, functional spaces that respond to place, climate, and how people actually live.

Right from the beginning we found him very professional and helpful in helping us decide what we wanted. He took on board our thoughts and designed a garden plan which was just what we had envisaged. During the building stage we found him reliable and hardworking throughout. He suggested various changes to the original plan which we agreed to include and implement these too and they have improved again the layout of the garden. Andy was very detailed in his costings too and the project came in bang on budget. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is looking at a design and build garden project .
