Thoughtful gardens, built to last

I’m Andy Hook, a garden designer based in Babworth, Nottinghamshire.

With a degree in Product Design and more than 20 years of professional creative experience across design and photography, I bring a strong understanding of composition, proportion and the creative process to every project.

I create beautiful, functional gardens that respond to their setting, reflect how their owners want to live and are designed to thrive in a changing climate.

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 .
