Our Services
Bramley Apple Garden Design creates thoughtful, characterful gardens that feel completely at home in their surroundings. Every space is shaped by the architecture, the landscape and - most importantly - how each client wants to live outdoors.
Led by award‑winning designer and horticulture lecturer Sarah Plested, the studio blends creative vision with practical expertise to deliver gardens that are both beautiful and genuinely usable.
Sustainability and biodiversity guide every project. Sarah designs wildlife‑rich, environmentally responsible gardens that enhance the natural world and create lasting harmony between people and place.
Why choose us
bespoke design
Every project begins with a conversation. By taking the time to understand your aspirations, your lifestyle and the way you want to experience your outdoor space, we create a garden that is entirely bespoke. This personal, collaborative approach ensures your garden is designed with precision, sensitivity and a deep appreciation of how you live.
plant knowledge & expertise
Plants sit at the heart of every design. Their colour, movement, structure and texture bring a garden to life, creating spaces that evolve beautifully through the seasons. With a deep understanding of horticulture, we select and combine plants with precision, ensuring your garden feels vibrant, balanced and effortlessly harmonious.
taking care of the future
Our dedication to sustainability extends beyond design. We work with nurseries and suppliers who uphold the highest standards of environmental responsibility, biosecurity and ethical growing. This ensures your garden is not only beautiful, but also part of a healthier, more resilient future.
What our client had to say...
"I was the owner of Bowood Landscapes and we employed the services of Sarah Plested on numerous projects and she is by far one of the best garden designers around. Crucially she is passionate about what she does and importantly knows what to deliver. Apart from the obvious skilled work she produces, she is great to get on with and has a refreshing no-nonsense approach when it comes to working a design and build budget - these are things every landscape contractor and most importantly the client needs to know. Highly recommend Bramley Apple Garden Design, especially if you want the best".
