Our Team

John Cusden, the founder of John Cusden Garden Design, is a qualified and experienced gardener and garden designer. He holds a Professional Diploma in Garden Design from Merrist Wood College, Guildford, Surrey, and a General Certificate in Horticulture from Plumpton College, Plumpton, East Sussex.

John's designs are sensitive to the specific environment and accurately capture the requirements of a brief, thanks to his strong horticultural background and intuitive ability to know what is right for a site. He works with a select team of skilled craftspeople and landscape specialists, ensuring all aspects of your garden needs can be covered with a single call.

Garden Design

Our design process includes several stages, tailored to your specific needs:

1) Initial Consultation: We offer a free, no-obligation on-site consultation to discuss your requirements and explain the design process. We encourage you to bring a selection of pictures to illustrate your ideas.

2) Site Survey and Analysis: If you decide to proceed, we conduct a detailed site survey, recording existing levels, soil type, aspect, and the presence of trees. For larger gardens and challenging sites, we might employ the services of a land surveyor.

3) Concept Plan: We develop a number of concept plans for you to consider. We support these with a visual mood board illustrating the overall feel of the design.

4) Masterplan: Once you have chosen your preferred route, we create the final masterplan, outlining every detail of the design.

Planting Plans

Our professional planting plans can transform a tired flowerbed into something vibrant and full of life. We consider the specific environment and the plants' compatibility with local wildlife.

Border Redesigns and Garden Renovations
