Elks-Smith Garden Design is an award winning garden design practice based on the borders of East Dorset and Hampshire. We work throughout Dorchester, Poole, Bournemouth, Lymington, the Isle of Wight, Southampton and all of the surrounding areas, creating unique and beautiful spaces. We’re often happy to go further afield for the right project, so please call for a chat.

Our experienced team designs gardens and landscapes for private individuals, architects and developers and has an extensive portfolio covering a wide range of residential, public and commercial projects. In order to deliver the best results we use a state of the art design studio which also enables us to work easily with other related professionals.

As well as being a place of beauty and relaxation, a garden must be functional in order to support and enhance your lifestyle. We ensure that all of our designs are appropriate for the character and location of each site as well as for those who will be using it. Whether it is an urban courtyard, a large country garden or a children’s play area, all gardens are designed with function at their heart.

Great garden design requires creativity, attention to detail and craftsmanship. Elks-Smith Garden Design create landscapes and gardens that are both beautiful and functional, bringing creative flair, enthusiasm and professionalism to every project.

Good garden design requires years of training and experience to blend spatial design, horticulture and construction effectively. Elks-Smith Garden Design has both the experience and the education.
