Living Landscapes are The Landscape Gardeners

Living Landscapes is a family run business and have been in the industry for over 20 years.

We operate from Chichester, West Sussex and cover West Sussex, Hampshire, Surrey, London and Dorset. We cater for commercial as well as the private customers.

We cover all aspects of hard and soft landscaping and tree surgery. Some of which might include paving, fencing, water features, timber decking, driveways, patios, tree care and soft landscaping including extensive planting plans.

The design of your garden is fundamentally the most important part in the process in creating your new outside living space.

A garden requires a balance of hard and soft landscaping to create harmony with the surrounding environment. As we are all aware, the environment is an important issue and needs to be dealt with seriously. Living Landscapes tries to ensure that all gardens created are ecologically friendly and kind to the natural world.

With over 24 years experience in designing and constructing gardens; from contemporary to period, from courtyards to country gardens, Living Landscapes will help you visualize your dream from conception through to completion.

Living Landscapes also construct garden for other high profile designers and also build gardens that do not require a design.
