Designed for life

Over the last 16 years Alaster Anderson have designed, installed and maintained beautiful gardens in London. Passionate about horticulture they create sustainable gardens for every season whatever the size or orientation.

Working with private clients to understand what they want, Alaster Anderson conceive imaginative spaces that work for the homeowner’s lifestyle. Whether the focus is on entertaining or relaxation, designs include every detail including lighting, landscaping, furniture as well as planting.

As plantsmen and women, they do everything possible to choose plants that will fulfil the brief and meet the conditions of the environment. From surveying the site, and conducting soil tests they include irrigation and drainage in the plans if required, to ensure that the plants and trees selected will flourish. The team have strong connections with leading specialist nurseries across Europe so there really is no limit to what can be achieved.

Many London gardens can often present unique challenges be it size, access, shade, or privacy. The teams’ experience and expertise mean that these obstacles can be worked around so that the most is made of every space whether on a roof-top or on the ground.

Alaster Anderson take complete responsibility for all aspects of project management and are known to have as “white glove” an installation service as gardening can be. The garden is often a project undertaken when other building work is going on and the team have a strong track record of liaising with other contractors such as architects, builders and interior designers.

The team consider and prepare for site logistics organising everything required, even road closures if necessary. Many homeowners want immediate impact and screening, so the team often create gardens that don’t need to wait years to reach maturity by installing mature trees and hedges, craning these over the roof if required.

Once installed, the team are often retained to maintain the garden to ensure that the design potential is reached for years to come.

Having worked in many prestigious garden projects from conception to completion and beyond, Alaster Anderson bring the skills required to transform any private space into an escape from the city.
