About
I'm Claire Evans, a garden designer creating thoughtful, practical and beautiful gardens across Berkshire, Hampshire, Surrey and Oxfordshire.
I work closely with clients to shape gardens around the way they live, helping them realise the full potential of their outdoor space. Whether the goal is to solve a specific challenge, improve how the garden functions, or create a space they've always dreamed of, every design is tailored to the people who use it.
My approach combines strong structure, considered planting and a sensitivity to place, creating gardens that feel cohesive, inviting and connected to their surroundings. From contemporary family gardens to rural landscapes, I aim to create spaces that are both visually appealing and enjoyable to spend time in throughout the year.
After training in garden design and horticulture, I established my practice to help clients create gardens that are beautiful, functional and enduring
I take on a limited number of projects each year, allowing time to carefully consider each design and work closely with my clients.
Projects are developed in clear stages, from initial consultation through to detailed design, planting, and build. This structured approach ensures the process is straightforward and that each element of the garden is fully resolved.
