Why Choose Luke Gevaux Garden Design?

Bespoke, Client and Wildlife-Centric Solutions

Your garden should reflect your needs, tastes, and lifestyle. I take time to understand how you’ll use the space, whether for relaxing, entertaining, or growing edibles, and craft a layout that works for you. Every scheme is unique, built around your vision.

Each design is created with the local ecosystem in mind. By selecting the right plants and creating habitat features, you’ll welcome all kinds of wildlife, from bees and birds, to tiny, beneficial insects into your space. The result is a vibrant garden that thrives year-round and supports biodiversity.

Plant Communities

I design planting schemes as living communities, groups of species chosen not just for their beauty, but for the way they support and strengthen one another over time. By understanding how plants grow, compete, and coexist in nature, I create combinations that knit together effortlessly, filling space, suppressing weeds, and thriving with minimal intervention.

Each layer has a purpose: structural plants that anchor the design, seasonal performers that bring colour and movement, and ground‑weavers that protect the soil and reduce maintenance. These communities are resilient, ecologically rich, and tailored to the unique conditions of your garden, so they establish quickly and continue to look good with far less labour than traditional, high‑input borders.

The result is a garden that feels abundant and alive — a place where beauty emerges from harmony, not hard work.

Seamless Contextual Harmony

Gardens should feel as if they’ve always belonged to their setting. I study your site’s soil, aspect, and the architectural style of your home and locality to design a scheme that blends effortlessly with its surroundings. The finished garden never feels “plonked,” but rather an organic extension of home and landscape.

Sustainable, Locally Sourced Materials

From reclaimed stone to locally cut timber, I prioritise materials with low environmental impact. This not only reduces your garden’s carbon footprint but also supports local artisans and suppliers. You’ll enjoy a durable, characterful space built on eco-friendly choices.

Professionally Accredited Expertise

I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Garden Design from the British Academy of Garden Design. My academic training, paired with hands-on ecological experience, means you benefit from both rigorous design principles and sensitive, wildlife-friendly practices.
