About

Tom Simpson Design is a multi-award-winning landscape and garden design studio creating truly personal spaces, uniquely tailored to each client’s specific needs and desires. Gardens are living spaces for people to enjoy that help us relax and improve our lives. The company's aim is to create the best and most beautiful gardens that their clients will fall in love with.

The studio’s approach is tailored to each individual project, taking careful consideration of the garden’s setting and surrounding landscape. A deep appreciation of the style of architecture that adjoins the garden is key to how they work; each garden must complement and enhance its setting. They work with a broad range of styles, creating spaces that excite with bold contemporary design, as well as spaces that are sympathetic to the period features of listed buildings.

The studio is led by Principal Designer, Tom Simpson who has been awarded three Royal Horticultural Society Gold Medals as well as Best In Show at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show.

With the studio based in London, they work on a portfolio of projects across the country and internationally. Their projects range from small town gardens to large country estates. They have broad experience working on projects with sensitive environmental and heritage planning conditions, including a grade 2* listed historic gardens and parkland.

The company offers a holistic design service, being involved from concept through to completion of the project. They work closely with architects and interior designers to ensure there is harmony between the interior and exterior living spaces. During the build, they will work with landscape contractors and other specialists to ensure the garden is built to an exacting standard and quality. Once completed they maintain a close relationship with their clients to ensure the garden is properly maintained allowing it to mature and develop beautifully.
