Landscape and Garden Design
A complete landscape and garden design service to both the residential and commercial sectors is offered by Colette Charsley Associates. Whether you have a large country garden or just a small courtyard, we can transform your outdoor space into something beautiful which will give pleasure for years to come.
Any garden has the power to inspire and create delight in the way that property alone can rarely aspire to. Creating a stunning effect is within the grasp of anyone with a few square yards to many hundreds of acres. Good design will transform any outdoor space.
Our aim is to help you to realise the potential of your property and its surroundings in a way that is distinctive, dynamic and innovative but also sympathetic and relevant to the broader environment.
Our service is professional, creative and offers excellent value for money.

Design Services
We believe that every project and every client is different and approach them with no preconceptions. We are not constrained by a particular style and we don't have favoured looks that we try to shoehorn your project into. We will advise you and guide you. We will not dictate to you so, if for instance you want gnomes, that's fine. We design your garden for you.
Our aim is to work with you to help you achieve the garden you have always wanted. So we take the time to listen, to understand your needs and aspirations then set out to create a beautiful and functional garden for you.
It's as simple as that.
Planting Services
Plants soften and fill the structure of a garden. They add shape, movement, scent and colour and change continuously as the seasons and the years progress.
Planting brings a garden to life and gives it character. We offer a full planting service to our clients from the redesign of existing beds and borders through to the design and implementation of completely new schemes of any size.
As professional designers we look at the shape, habit and form of plants, we consider colour, light, movement and seasonality to deliver planting schemes of great beauty.
Commercial Services
We appreciate and understand the exacting requirements of working in the commercial sector and are able to deliver professional and cost effective schemes.
