Your garden

Helene Landscape and Garden Design
About Me
Experienced Garden Designer Specialising in Sustainable Landscapes and Ecological Design
Growing up in a remote village in Kazakhstan, far from the technological advancements of the 1970s and ’80s, I developed a deep connection with nature from an early age. Surrounded by mountains and steppes, my earliest memories of nature involve the peaceful sound of a stream and the small yellow flowers that grew along its banks. I would often climb trees and find solace under the enormous leaves in my grandmother’s garden, immersing myself in the surrounding countryside.
After spending my youth in Germany, where I discovered forests, meadows, and hills in lush shades of green, I moved to England. I graduated with merit from the prestigious Inchbald School of Design, where I refined my skills as a landscape and garden designer.
I specialise in designing gardens that integrate seamlessly with their natural surroundings, creating spaces that, no matter their size, offer a peaceful retreat from the demands of everyday life. My designs aim to provide not just beauty and tranquility, but also a sense of rejuvenation.
Designs Inspired by Nature, Art, and Sustainable Practices
Drawing inspiration from diverse landscapes, architecture, and design, I am deeply committed to creating sustainable and ecological gardens. One of the core elements of my work is developing biodiversity net gain plans to ensure that every garden I design leaves a positive environmental footprint, enhancing local biodiversity and helping to create thriving ecosystems.
Collaborating with Architects to Develop Holistic Garden and Landscape Plans
I work closely with architects to create holistic design plans that blend garden landscapes seamlessly with the overall architecture of the property. By collaborating with architects, I ensure that the design of the outdoor space complements and enhances the built environment, creating a unified and functional landscape that is both aesthetically pleasing and practical.
Comprehensive Garden Design and Landscaping Services
I offer a full range of garden design services, from the initial consultation to design, build, and planting stages. Whether you need help with a complete garden redesign or assistance with specific aspects, I tailor my services to meet your unique needs. I personally oversee every stage of the project to ensure the highest standards of quality, sustainability, and creativity.
My Services Include:

I serve clients across Hertfordshire, Essex, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and London, and am happy to discuss projects further afield.
I found Helene to be very professional with frequent visits to site to check that everything was progressing nicely without any issues, when I had any queries she's was also always available at the end of the phone. The design was a beautiful modern garden design and we had no problems with installing the garden from the plans/drawings that where provided.
