DANIEL COMBES GARDEN DESIGN
Gloucestershire Garden Design
Daniel Combes Garden Design are a team of garden designers and landscape architects based in Wiltshire. Our work takes us throughout UK with a focus on the South West of England, regularly designing gardens and landscapes for homes in Gloucestershire.
Daniel Combes garden design projects in Gloucestershire vary enormously. Our work encompasses both large scale landscape designs as well as more modest commissions for town and country houses, historic estates and rural landscapes.
We work closely with our clients to achieve the best possible outcome for the house, the garden and landscape beyond. We enjoy the variety that the Gloucestershire countryside offers.
Our Gloucestershire garden projects have included reimagining a garden for a house that sits within a range of stone outbuildings forming courtyards and enclosures. Inspiration for this Gloucestershire garden design came from its historic association with Cirencester Abbey.
We are currently working on a Gloucestershire farmhouse garden design; the house has undergone a major refurbishment to create a stunning family home; designed by Fleming Architects.
Our garden design projects include those for listed period houses, and sympathetically designed contemporary properties. Amongst those seeking to relocate from London, celebrities are also bringing new wealth to the county. Luxury hotels, pubs and restaurants have opened to reflect on the areas new found prosperity.
