Garden & Landscape Design
"Sustainable Gardens Shaped by People, Place and Purpose"
Meet the Founder ...
Studio Stour is a design-led garden and landscape studio rooted in the natural rhythms of the River Stour, but designing across the UK and Ireland.
Every project begins with people.
Landscapes that settle quietly over time.
Not trend-led:
Simply right for where they are.
Designed with Passion.
From intimate courtyards to expansive landscapes, our designs always put people first — ensuring accessibility, flow, and a sense of place.
“David made the whole process feel personal and stress-free. His friendly, creative approach turned our ideas into a garden that feels both natural and beautifully designed.”

"A fantastic designer to work with when trying to create a new garden. David has the experience and ability to create the most amazing designs from whatever brief you send him.
He is also excellent at understanding the cost implications of the design and can modify to budget."

Concept & Vision
“We start with your story — listening closely to your ideas and aspirations. Then we translate them into sketches, moodboards, and 3D visuals that bring the future garden to life.”
Detailed Design & Planting
“From layout plans to full planting palettes, we design every detail. Plants are chosen for beauty, resilience, and ecological value, ensuring year-round interest.”
Sustainable Build Support
“We collaborate with skilled landscapers and suppliers, guiding material choices that reduce waste and celebrate circular design. From reclaimed stone to cork and cordwood, sustainability and circular Design is always part of the process.”
