Immersive 3D Garden Design, as Standard
"3D visualisation is not an optional extra. It’s built into the way I design, helping you understand the space before anything is built."
From The 3D Gardener to Studio Stour
Before Studio Stour was established, founder David Negus worked under the name The 3D Gardener, combining over a decade of architectural visualisation experience with a passion for landscape design.
Today that expertise forms an integral part of Studio Stour.
The 3D Gardener has evolved into our specialist visualisation service, supporting both our own garden design projects and commissions from architects, developers and fellow designers.
Why Visualisation Matters.
A visual can explain how a place will feel.
CGI allows you to:
-
Explore ideas before construction begins.
-
Refine layouts and materials with confidence.
-
Understand levels, scale and proportion.
-
Compare design options.
-
Communicate proposals clearly with family, planning consultants and contractors.
-
Reduce costly changes during construction.
Designing with real-world accuracy
Drone photography and digital mapping help capture the site from a completely different perspective. Combined with site surveys and measurements, this provides a clearer understanding of levels, context, views and opportunities, forming a solid foundation for the design.
See your garden before it's built
Every Studio Stour project is developed in detailed 3D, allowing you to explore your future garden before construction begins. Materials, planting, lighting and layout can all be refined with confidence, helping transform ideas into informed design decisions.
What 3D visualisation really adds to a garden project
Every project is developed in detailed 3D, reducing uncertainty and improving decision making.

More Than a Model
""I don't use 3D to present my designs. I use 3D to design better gardens."
Before founding Studio Stour, I spent over a decade creating architectural visualisations.
That experience now shapes the way I design every garden.
I naturally think in three dimensions, considering space, scale, light and movement from the very beginning—not as an afterthought, but as an integral part of the design process.

“From first sketch to final snag, it was David all the way.
One point of contact, weekly updates, quick decisions.
The planting is already buzzing with life, and we finished on time and on budget.
