Profile

I have been working as a garden designer since the early 1990s and, having worked as principal designer for 3 highly regarded landscape companies, set up my own practice in 2003. Although based in the West Country, I work throughout the UK designing mainly for private individuals, but also for developers and other organisations.

My aim is always to create a garden that is right for each client by listening carefully to individual wishes and needs and interpreting these whilst respecting budget, the house, its architecture and its surroundings.

My experience in landscaping and construction means I always have practicality in mind and it is important to me that each client will feel confident in recommending me.

I have created gardens ranging from traditional to contemporary, and for country estates, barn conversions, town houses, roof gardens etc. I am always happy to show my portfolio of completed projects. I have also designed for the major RHS shows, winning three consecutive gold medals at Hampton Court Palace International Flower Show. My work has been featured on television and in several publications, and I am a registered Member of the Society of Garden Designers, whose key aims include the promotion of excellence in garden design.

Laurence Maunder began working as a professional garden designer in the early 1990s in London and Surrey. He relocated to the south west and set up his own garden design and consultancy practice in Somerset in 2003. Laurence has an appreciation of ancient and modern architecture and is a keen enthusiast for nature, the countryside and the environment. His garden designs will always respect and reflect this. For a garden designer Bath is a most inspiring place to work and here Laurence has completed projects with both traditional and contemporary feel. As a garden designer Dorset, Devon and Somerset are areas with their own special characteristics, and Laurence has designed numerous stunning gardens both coastal and inland, and in the towns and countryside. So whether it is Dorset, Bath, Bristol, Exeter or a garden design Devon, Laurence will provide a unique service tailored for your home and to suit your individual needs.
