garden design and landscaping in Down Ampney

Considered gardens in Down Ampney

Down Ampney is a quiet, affluent Cotswold village, the birthplace of the composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, set in open countryside on the edge of the Water Park. We design and build design-led gardens here: full garden design and build, natural and wildlife ponds, planting and outdoor living, worked to suit the rural setting.

The ground around Down Ampney

Down Ampney sits where Cotswold limestone meets clay, with the Water Park lakes nearby, so the ground can shift from free-draining to water-holding within a plot and the water table can sit high in places. That mix suits natural and wildlife ponds and means the groundwork and drainage are read and built to suit. We survey the ground first and build for what is there.

Planning in Down Ampney

Down Ampney sits within or close to the Cotswold National Landscape, where the rules on materials and what can be built are stricter. We tell you what applies to your plot before we start, and point you to Cotswold District Council where a check is needed.
