Environmental Gardening Expertise

At our core, we are passionate about crafting gardens that enhance the natural world, not disrupt it. Our sustainable garden design philosophy revolves around harmony with nature, where every plant, every stone, and every feature contributes to a healthier eco-system.

Our garden design consultants prioritise native plants, organic materials, water conservation and carbon-neutral builds. This ensures that your garden doesn't just look incredible; it actively contributes to reducing your carbon footprint.

By working with us, you are choosing to lower the environmental impact of your garden. Whether you are in the Cotswolds countryside or in the heart of Oxford or London we can design and build the perfect eco-friendly garden for your space.

Wildlife-Friendly Havens

Our sustainable garden designs are not just visually stunning; they are also thriving habitats for local wildlife. Be it birds, butterflies, or bees, we create spaces that attract and support a diverse range of creatures.

We incorporate features such as bird feeders, native plantings, and water features to ensure your garden is teeming with life. By working with 4thD Landscapes, you're investing in a garden that nurtures the ecosystem, promotes biodiversity, and fosters a sense of wonder and tranquility in your own backyard.

Why Choose Sustainable Garden Design?

In today's world, where climate change and habitat loss threaten our planet's future, it's our collective responsibility to take action. Choosing a sustainable garden design is a small yet significant step you can take.

By opting for environmentally friendly garden design, you are contributing to the preservation of biodiversity, reducing the urban heat island effect, and improving air and water quality. Your garden can be a powerful force for good.

A Beautiful, Responsible Garden

Sustainable garden design doesn't mean sacrificing aesthetics. On the contrary, our designs are renowned for their natural beauty. The vibrant colours, the soothing sounds of water features, and the joy of watching wildlife flourish – it's all part of the package.

With us, you'll have a garden that's not only visually stunning but also a source of personal pride. You'll be able to host outdoor gatherings, unwind in your own private oasis, and connect with nature without leaving your doorstep.

Natural Pest Management

Pests can be a source of annoyance for gardens, however, they are critical to a sustainable garden and they can be managed with the correct sustainable gardening techniques.

The use of pollinators and companion planting can direct insects and other bugs to certain areas of your garden. We utilise these techniques to ensure your garden allows wildlife to thrive whilst not becoming pests to your home.

Carbon-Neutral Builds

Our eco-friendly garden designs are all developed with carbon-neutral builds in mind. If you opt to use our experts to build your garden we will use techniques that avoid the use of materials and equipment that are carbon-heavy. On the rare occasion we will need to use petrol powered equipment but will offset any required usage at other stages of the build.

Local Plant Suppliers

For every garden build we create, we attempt to source all plants from local suppliers, or at least from the UK. We want to reduce the transit time that all the plants we use in our designs travel to minimise carbon emissions.

Also, we attempt to use native plants to reduce the chance of pests and disease from other countries.
