Bespoke Garden Design in Bath
Transforming Your Outdoors into Inspired Living Spaces
What We Do
Your garden is a natural extension of your home, and in a city as historic and picturesque as Bath, it deserves meticulous care and creativity. At Compass Garden Design, we specialise in transforming outdoor spaces into beautiful, functional retreats. Whether you are looking to create a peaceful sanctuary for relaxation or a vibrant area for entertaining, our bespoke garden design services ensure your outdoor living area reaches its full potential. We manage the entire process, guiding you from the initial consultation right through to the detailed scale plans and final planting.
Designing for Bath Gardens
Creating the perfect garden in Bath requires a deep understanding of the local landscape and architecture. We frequently work with the alkaline clay soils native to the South West, selecting robust, structural plants that naturally thrive in these conditions without requiring excessive ongoing maintenance.
Many properties in the area also feature sloped or terraced plots. We use creative terracing and retaining solutions to maximise usable space while perfectly complementing the traditional Bath stone that defines the city’s character. By sourcing appropriate materials and harmonising the hard landscaping with your property, we ensure the new garden feels authentic and grounded in its surroundings.
