Garden Design and Build in West Sussex

If your outdoor space feels tired, cluttered, or simply doesn’t reflect your home, our garden design and build service can completely transform it.

As a local garden designer and landscaper, we work on a variety of projects — from small city gardens and new-build plots to larger country gardens in need of structure and planting inspiration. We specialise in design-led landscaping, combining creative layouts with robust, longlasting construction.

Our designs often feature:

Balanced proportions and visual flow between house and garden
Thoughtful use of materials that complement your property’s character
Seasonal planting for beauty throughout the year
Wildlife-friendly elements such as ponds, wildflower areas, and native hedging

Every design is built by Graham and his small, experienced team, ensuring personal attention and craftsmanship from start to finish.

About Earth Architecture
& Graham Swain

Earth Architecture was founded by Graham Swain, a West Sussex gardener with an honours degree in Architecture and formal horticultural training from RHS Wisley in Surrey. This unique combination of design and horticultural expertise allows Graham to create gardens that are both visually striking and environmentally sound.

Graham’s passion for gardens runs deep — his ancestor, John Stewart, was Head Gardener for Lord Palmerston at the historic Broadlands Estate in Hampshire.

With over three decades of experience, Graham remains fully hands-on, personally overseeing every project. His design process continues through construction, as he refines and “tweaks” each detail to ensure the finished garden exceeds expectations. Working alongside one or two trusted landscapers, he brings a personal touch and a meticulous eye for detail to every project.
