A skilful team dedicated to the very best design & build experience
Greenwild was founded by Lucy Hall, a horticulturist and garden designer with over a decade of experience. When Lucy’s husband Ed, whose background was rooted in the same world of organic agriculture and conservation, joined the studio, something clicked into place. Design and build, finally working as one. A shared language, a shared standard and a shared belief in what a garden can be.
The belief runs through everything we do; that gardens should sit naturally within their landscape. That they should support the wildlife and ecosystems around them. And that the best outdoor spaces are made with as much patience and care as the land itself demands.
Considered from the start. Cared for long after.
From the first conversation to the day your garden is handed over and through the seasons that follow, we bring the same unhurried attention to every stage. Nothing is decided arbitrarily. Nothing is rushed. We design each garden to feel like it belongs where it is, built to hold its quality over years and planted to grow more beautiful with time.

About Lucy Hall
Lucy’s connection to the natural world began long before she became a garden designer.
Lucy’s connection to the natural world began long before she became a garden designer. With a distinction in horticulture and garden design from the English Gardening School and a background in organic agriculture and conservation, she came to design through a deep understanding of how plants grow, how ecosystems work and how landscapes change over time.
“I have a clear vision: to create modern country gardens; loose, wild and romantic in essence, that are genuinely considered in their design, their planting and their relationship to the wider landscape.”
About Ed Hall
Ed’s background in organic agriculture and landscaping gives him an instinctive understanding of how outdoor spaces work and what it takes to build them well.
He oversees all construction work, leading a skilled team of landscapers who work to the same exacting standards as the designs they’re realising.
Where many studios treat design and build separately, Ed’s involvement early on means that practical knowledge shapes every decision; how materials will perform, how a space will be used, how a garden will age. The result is a build process that’s as thoughtful as the design that informs it.
The landscape and build team
Alongside Lucy and Ed are a team of landscapers who have been chosen for their craft, care and commitment to standards that run through everything we do. These are the people who bring each garden to life on the ground and their work shows it.
Accreditation
We are a pre-registered member of the Society of Garden Designers, the UK’s leading professional body for garden design. Pre-registered membership recognises designers working towards full accreditation, committed to professional standards, continued development and the values the SGD upholds across the industry.
The Greenwild Approach
-
Every garden we make begins with careful observation of your site, architecture, light and landscape. We take time to understand what your garden is asking for before we begin to answer it. Everything is earned rather than imposed.
-
Transforming your garden is a privilege undertaking and the process should feel as good as the result. We work closely with you, listening carefully, communicating clearly and making sure the journey from first meeting to finished project is one you look back on with pleasure.
-
The standard which we hold ourselves to is simple; every element of your garden; the materials, the planting, the construction, should be chosen and executed with the kind of care that makes it last. Not just visually stunning on the day it’s finished, but enduring in its details and its quality for years to come.
-
Our background in organic agriculture and conservation aren’t just a part of our story, they shape every garden we make. Gardens here are designed to support wildlife, to work with the natural rhythms of the landscape and to feel alive in every season, giving back as much as they offer.
Where we work
Rooted in the South East
We design and build gardens across Kent, Sussex and the wider South East of England, from Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells to Wadhurst, Cranbrook and the landscapes and towns in between. Working within a region we know deeply enables us to bring local knowledge to every project; an understanding of your soil, the microclimate, the native plants that thrive here and the particular quality of light that makes these gardens so distinctive.
Being rooted also means staying close. We’re present throughout every project, on site at the moments that matter, available when questions arise and truly invested in how each garden grows and settles through the first years and beyond.
“Working with Lucy was such a pleasure. The whole process felt relaxed, enjoyable and genuinely collaborative. We are thrilled with the garden. It has changed the way we live in the house, and we now find ourselves spending as much time looking out at it as we do sitting in it.”
Mark & Sophie, Tunbridge Wells
“Greenwild did a fantastic job with our garden. It was not a straightforward site, but Lucy and the team handled everything with real care and confidence. The design feels established, natural and as though it has always belonged there, rather than looking newly added.”
