Adam Vetere Landscape and Garden Design

I am a multi - award winning Garden and Landscape Designer, and a qualified member of the Association of Professional Landscapers and the Society of Garden Designers, who has been honed from a unique background in horticulture, graphic design, practical landscaping and business design. I am enthused by my passion for plants and innovative, yet sustainable design and graduated from the London College of Garden Design in 2019 with a Distinction.

I have designed gardens both large and small, town or country, drawing upon inspiration from the four corners of the world, utilising my passion for plants and inspirational design.

I work with clients across the south of England and further afield, producing innovative solutions to small town house gardens or large multi-acre schemes for large country homes, all of which are executed with equal passion for the unique challenges that they bring.

As an accomplished landscape designer, my first designs were in the early 1990s whilst working for a reputable landscape design and construction company for several years.

Having had extensive graphical design training, I had the opportunity to put my training to good use; my designs are visionary and practical as I was building and constructing the designs myself, understanding the practical and budgetary limits of the materials and the time needed to implement a design scheme.

Having established my Design Practice in 2018, the business has grown significantly in recent years, and today I am supported a small team of dedicated and highly qualified Garden Designers.

What our customers are saying

Adam has designed a beautiful garden for us, which we hope will be implemented in the coming month or two. We have been so impressed with Adam throughout the design process - his design is perfect for our very unusual site, and he listened to all of our requirements throughout. He has done far more than we would have expected in supporting us through the planning application process. We can't wait to see our garden come to life! Update Aug 2022 Our garden has now been completed and we are absolutely delighted. Despite only increasing the useable area of the garden by a relatively small amount (with a stunning cantilevered deck over a steep slope in the garden), Adam’s clever design means our garden feels very much larger than it did. We have areas for the children to play and three separate seating areas, all tied together by a beautiful planting scheme. We want to be outside all the time! We are so impressed with the way the design maximises the special and unusual setting of our garden in the surrounding landscape. The garden is full of bees and butterflies all day, so we really feel that the project has had a positive impact on the environment around us, too. Adam’s support during the whole design and build process was exemplary. He clearly has strong links in the industry - the contractor he recommended to complete the project was excellent, and Adam was on hand whenever we or the build team needed design or planting guidance. We can’t recommend him highly enough!
Rachel and Steven Kelly, Berkshire

Adam Vetere did an amazing job when designing my 100 sqm roof terrace. He was professional, courteous and efficient throughout the process, and his design exceeded my expectations in every respect. The greatest hurdle to overcome with designing a roof terrace is to work within considerable weight limitations and yet to still come up with a pleasing result and make it all look effortless. Adam achieved all that and I could not be more happy with the results. Working with Adam on this project was a pleasure. He was always available and helpful on the phone or by email when I had a query … not a ‘given’ these days. I can highly recommend Adam. If I could give him 10 stars, I happily would.
Christina Icke, Hampshire

Adam has designed the most beautiful garden for us, which was implemented and finalised in September 2023. I was really impressed by Adam design process, details attention and professionalism. He managed to transform a very awkward shaped garden in the angled garden which captured all that we asked for on day one. I highly recommend Adam.
Anna MacDonald, Berkshire

It has been such a privilege working with Adam on our garden. His vision for the space was beyond what we would have ever thought of. Taking into account our concerns and tentative ideas, he quickly came up with a design that enhanced the views and gave us a stunning garden that we love! Adam has exceeded our expectations and has continued to support us with help and advice, including a detailed seasonal care plan for the garden. We cannot thank him enough for all the work he did. We highly recommend him.
Duncan Glynn, Hampshire

We are eternally grateful to Adam, who came to the rescue on our new build landscaping project, creating an innovative contemporary garden design to maximise the views from our difficult sloping site and reflect the contours of the surrounding landscape. In addition to his obvious expertise, Adam has shown great flexibility in dealing with our difficult deadlines and liaising with the builders and architect. We felt that Adam really understood us as people and incorporated this, helping us design not just the garden but our whole outside entertaining space. Adam's detailed presentation helped us understand how the garden will look across the seasons - we can’t wait to see the finished planting. I can't recommend Adam highly enough - Thanks Adam.
Zoe Taylor, Hampshire

Through every stage from the initial planning to the implementation Adam and his team provided the highest level of service. The design reflected both Adam's ideas and our own contributions ensuring that our objectives were achieved. All the work was carried out on the specified dates, in a non-intrusive way, and an excellent dialogue ensured that we were kept fully up-to-date with progress. Despite difficult weather at the time the work was completed absolutely to schedule, and already it is clear that Adam will provide follow-up and advice when needed. Interaction with the team was pleasant and everyone worked in a very tidy and organised way. We would have no hesitation in recommending this company.
