Landscape Architecture & Private Garden Design London
Turn Your Outdoor Space Into Somewhere You Actually Use. Oraanj designs gardens, terraces, courtyards, and outdoor living spaces for residential and selected commercial properties across London.
We start with how you want to use the space, dining outside, entertaining, relaxing, creating privacy, giving children room to play, or simply making the garden feel more connected to the house.
From layout and outdoor furniture to paving, lighting, planting direction, and 3D visualisation, we bring the different elements together into one considered outdoor design.
What Would You Like to Create?
The Layout Comes Before the Plants
Before choosing paving, furniture, or planting, we establish how your outdoor space needs to work—from dining and lounging to sunlight, privacy, and maintenance preferences.
Gardens
Garden & Courtyard Design
Planning townhouse gardens, period gardens, and compact enclosed courtyards around clear functional zones.
Entertaining
Outdoor Dining & Kitchens
Coordinating table sizes, chair clearances, barbecue/outdoor kitchen zones, and circulation with your indoor kitchen.
Lounging
Outdoor Living & Terraces
Designing comfortable outdoor lounge areas, roof terraces, and penthouse balconies with properly scaled seating and planters.
Commercial
Commercial Outdoor Spaces
Designing restaurant terraces, café seating, office terraces, and hospitality outdoor areas around business operations.
We establish an effortless visual dialogue between internal living spaces and the garden through our residential interior design and build London schemes.
Our landscape design team transforms gardens across Richmond upon Thames, Kingston upon Thames, Totteridge, Barnet, and Hayes.
Indoor-Outdoor Living & Space Planning
Let the Garden Feel Connected to the House
For properties with large windows, sliding doors, bifold doors, or rear extensions, the garden becomes part of what you see from inside the property every day.
1. Sightlines, Flooring & Paving Continuity
We consider sightlines from inside, the relationship between interior flooring and exterior paving, colour palettes, and natural movement between indoors and outdoors.
2. Dividing the Garden Around How You Live
Rather than filling every corner, we balance dining, relaxing, entertaining, cooking, children’s play, planting, and storage with comfortable clearances.
3. Landscape Design as Part of a Home Renovation
Planning the inside and outside together during a wider property refurbishment ensures doors, glazing, kitchen layouts, lighting, and drainage feel cohesive.
We take complete contract responsibility for groundworks, planting, and hardscaping as a single-source garden design and build company.
Materials, Planting, Privacy & Garden Lighting
Designing the Complete Outdoor Environment for Day and Evening
We bring together exterior materials, planting direction, privacy screening, and evening lighting, and can visualise the proposed garden in 3D before work begins.
Materials
Outdoor Materials & Finishes
Selecting stone, porcelain paving, timber, composite materials, rendered surfaces, planters, and weather-resistant exterior fabrics.
Planting
Planting & Privacy Screening
Using planting, trees, planters, trellis, and screening to soften hard surfaces, frame views, and create privacy without closing the garden in.
Lighting
Evening Garden Lighting
Developing decorative lighting direction for dining areas, steps, pathways, feature trees, walls, and seating zones after dark.
3D CGI
3D Garden Visualisation
Visualising how furniture, paving, planting, lighting, and outdoor structures relate to your property before implementation.
Exterior transformations are managed in harmony with interior extensions by our accredited home renovation contractors in London.
Garden transformations connect with residential renovations through our home renovation company London and design and build services, as seen in our Wimbledon residence interior design project.
Landscape Design vs. Landscaping & Our Process
Work With Your Own Landscaper or Coordinate Within an Oraanj Project
Landscape & garden design establishes what the outdoor space should look like and how it should work; landscaping is the physical groundwork, paving, construction, and planting.
1. Already Have a Landscaper?
Design and physical installation can be separate. We can develop the outdoor design for implementation by your chosen landscape contractor, or coordinate outdoor works within a wider Oraanj renovation scope.
2. Specialist Technical & Horticultural Input
Where structural loading (such as roof terraces), drainage, waterproofing, electrical installation, or detailed horticultural specifications are required, these are coordinated with the appropriate qualified specialists.
3. Clear Step-by-Step Design Process
From reviewing your existing garden plans, photos, and priorities to establishing the layout, developing materials and furniture, visualising in 3D, and refining the final design.
