Considered gardens.

Rooted in design and delivered with care, Terra Nova creates considered gardens for homes and commercial settings across Guernsey. Each project is approached as a piece of spatial design, where planting, materials, and structure are composed to sit naturally within their surroundings. The result is an outdoor space that feels resolved, purposeful, and made to endure — visually, practically, and over time.

In their words

Four people standing outdoors, looking at a document, smiling and engaging in conversation, with trees and a fence in the background.

“From the earliest conversations through to completion, the process felt thoughtful and well judged. The finished garden sits comfortably within its setting and has genuinely changed how we use the space day to day.”

“What stood out was the attention to detail and the quality of the materials. Every element feels considered, and the garden has only improved with time. It’s a space that feels properly resolved.”

Terra Nova Guernsey

a design-led approach

Every Terra Nova garden begins with design. Proportion, materiality, and planting are carefully considered to create outdoor spaces that feel balanced, purposeful, and rooted in their surroundings. The result is work that is calm in character, enduring in quality, and made to be lived with over time.

From concept to completion

A CONSIDERED PROCESS UNDERPINS EVERY PROJECT, ALLOWING IDEAS TO DEVELOP NATURALLY AND BE DELIVERED WITH CLARITY AND CARE.

Each project begins with a clear understanding of the site and its context. Layout, materials, and planting are explored together, forming a coherent design guiding every decision.

DESIGN

Technical detail, sequencing, and coordination are carefully resolved in advance. This ensures the transition from design to build is considered and well managed from the outset.

PLANNING

Landscaping is carried out with precision and restraint, using trusted materials and experienced hands. Craft, finish, and longevity are prioritised at every stage of construction.

BUILD

Once complete, gardens are supported to mature as intended. Advice and ongoing care ensure the space continues to improve with time.
