Stephen also likes to maintain contact with the client after the garden is completed and believes that this is an essential element in delivering client satisfaction.
Central to Stephen’s philosophy as a garden designer is identifying and drawing out the essence of a location. This is what gives his gardens a particular quality of harmony and belonging.
