Cookies & Privacy Controls

A considered approach

We believe your personal information should be handled with the same care and attention as the gardens we design.

This page explains, in a clear and straightforward way, how we use cookies and how your data is collected, stored and respected.

What we collect

When you visit the website or get in touch, we may collect:

  • Your name and contact details

  • Information you choose to share about your project

  • Basic website usage data (such as pages visited)

We only collect what is necessary, and nothing more.

How your information is used

Your information is used simply to:

  • Respond to your enquiry

  • Prepare proposals and manage projects

  • Improve the experience of the website

We do not sell, rent or share your data for marketing purposes.

Cookies - a simple explanation

Cookies are small files stored on your device that help the website function smoothly and provide insight into how it is used.

They allow us to improve the experience without being intrusive.

The cookies we use

Essential

These are necessary for the website to function properly, such as enabling forms and basic navigation.

They cannot be switched off.

Analytics

These help us understand how the website is used so it can be refined over time.

They show patterns rather than identifying individuals.

Preferences

These remember your choices, such as your cookie settings, so you do not need to reselect them each time you visit.

Marketing

We do not currently use advertising or tracking cookies.

Your control

You remain in control of your data at all times.

When you first visit the website, you can choose whether to accept non-essential cookies.

You can also adjust your preferences at any time through your browser settings.
