Welcome to Spike Jackson Garden Design, creators of beautiful, timeless gardens
for period and contemporary homes. Our portfolio ranges from a formal parterre for a
listed manor house through to the regeneration of a waterside habitat in a rural
setting.
Inspired by nature, informed by the local vernacular, we aim to create a resonance
between garden and architecture. By a careful analysis of the site and your lifestyle
we will achieve an elegant solution in harmony with your home and in keeping with its
setting. We specify sympathetic, natural materials wherever possible and place an
emphasis on creating structure through appropriate planting.
As our many testimonials show, customer service is at the heart of our business. An
initial consultation is free, so get in touch today, and take those first steps
towards realising the garden you have always dreamt of!
Dear Spike......
We are absolutely thrilled with the new-look parterre and the other great
improvements in the garden…. and we look forward to moving on to the next phases with
you in due course.
William Dick, Cambridge
The garden is fantastic………….the play equipment has been a roaring success and the
boys love it and spend so much time on it - it has paid for itself really! …
We are so thrilled with the transformation in the garden and have lived out there
(weather permitting!) All our friends are wildly jealous (especially of the grass
and the climbing frame). Thankyou so much for our wonderful garden - we would gladly
recommend you to anyone!!
Amanda Banham, Saffron Walden
May I say…what a wonderful vision you had for this project. We are much more
pleased than we expected, it gives us so much pleasure driving up to the house, and
the eye is now led around the sweeping driveway through the grand entrance – just like
you said it would! Thank you for convincing us about your excellent design (and all
your patience during our deliberation!). Also many thanks for your management of the
project which went very smoothly.

Spike Jackson uses his 30 years experience of all aspects of the landscaping
industry to combine technical expertise and artistic flair to produce gardens that are
built to last as well as beautiful. Spike received a firm grounding in landscape
construction and plantsmanship from Merrist Wood Horticulture College, and went on to
establish a very successful Design and Build business in central London. Since moving
to the Cambridge area, his increasing interest in the ecological and planning aspects
of garden-making has led him to diversify into providing a personalised design and
consultancy service for the owners of larger properties.
Since 2005, Spike has been accredited as a Registered Member of the Society of
Garden Designers (MSGD) – one of a select band of less than 200 designers nationwide
who have been judged by their peers as worthy of this designation. He has built up a
close working relationship with a small number of reputable landscape contractors who
implement his designs to the very high standard that he asks of them.
